In this episode of Quest Like a Pro, we dive deep into the current state of Ruby/Sapphire in Set 7.

Once the deck of Set 6, Ruby/Sapphire 🔴🔵 has taken a back seat in early Set 7 to Sapphire/Steel 🔵⚪️ — but that shifted post-CCS.

We explore what’s behind the resurgence, how recent tournaments are shaping deck choices, and whether Ruby/Sapphire still has what it takes to compete at the top tables.

Topics we cover:

• The rise, fall, and return of Ruby/Sapphire in the current meta
• How new Set 7 cards have opened up fresh build paths
• Evaluating high skill-cap lists vs. item-heavy builds
• Is there still a place for Ice Block—especially alongside Coil?
• Live tweaks to a winning deck list and what we’d change
• Matchup thoughts, play patterns, and in-game strategy tips

This episode is packed with practical insights for players looking to build, refine, or counter Ruby/Sapphire decks in today’s meta.
