Ursula's Return Starter Deck Overview
Disney Lorcana Starter Decks typically have two reasons to be purchased:
- You could be looking for something to play with your friends and family without the need to collect cards and build a deck yourself.
- You see potential value in some cards included in a Starter Deck, making it cheaper to buy rather than purchasing each card individually or hoping to pull them from Booster Packs.
You could add a third reason, which is to test a synergy you want to play, but can't afford to invest hundreds of dollars into without testing it. If that is the case, a Starter Deck obviously won't give you the full potential of said synergy, but you can at least get an idea of how the gameplay feels, or whether certain cards are the building blocks you thought they were.
For Ursula's Return, the Starter Decks are focused around two synergies. The Amber Amethyst deck features the Madrigal family, alongside a couple of interesting standalone cards. Sapphire Steel is built around the Hero synergy, one I actually think has potential, but more in the Amber Steel deck.
Overall, I think the Amber Amethyst deck has a better standalone inclusion, and would recommend it to someone buying mostly to acquire certain cards. On the other hand, the Sapphire Steel deck is pretty cohesive already, even if most key cards will only have one copy included. Together, the Starter Deck pair for Ursula's Return represent a nice balance for each kind of player, and look like a nice investment to get started with this new set.
