Tinker Bell - Giant Fairy (x2)
Jafar - Striking Illusionist (x4)
Jafar New World’s overarching strategy is to maintain board control and disrupt your opponent’s lore generation while slowly building your lore advantage. The early game moves are designed to steadily build your hand to expand your strategic options. Cards like Chernabog’s Followers - Creatures of Evil and Diablo - Obedient Raven provide a strong foundation by helping you draw additional cards and prepare for mid-game transitions.
As the game progresses, the deck’s focus pivots to more aggressive board control. By banishing opposing characters, you limit your opponent’s ability to generate lore and disrupt their strategy. Meanwhile, Belle - Accomplished Mystic plays a crucial role in sustaining your presence on the board, leveraging Enhanced Healing to keep your heavy hitters in play longer.

Rapunzel - Gifted with Healing (x2)
Ariel - Sonic Warrior (x3)
Cinderella - Stouthearted (x3)
Timing is crucial in this aggressive deck, as it revolves around quickly ramping up the inkwell andshifting your charactersinto their stronger forms as soon as possible. Cards like Simba - Pride Protector and Robin Hood - Champion of Sherwood are pivotal to this strategy, providing powerful on-board threats that can overwhelm your opponent if played early.
In addition to focusing on high-impact characters, your song selection plays an essential role in amplifying the deck’s aggression. The songs deal additional damage, pushing your opponent toward defeat more rapidly. But beyond just dealing damage, the song I’m Still Here offers a strategic advantage by boosting the durability of your key characters, especially when paired with Rapunzel - Gifted with Healing.
Strength of a Raging Fire (x4)
Ursula - Vanessa (x4)
Rapunzel - Gifted with Healing (x4)
Cinderella - Stouthearted (x2)
While many competitive decks are moving away from relying on songs, the Steelsong deck takes the opposite approach, doubling down on their power… and it’s paying off. Cruz Clark demonstrated its effectiveness by securing 8th place at the QwestKC $1K Tournament on May 13, 2025. Notably, this deck features only song and character cards, emphasizing synergy and strategic song usage.
The carefully selected characters are the backbone of the deck, each either reducing the cost of songs or amplifying their effects. Cards like Ursula - Vanessa and Gaston - Baratone Bully provide opportunitiesto cast powerful songsearlier or more often, creating a steady rhythm of disruption and advantage.
The end-game strategy hinges on Cinderella - Stouthearted, whose ability to challenge any ready character after singing a song makes her a devastating closer. Paired with the deck’s arsenal of songs, most of which deal damage or banish opposing characters, Cinderella can deliver crushing blows to your opponent’s board every turn.
Brawl (x4)
Merlin - Crab (x2)
Merlin - Goat (x4)
Merlin - Rabbit (x2)
Maui - Hero to All (x2)
Madame Medusa - The Boss (x2)
Sisu - Empowered Sibling (x1)
This deck thrives on balancing two distinct play cycles for optimal success. The first revolves around a bounce cycle, leveraging the classic synergy between Madam Mim and Merlin. Merlin’s cards are designed to shine when he leaves play, offering buffs, drawing cards, or generating lore. Madam Mim’s ability to bounce characters back into your hand ensures Merlin’s abilities are consistently triggered, creating a loop of utility and advantage.
The second strategy focuses on banishment abilities to control the field. Many cards outside the bounce cycle are dedicated to banishing your opponent’s characters, crippling their ability to generate lore or challenge your own. This strategy begins early with Flynn Rider - Frenemy, who can banish an opponent’s character if you control one with higher willpower. It escalates with powerful late-game options like Madame Medusa - The Boss and Sisu - Empowered Sibling, who reinforce this theme by clearing the board of threats while securing your path to victory.
Friends on the Other Side (x4)
Befuddle (x3)
Elsa - Spirit of Winter (x2)
Merlin - Crab (x4)
Merlin - Rabbit (x1)
Baymax - Armored Companion (x2)
Hades - Infernal Schemer (x3)
Blurple Crush blends a bouncing strategy with aggressive tactics, keeping your opponent constantly on their toes. The core of this deck revolves around Merlin’s unique abilities, which trigger when he leaves play. These effects include drawing cards, gaining lore, or buffing other characters, offering incredible value each time Merlin cycles through the game. This synergy is enhanced by Madam Mim, whose ability to bounce characters facilitates the repeated use of Merlin’s skills, creating a dynamic and disruptive gameplay loop.
