The Uninkable Dads Podcast

Three weeks ago we called Emerald Amethyst a sleeper deck. Last weekend it won two CCQs. Now DLC London is underway. Will it make top cut on the biggest stage in Europe, or will the field expose it?

We go through the Emerald Amethyst Retro Evolution Device list, including the line that gets Prince Phillip down as early as turn five, and how to slow it down: hand removal, taking out its big bodies, and getting songs out of its hand. We also explain why Detectives is a serious contender for the top spots and look at the latest paper meta share. Then we cover what’s on at DLC London: Season of Villainy promos and prizes, side events, the free Fan Zone activities, and what to pack.

Find us in the Fan Zone on Saturday and play our DLC Bingo. It’s live now on uninkabledads.com. Complete a line and you win a prize, and a full house gets you a chance at our Enchanted giveaway. Come and say hi!

Emerald Amber Songs took first and second at DLC Bangkok, with three of the top eight. The same weekend it was 21% of the field at the JTC Invitational in Milton Keynes, and not one of those players made the top four. So did Bangkok know something the UK didn’t, or has the UK found the answer? With DLC London around the corner, we dig into it.

We break down the Bangkok-winning Circle of Life Songs list and the JTC top four: Emerald Steel, a hyper-aggro Amber Steel list and Detectives. We also cover the cards that take songs out of your opponent’s hand, like Ursula, and the ones that stop them being sung, like Toulouse. Plus a recap of a brilliant day at Players Paradise and the JTC anti-drop format, and a pack battle.

Is Purple Steel the Disney Lorcana deck nobody is ready for at DLC? Official DLC caster and Twitch streamer Colorislaw joins us with her Amethyst Steel build from Hyperia City. It’s inspired by Mo’s list from the JDZ Iconic Clash and runs nine Hyperia City cards, including Demona, Merlin and the Hyperia City Express.

We also break down two more off-meta decks for the competitive season: Grandad Glenn’s Ruby Amethyst “Tap Tap Boom” with Mulan and Wasabi, and FPSMadness’s Emerald Amethyst Prince Phillip board wipe, now with the Don Karnage shift line. Plus the current Hyperia City meta, how Colorislaw went from streaming to casting DLCs, and her top tips for your first DLC.

Hyper City is here, and ink drops are everywhere. This week Michael and Glenn break down the two decks sitting at the top of the early meta, then go through the ink drop rules most players are getting wrong.

First up is Emerald Steel: why Walter & Jesse and Flash have made it the deck to beat, and how Max Goof doubles up your Strength of a Raging Fire. Then Emerald Amber Songs, with the Don Karnage and Wither a Flower combo that’s close to a board wipe on turn four.

After that, it’s everything you need to know about ink drops. How they work, why they don’t count as ink in your inkwell, how to track them, and which cards hand them to your opponent. Along the way we cover Baymax Armored Up, Intense Research, the Big Hero 6 cards, Shere Khan’s deal, and the mysterious “pay 6” tax.

We also look at the new Adventurous keyword, the Coco discard cards, a round of tricky rules questions, and a viewer-submitted Emerald Amber “Playing Possum” deck.

Cracked your packs and wondering what to build? We’ve put together seven Day One decks packed with new Set 14 cards, so you know exactly what to sleeve up first for locals.

We run through Ruby/Amethyst and Amethyst/Steel Gargoyles, Amber/Emerald, Amethyst/Ruby, Amber/Steel Songs, Amber/Sapphire Princesses and Emerald/Steel, picking out the key new cards like Wasabi, Shere Khan, Demona, Pepita, Mickey Mouse and Walter & Jesse. We also debate whether the new Mickey earns a place in aggro, and why Clawhauser changes everything.

Plus a look at the new Vault X top loader binder, our chase cards for launch weekend, and a shout-out to Colour is Lore’s 1,000 follower giveaway on Twitch.

All seven deck lists are on uninkabledads.com. Build them, test them, and let us know what you’d change, or send us your own version using the new Send Your Deck to the Dads feature.
