What strategies have you used to take down Ruby Amethyst?

I run a Sapphire Amethyst Ramp Control deck and found it to be pretty successful against Ruby Amethyst Control. You hit your stride much quicker because of your ramp and your cheaper but still strong removal cards.

Sudden Chill, I could see it being part of an Emerald/Steel deck in Chapter 2, with Cinderella (Steel) getting the ability to attack Ready characters after a Song is played then a cheap 2 song could make Cinderella (Steel) but some instant pressure on Turn 5.

I play 4x Beast, which helps take care of their items. At a big tournament where I expect a lot of ruby amethyst, I would probably throw in 1 Break, as I can ink it if it's not useful.

I built Amber Steel and I think it's just a bad matchup no matter how I play it. Last time I played it he just passed for 7 turns, set up magic mirror to top up his hand, dropped Be Prepared turn 7, Elsa turn 8, Maleficent dragon turn 9 etc. Nothing I could do. I play the midrange version rather than the aggro one, so I'll never be winning by turn 7
