exactly like this, i guess; how the hell do you beat this deck? looks insane

@@misterjackpots I don’t know lol 😂…. this deck is crazy

Agreed, the set isnt even out yet ...

Wasn't calling for a ban lol. I love the card. Was just saying the card has the potential for a nerf/ban especially when you are able to cheat it out so easily and how oppressive it has been in testing.

There is a Palpatine ramp with endless legions that is just gross.

@@bryanmathers9160 yeah I can imagine Palpatine green being disgusting. It’s on the to-do list. Have you seen a decent list for that yet?

It’s a blast let me know how it goes !

@@SWUDADthe problem now is getting all the cards for this deck!

@@kevineng4372 yeah this is going to be an expensive one. Poe and Krayt Dragon are going to cost close to $400 just for a play set

Yeah Good Game! Doctor Aphra seems like a sweet leader

Appreciate it! Let me know how it goes

It’s a blast. Let me know how it goes !

@@SpaceBearUnlimited appreciate it!

@@888Blinky appreciate it! From TCGplayer

Thank you ! I really appreciate it !

Yeah especially if it gets more help to cheat it out or get it back from the discard pile

Hope not ever. There is always a way to deal with stuff peeps think they're unable to.

@@joker98lb thanks ! it’s a fun one

It's called Karabast, and it's a server online. You use SWUDB to make the deck, and than upload your decks into Karabast to play against real people to test them out. It's a great place to try things out for free

@@SWUDAD that’s awesome thanks and awesome channel man!!

@@dwiseman50 no problem. appreciate it !

@@ImaITman yeah I think cheating it out early is what makes it crazy before your opponent has any real threats, or If you get 2 of them out there at one time lol

Yeah that seems cool. Keep me posted on what you come up with

Appreciate it! So ramp is a term that means “increasing your resources at a faster pace than your opponent by playing cards in your deck that say “put into play as a resource”. This allows you to play much bigger units at a much earlier turn than normal. The trick of course is being able to survive because super aggressive opponents can beat you as early as turn 3 if you aren’t careful. So you have to have ways to block your opponent and ways to gain life to “stabilize” or get to a place where you can turn the momentum of the game in your favor to than use your bigger units to close the game out

Yeah it really is. Yeah I plan to play it as much as possible before something changes haha. Gar Saxon is on the to-do list !

I may be missing a ruling but wouldn’t the trigger for the dragon happen before the played unit enters the battlefield since it’s a “when played” and make it not as oppressive

@@ryanj1486Units enter the battlefield immediately after being played. There’s no stack like in mtg

@@ryanj14866.2.0F Playing a Card consists of the following 5 steps in order, explained in detail below: Declare intent, Check restrictions, Determine cost(s), Pay cost(s), and Put card into play/discard. After playing the card, resolve any “When Played” abilities on the card and any other abilities that triggered while playing and/or resolving the card, including Ambush and Shielded. See 7.6. Triggered Abilities

I tested against Sabine like 50x. It’s why I added in the 3x sundari peacekeeper. The ability to play that card on turn one and establish Suttle life gain helps you to stabilize. Poe and Wrecker play amazing defense against those decks, and Reinforcement Walker is the stabilizer that closes the game out if Poe and Wrecker don’t do it already. Bright Hope, Echo Base defender and your ambush units help slow things down and take out early threats as well. Your ability to play Poe on turn 2 is insane. Once I got a feel for this deck, and added in the Sundari peacekeepers for consistent early life gain I started to destroy aggro. You can get out reinforcement Walker so easily and aggro just can’t deal with that. Poe and Wrecker help to change the momentum of the games

@@HighCouncilStudios yea there are a lot

@@SWUDAD there's also ramp lol! I finished my first game like 15 minutes before the tourny.

Yea I adjusted the list a little for this very problem. Here is where I am at currently Leader and Base 1 Han Solo, Worth the Risk 1 Energy Conversion Lab // Ground Units 3 Echo Base Defender 3 K-2SO, Cassian's Counterpart 3 Krayt Dragon 3 Modded Cohort 3 Poe Dameron, Quick to Improvise 3 Reckless Gunslinger 3 Reinforcement Walker 3 Sundari Peacekeeper 2 Superlaser Technician 3 Wrecker, BOOM! // Space Units 3 Bright Hope, The Last Transport 2 Consortium StarViper 2 The Marauder, Shuttling the Bad Batch // Events 3 Recruit 3 Resupply 3 Spark of Hope 3 Timely Intervention // Upgrades 3 Price on Your Head // Sideboard 2 Black One, Scourge of Starkiller Base 2 Home One, Alliance Flagship 2 Relentless, Konstantine's Folly 2 Strike True 2 Tech, Source of Insight

