Into the Inklands Emerald/Amber Starter Deck & Upgrades

Welcome back to another episode! Today we're going over the other starter deck from Into the Inklands - Emerald/Amber. As always, we give our opinion on how we thought it played out as-is, then give you all two different ways to upgrade this deck. If you happen to try either upgrade out on your own, give us a shout for what you thought of it!

Into the Inklands is...FINALLY HERE!!!!

Happy Release Day, everyone! We're switching things up with our set review of grading the new cards, so come check it out and let us know how we did!

Locations, Locations, Locations!

EDIT: When this episode was recorded, we were misinformed about how gaining lore worked with locations and misspoke during the episode. Please note that lore is not gained whenever characters move to a location, unless their card specifically states so. 
 
We're finally talking about the biggest introduced concept coming out with set 3.....LOCATIONS! How do they work? How do we think they will impact the game? Which ones do we have our eye on? All those questions answered and more in this episode. So go on and give it a listen!

Building an Unconventional Deck!!

Today we're challenging the status quo and building an unconventional deck right on the fly with you all! We're using a color combo that isn't typically seen, but we're going to try our best to figure out the best archetype and gameplan for it! Stay tuned for a complimentary video where we'll be testing this out to see if it's viable against the current meta...

Let's Get Hype for Competitive Play!!

This week we talk about some pretty big announcements recently made regarding Lorcana TCG Gateway, a competitive tournament layout, and much more! Now that official competitive play has been announced, are we going to see card rotation or bans? If so, what cards could we see getting banned and why? Tune in to find out! 

Has Dalton Finally Cracked the Code to the Items Deck?!

Thanks for hanging out with us for another episode of the Inkwell Gamers Podcast! Today we talk about two large tournaments from this past weekend, which includes an emergence of decks that aren't all Ruby-Amethyst or Steel-Song (whaaaaattt?!). We also talk about how Dana is salty that Dalton came back and got 18 lore in one turn to beat her with his item deck. What does this mysterious item deck consist of? Would he make any changes to it and if so, what would they be? Listen to hear us talk all about it!Dreamborn link: https://dreamborn.ink/decks/EKDnz884rVC5oWJEu2AY
