We still have a few weeks left in the Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter, and so it’s appropriate that we highlight one of the strongest Lorcana decks in current format: the Amber/Sapphire deck.

This particular Amber/Sapphire deck performed very well at a large, in person tournament lately. In this guide, we’ll be sharing the Amber/Sapphire deck list you can use, and give some pointers on its strategy, and the key cards that make it work.

Amber/Sapphire Deck – Basic Strategy

Personally I’m a big fan of this deck. In a Lorcana meta filled with decks that do just one thing really well (and over and over again), this deck is super well rounded. It’s got solid resist capabilities thanks to Cogsworth, excellent draw support, solid board clearing thanks to Let it Go and Hades, and arguably the best quester in the game: Alice – Growing Girl.

Here’s how to use this powerful deck to conquer your next tournament.

Play The Queen early, then either shift her into The Queen – Commanding Presence or defend her with Simba.
Start building up your resist – either sing for Four Dozen Eggs or get Cogsworth – Grandfather Clock into play ASAP to start adding extra defense to your characters.
Use a combination of Four Dozen Eggs and the Queen’s “Who is the Fairest” ability to wipe out your opponent’s characters in challenges without taking any damage.
Also pair The Queen’s ability with Alice to power her up all the way to start taking five lore each time she quests.

Amber/Sapphire Deck – Key Cards

This deck has some pretty insane cards in it, but we’ll highlight just a handful that really make it tick.

Rapunzel – Gifted with Healing

Rapunzel is a must in any Amber deck. She’s one of the best cards in Disney Lorcana right now, and delivers an unbeatable combo of damage heal and draw support that makes her worth her current price tag.

The Queen – Commanding Presence

The Queen is the backbone of your deck. You need her to grant your characters extra strength while reducing the damage they take, while she also acts as the only way you can power up Alice to start questing for some serious lore.

Alice – Growing Girl

Alice works really well when paired with The Queen’s “Who is the Fairest” ability. All you need is one other character to have quested in addition to the queen and you can use Alice to quest for five lore.

Hades – Infernal Schemer

Hades is a really strong card, and gives you a lot of options to counter your opponent.

Amber/Sapphire – Strengths and Weaknesses

This deck is incredibly well rounded. That being said, it doesn’t do any one thing exceptionally well, which opens up a few weaknesses. Early on, you could find it hard to fend off a particularly aggressive deck as Amber/Sapphire needs a little bit of time to get going with its higher questing card (that being Alice). At the same time, late game you could find it hard to keep up with the more dominate control decks.

That being said, as far as midrange decks go, Amber/Sapphire is incredibly reliable, and likely to be seeing a lot of play as the current meta progresses.
