'''Emerald''' is one of the six [[ink]] colors in ''[[Disney Lorcana]]''. It is represented by a green droplet icon. Emerald focuses on disruption, stealing resources, and hand manipulation. Emerald decks aim to out‑maneuver opponents by denying them options and gaining incremental advantages.

== Philosophy and playstyle ==
Emerald is the color of cunning, trickery, and agility. In gameplay terms, Emerald excels at:
* ''Hand disruption'' – Making opponents discard cards or revealing their hand.
* ''Theft'' – Taking control of opponent’s cards or gaining Lore from their actions.
* ''Evasive'' – Emerald shares the Evasive keyword, making its characters hard to block.
* ''Tempo'' – Emerald characters often have low cost and high agility, allowing for fast starts.
* ''Location synergy'' – Some Emerald cards benefit from moving between Locations.

Emerald is often paired with '''Steel''' for aggressive midrange decks, or with '''Ruby''' for tempo‑control strategies.

== Signature keywords ==
* '''Evasive''' – Shared with Ruby and Amethyst, prevents non‑Evasive characters from challenging.
* '''Theft''' – Not a keyword, but a common theme: gaining Lore when opponents do something, or taking their cards.

== Emerald in the metagame ==
Emerald has been a niche but powerful color, often appearing in aggressive “aggro” decks paired with Steel or Ruby. The “Emerald/Steel discard” archetype aims to empty the opponent’s hand while applying pressure. Emerald’s Evasive characters are also popular in tempo decks.

== Trivia ==
* Emerald’s ink droplet icon is a stylized green drop with a sly, curved shine.
* The color’s philosophy is inspired by the jungle and the emotion of envy.
* Emerald has the most cards that interact with the opponent’s hand.
