Table of contents

It utilizes characters with solid stats and singing songs that can help you banish opposing threats and out value the everything that your opponent is doing during mid game.
Amethyst Steel Midrange META Deck Guide
Ink Identity
Let’s start by understanding the identity of the Ink Colors that we chose for this Amethyst Steel Midrange META Deck Guide.
This is the Deck that we will be using as an example.
Amethyst
In this deck, Amethyst plays the role of providing Draws, Evasives, Speed, and the ability to exert your opponent’s characters. Since Amethyst is possibly the strongest Ink Color at the moment, this made it the main shell of the deck.
Amethyst is the best color in the game when it comes to flexibility and card draw. The Deck has 13 cards from Amethyst alone that can or allows you to draw. Speed in a non greedy way is also part of the flexibility. Cards like Palace Guard – Spectral Sentry, Giant Cobra – Ghostly Serpent, and Genie – Wish Fulfilled are great at doing this. While cards like Royal Guard – Octopus Soldier, Cheshire Cat – Inexplicable, Demona – Betrayer of the Clan, Elsa – The Fifth Spirit, Hades – Looking for a Deal, and Demona – Scourge of the Wyvern Clan are great for controlling the board.
Steel
On the other hand, Steel is a great compliment to our Amethyst Shell. It provides the best midgame characters for board pressure. Most of all, it has the best midgame removal in the game.
You can create tempo right off the bat with possibly the best opening curve in terms of creating momentum on the board. Captain Hook – Forceful Duelist, Calhoun – Marine Sergeant, and Lexington – Small in Stature are unmatched at the moment, especially when you’re on the play.
From there, Singing Strength of a Raging Fire and He Hurled His Thunderbolt will assure you that you will always have control of the board. At least in midgame.
Amethyst Steel Midrange Variants and Dech Techs
Amethyst Steel Midrange Variants
There are many ways to build an Amethyst Steel Midrange META Deck. This is due to Amethyst and Steel both having different types of utilities and flexibility in the game. Building the deck always comes down to what type of meta we are in and what decks are we targeting.
Here’s a quick look of which version is best for what meta.
Fast Midrange – Best for Control Meta.
True Midrange – Best for Aggro Meta. (Most Flexible)
Midrange Control – Best for Midrange Meta.
Amethyst Steel Midrange Deck Techs
Amethyst Steel Midrange META Deck is a deck where everyone’s version looks different. Unlike other decks, it has the most potential for techs. Which can make it unpredictable for closed deck format and give it a nice surprise factor.
Here’s a list of cards that you can use as a tech for the deck:
– Mulan – Disguised Soldier
– Olaf – Helping Hand
– Iago – Stompin’ Mad
– Junior Woodchuck Guidebook
– Timothy Q. Mouse – Flight Instructor
– Madam Mim – Tiny Adversary
– Hypnotic Strength
– The Sword of Hercules
– Tinker Bell – Fast Flier
– The White Rose – Jewel of the Garden
– The Library – A Gift for Belle
– Pete – Games Referee
– Iago – Giant Spectral Parrot
– Madam Mim – Elephant
– Mayor Winddancer – Actor-Turned-Politician
– Belle – Accomplished Mystic
– Ursula – Voice Stealer
– Pluto – Steel Champion
– Jasmine – Fearless Princess
– Goliath – Clan Leader
– Tinker Bell – Giant Fairy
Each card on this Amethyst Steel Midrange Deck has a specific role that can make your deck stronger in a very specific meta. For Example, Timothy Q. Mouse – Flight Instructor, Tinker Bell – Fast Flier, and The White Rose – Jewel of the Garden is great to add more speed into your deck for a control heavy meta. While cards like Mayor Winddancer – Actor-Turned-Politician, Madam Mim – Elephant and Tinker Bell – Giant Fairy are great in a midrange meta.
Some cards can also be teched for other specific reasons. A great example of this is Mulan – Disguised Soldier. Mulan can be used as a tech if you decide to run more Uninkable Cards in the deck. It helps you unbrick your hand while providing a filter aspect so you can optimize your hand for the match up you are currently in.
Role in the Meta
One of the most important skills you need in piloting this deck is being able to identify your role in specific match ups. This knowledge is important especially in a very diverse meta. Midrange Decks excels at this, since Midrange most of the time embodies almost all aspects of the other archetypes in the game.
Here’s is how we simplify this:
– Against Control, Midrange is the Aggro Deck.
– Against Aggro, Midrange is the Control Deck.
– Against Midrange, Whoever goes first usually is the taking on the Aggro Role.
If you need help finding out which decks are the Aggro, Midrange, or Control, be sure to check out our Meta Tier List Page on this website.
Blind Mulligan
Since we don’t know what deck we are playing against most of the time, there is a way for this deck to mulligan safely.
For me, here is the most ideal hand that I’m looking for during the mulligan phase.
– Captain Hook – Forceful Duelist
– Palace Guard – Spectral Sentry
– Calhoun – Marine Sergeant
– Lexington – Small in Stature
– Cheshire Cat – Always Grinning
– Strength of a Raging Fire
– Inkable Card (Preferably a Low Cost Card)
These set of cards will give you flexibility. Your Ink decisions will vary based on what card your opponent inks and plays on turn 1. You should be able to Identify what deck they are playing or at least narrow it down on turn 1 or turn 2 at the latest.
Conclusion
That is it for our Amethyst Steel Midrange META Deck Guide. Amethyst Steel is currently one of the best decks in Disney Lorcana at the moment. It is flexible and doesn’t really have a big weakness in the meta. Even against your weakest match in the meta which is Blurple, The winrate gap isn’t so big and very close to 50/50.
It is a deck that excels in Controlling the board and applying pressure during the midgame. It can adjust its gameplan based on what deck you are playing against. Start putting the reps in and while doing so, master the art of when to quest and when to play for the control of the Board.
