In this episode of Quest Like a Pro, Noah, Andy, and Justin are joined by fellow Purple Shadow Gaming teammates Lucas, Zach, and Corbin for a full table breakdown of recent Lorcana tournaments — including PPG and CCQ events. The crew dives into the current meta, sharing what’s working (and what’s not), how different archetypes like Amber Steel and Blurple are holding up, and what they’re tweaking ahead of the next big tournaments.
From fatigue with predictable matchups to new experimentation with speed and synergy, this episode explores whether the meta is evolving — or just cycling in disguise. If you’ve felt stuck in your testing or want to hear what real grinders are seeing at tables across the region, this one’s for you.
Key Takeaways:
🌀 The meta feels stale in some ways, prompting deckbuilders to think differently.
⚔️ Amber Steel and Purple Steel remain top-tier, but new versions are emerging.
🧠 Matchup-specific strategy is more important than ever — you can’t just play “the best deck.”
🧪 Deck speed matters. Slower decks are getting punished.
🧩 RNG and draw sequencing continue to create swingy moments — knowing your deck’s range helps.
🔁 Adapting to cycles in competitive play is a key to long-term improvement.
📦 Preparation for the DLC is in full swing — with players testing tech cards and matchup swaps.
