I have a bit of a goofy Sapphire Steel list for this one. I call it Kit Candy, it just uses Kit Cloudkicker and King Candy shift lines to sing GYS early. It works surprisingly well, its mostly just built to deal with the abundance of Aggro and Green/Steel in my local scene. I'm also just not very good at piloting a more standard blue/steel list. This seems to click for me way better
@somerandomfilodude Yes! This is the current version: 2 Lucky Dime 2 Rise of the Titans 3 Pete - Games Referee 4 Tipo - Growing Son 2 Fire the Cannons! 2 Let it Go 4 A Whole New World 4 King Candy - Sweet Abomination 4 Kit Cloudkicker - Spunky Bear Cub 4 Fishbone Quill 4 Kit Cloudkicker - Navigator 2 Smash 4 King Candy - Sovereign of Sugar 4 Grab Your Sword 4 Pawpsicle 4 Hiram Flaversham - Toymaker 3 Ariel - Treasure Collector 4 Fortisphere
I don't usually comment on videos, but I ran your blue steel list today for set champs (minus 1 Arges) and went undefeated. Second time ever top cutting, first time ever winning. Been grinding this color combo for a while and the advice has been invaluable. Just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you :) I still prefere hook because there is more hyper aggro than RP around me and the cap keeps making me win 2-0 when i have it on the board again than insane lore rush x) I saw you cut belle, i did it too. That's not here time actually.
This is a great list! I think my store is mainly aggro and red blue, any tips or techs going into both matchups? Feel like I’m always on the back foot against both as soon as I swap cards out to deal with the other 😅
@@harlansweete solid advice, I always feel I tech too hard and lose other matchups lol. Any tips on what to swap out for Hooks? Having a hard time fitting him in, but thank you so much!
Played 25 yesterday. I like the other deck. Played well. Got top 8. Sardine Can worked well yesterday against green/steel and red/purple. I play a couple hide away and flatte em. Why Rise instead of Hide Away? 3 cost vs 2 cost.
Majority of my RP games are 2:0 yea. You can still be outskiled or brick but it should be alright. I do have some vids but can cover them again if needed!
I’m still on the single tipo with 2 arges. I honestly don’t know why though. Not sure when I should be keeping that single tipo in my opening hand. Should I just go to 3 arges instead? I’m running 3 mickeys as well
Thanks. So what matchups would I want to keep my 1 tipo in? I know you mentioned doing it against a discard deck so you could setup Hiram on turn 3. Is that it?
A while ago I commented that your deck was clunky and that you were running lots of seemingly suboptimal 1 and 2 counts of certain cards. I’m glad you’ve condensed your list more. Only a few cards in here are tech cards now, and you seem to have a solid game plan. It takes a lot of brainstorming to conclude that automatic 4 ofs like Tamatoa etc actually are suboptimal and should be trimmed down for more important things. So well done to you for figuring out the direction you wanted to take, and good luck at champs 👍
whenever i think : i want to watch a harlan video , there you are with a new video

Super useful thank you! ❤
best of luck mate! thanks for the vid
I think you should play hyper aggro
Definitely

I think only hook can help you but it might just be good to stick with a solid list and not tech. :)

You should be running the 7 drop hades, while the Medusa counts are low in rs control decks
@@6thface i think there might be more medusa mate. With diablo.

rise is for locations and giving RP ramp is just a negative situation as they get closer to goat bouncing or BP
@harlansweete You frequently mention that you 2-0 RP.
Do you have a guide for this matchup or a breakdown of how you navigate this matchup for 2-0s?
Majority of my RP games are 2:0 yea. You can still be outskiled or brick but it should be alright. I do have some vids but can cover them again if needed!
@@harlansweete If its already covered in a previous video for set 5 then I would gladly take a look at that vid. Got a link?
@@CeaseTCG I have done some in the past but can do a refersher

@@Aelin777 I went to 3 arges as I just don't wanna miss t2. The 1 tipo was to keep uninks down and have a good chance for t2 ramp.
Thanks. So what matchups would I want to keep my 1 tipo in? I know you mentioned doing it against a discard deck so you could setup Hiram on turn 3. Is that it?
@@Aelin777 it can just be your ramp option. Works similar to mickey but ontop of that, it can do some quirk stuff vs discard like t3 hiram
Thanks!
Why no Zeus?
Just doesn't answer much in this meta
@@harlansweete it answers locations when your board is, for example, just cogsworth + pete
@@darrenhazelden2340 its still playable. Just for me it doesn't do enough work
