The core gimmick of the deck is its item cards, which can be banished to trigger increasingly powerful effects on other cards
11 10 Into The Inklands - Plenty Of Pluck - Ruby Sapphire Only two cards in this entire deck ended up becoming playable in the meta during Into the Inklands, and even then, one of them - Maui's Fish Hook - only appeared in some Ruby/Amethyst lists, but not all
The main schtick of the deck is Inventors, a classification shared by a decent chunk of its cards
Two copies of Dragon Fire from a dwindling Set 1 are a bonus and Mauis Fish Hook is seeing inclusion in early drafts for Set 4 Ruby/Amethyst decks
What is known as the Merlin and Mim Bounce Package is an auto-include for nearly every top-performing Amethyst deck
Amethyst and Steel may feature some fantastic cards, but its lack of beefy characters means it may struggle against other starter decks