As you capitalize on this play cycle, you can prepare your heavy hitters like Hades - Infernal Schemer and Elsa - Spirit of Winter. These powerhouse characters serve dual purposes: they can either quest for lore to accelerate your path to victory or dominate the field by eliminating your opponent’s key characters.

Hypnotize (x3)
Ursula - Deceiver of All (x4)
The Muses - Proclaimers of Heroes (x2)
Beast - Tragic Hero (x4)
This deck offers a flexible and competitive approach, designed to disrupt your opponent’s strategy while dealing significant damage. Nearly every character card in the deck comes with an additional effect that forces your opponent to discard cards or bounce characters off the board. Key players like Honey Lemon - Chemical Genius, Mother Gothel - Conceited Manipulator, and The Muses - Proclaimers of Heroes provide consistent disruption, keeping your opponent on the back foot.
This deck ranked fourth in the Top Choice Gaming Triple Case on June 03, 2025.
The deck’s standout twist lies with Ursula - Deceiver of All. Despite the deck’s name, it omits the typical two-ink version of Ursula. Instead, her usual role has been reassigned to Honey Lemon - Chemical Genius.According to Andrei A, this shift reflects the current meta, where decks are moving away from song-heavy builds, and players have become adept at countering Ursula - Deceiver. Honey Lemon offers a fresh approach, bringing similar utility while fitting better into this deck’s updated strategy.
Robin Hood - Champion of Sherwood (x4)
This aggressive deck is designed to inflict a series of small damages, all while building your inkwell. The deck relies heavily on shifting, allowing you to quickly bring out heavy-hitters like Simba - Pride Protector and Robin Hood - Champion of Sherwood to overwhelm your opponent’s defenses. The deck’s strategy revolves around speed and pressure, ensuring that your opponent is always on the defensive.
To support this aggressive playstyle, the song selection is key. The songs not only deal additional damage, pushing your opponent closer to defeat, but they also force your opponent to discard valuable cards. This dual purpose weakens their position by removing key cards from their hand and limiting their options in subsequent turns.
AS Aggro won first place in the QwestKC $1k Tournament on July 13, 2025.
In addition to the songs, characters like Cinderella - Ballroom Sensation and Ariel - Spectacular Singer provide further synergy with your song-based strategy. These cards allow you to trigger your songs more frequently, amplifying the damage output and maintaining pressure on your opponent.
Vision of the Future (x4)
Pawpsicle (x4)
Vitalisphere (x2)
Maui - Half-Shark (x3)
Tamatoa - So Shiny! (x4)
Maleficent - Monstrous Dragon (x2)
The RB No Quill deck is a versatile and well-rounded option, offering the flexibility to adapt to your opponent’s strategy while maintaining a strong presence on the board. Field control is a cornerstone of this deck, with powerful cards like Madame Medusa - The Boss, Sisu - Daring Visitor, and Maleficent - Monstrous Dragon allowing you to banish your opponent’s characters and neutralize their threats.
The RB No Quill deck placed sixth in the Sunday Set 6 Mega Illumineer’s Cup on June 13, 2025.
While controlling the field, the deck simultaneously excels at generating lore. Cards like Maui - Half-Shark, A Pirate’s Life, and Tamatoa - So Shiny! provide quick and effective ways to accumulate lore and secure an advantage. Tamatoa - So Shiny! is particularly noteworthy, as the deck includes ahigher number of item cardsthan most competitive builds. This not only enhances your ability to buff characters but also synergizes perfectly with Tamatoa’s ability, generating one lore for each item in play.
Thievery (x3)
Gathering Knowledge and Wisdom (x4)
Tinker Bell - Queen of the Azurite Fairies (x2)
Genie - Main Attraction (x1)
This deck is built around two central strategies: limiting your opponent’s abilities and reducing damage to your own characters. Unlike decks that focus on eliminating threats through combat, this one emphasizes gaining lore efficiently, creating a steady path to victory while maintaining board control.
The songs Thievery and A Pirate’s Life are pivotal to the strategy, allowing you to steal lore directly from your opponent and add it to your pool. These powerful cards are complemented by characters like Isabela Madrigal - Golden Child,Tinker Bell - Queen of the Azurite Fairies, and Tigger - In the Crow’s Nest, who contribute to lore buffs.
The key to mastering this deck is balancing these elements. Protect your lore generators like Isabela and Tigger, use your songs strategically to maximize their impact, andleverage your Evasive charactersto safeguard your position while keeping offensive options available.
