Disney Lorcana: Shimmering Skies Emerald & Steel Starter Deck
Disney Lorcana: Shimmering Skies' Emerald and Steel Starter Deck features Scar from The Lion King and Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove on the box and on the foil cards included inside. Both movies are prominent in this deck, but The Lion King gets the majority with 2 two different Shenzi cards, Banzai, Scar, two different Simba cards, two different Ed cards, and Zazu making up a large portion of the included cards. Mainstays like Robin Hood get multiple cards, and Pete and Heihei can be found within, too.
The Emerald/Steel Starter Deck for Shimmering Skies is all about combos. For anyone who enjoys maximizing damage, this might just be the ideal deck. Shenzi - Head Hyena is a highlight, since this card's ability, What Have We Got Here?, gains 2 Lore every time a hyena card challenges a damaged character. She also gets +1 Strength for every hyena in play. Considering how many hyena cards are in this deck, there's a ton of potential here.
The two featured cards on the box, however, are more about helping out the player. Kronk - Head of Security will let the player move a character with a cost of 5 or less into play for free whenever Kronk banishes a character. Scar - Vengeful Lion lets the player draw a card whenever a character challenges an opponent's character that is already damaged. These certainly have their uses, but I found the "overwhelm an opponent with hyena cards" strategy to be pretty useful (and fun).