Iden Blue Removal is always going to be hard to play against. But you have big units early and ramp to your advantage. Krayt Dragon is literally the control killer. The sideboard is big for that matchup as you are bringing home one, u-wing, black one, and cassian. Another card to consider is “Endless Legion” for those long games. I don’t think hand disruption decks would be too much of a problem. The ability to cheat nuts out really helps. The ramp, card draw with black one and reinforcement Walker. Recruit also helps a lot in a matchup like that. They May slows us down but eventually we will out power them

Test it for yourself and let me know what you find out. I tested it against Sabine like 50x. Once I made the changes of adding in Sundari Peacekeeper for that early life gain I started to destroy Sabine and aggro decks. Sundari combined with Sentinels, plus overpowering aggro with Poe and Wrecker because you get them out quicker is too much for aggro. Reinforcement Walker is so easy to get out in this matchup and it is too much for Sabine/aggro Boba is always going to be a worthy opponent. But what does Boba have that this deck does not have? We have a ton of ramp, we can get our leader out on turn 2 potentially and can often get it out before Boba because we have more ramp. We have very strong Units that we can cheat out, we have ambush with (timely, and ECL), we have life gain, we have card advantage, Poe (one shotting things, destroying upgrades, and taking out weak units) and Wrecker are incredible against Boba, and we have a game ender in Krayt Dragon. We can ramp better than Boba, and our units are strong enough to one shot just about everything in their deck. Poe deals with the upgrades and can play very good defense. If you are worried about Fett's Firespray we have Bright hope to slow it down, and Marauder to finish it off. Recruit helps you find what you need. Cheating out Reinforcement Walker or ambushing it in is very strong in this matchup to get those 6 life gain turns. You could also sideboard in Consortium Starviper as an additional space unit and form of life gain, which was a card that I had in here originally. Han will be tough, but again we are ramping/cheating units out. We ramp just as effectively. We have a lot of early pressure and the ability to get Poe and Wrecker out so early combined with ambushing with ECL/timely is what will help us to turn the corner. They have big units, but we have most of the same ones, and Krayt Dragon as the game ender. Those matchups will likely come down to who is the more skilled player and getting Krayt Dragon out to end the game. Again having 3x recruit really helps us to dig for the right unit when we need it

@@SWUDAD I really like the deck, but Removal, Exhaust and bounce will be a big problem here, right? Especially if we only play 1 unit per turn those can hit pretty hard. And Yellow and Blue are full of those.

@@MrBefaro Yeah absolutely bounce effects are going to be difficult. The good thing about this deck is as the game goes one with Han's ability it will be easier for us to play 2-3 units a turn. I would say Hard control is going to be tough. Especially because we don't have an awesome card like Relentless to deal with them. I would say test those matchups out a bunch. Unfortunately, with being a conent creator I have to move to other decks and am not able to focus on this deck as much as I would like too. I will test them out as well. My thinking is that I would focus more on getting as many cheaper units out as possible to put as much pressure on them as I can. The sideboard is an area that probably needs tweaking for these types of matchups. Emperor's Legion, Cassian, U-Wing, and home One are great, but still could use some improvement. Blue has way too many removal spells now IMO

Yeah that line of play would have worked too. I just really wanted to play Krayt Dragon. Also the waylay didn’t trigger Krayt Dragon’s ability which it should have. So I would have won with an attack from marauder after the 3 damage from waylay to the base that same turn

@@vitev009 Reckless Gunslinger ability still does. The Landspeeder’s ability still triggers too, but Han’s ability has to finish which is why the Landspeeder doesn’t work because it’s out of play and can’t switch sides. They talked about this on their FFG comprehensive rules update from yesterday. It’s on KZfaq if you want to check it out

I would assume he plays super laser tech because with Han’s ability it’s only four resources and then instantly dies becoming a resource. It essentially functions then as a one resource more expensive resuply

@@skylerorton2058 this ☝️..I explain all of the ramp cards in the video. SLT is very good in here though The odds of hitting cards at 51 are 5.88% vs 50 cards are 6.0% . So very little difference. A lot of times early in testing I will put 51 cards in to have 3 of everything. As I test a deck more and more I am able to weed out certain cards that are not not necessary and finalize the list more and more as the meta develops. The sideboard is a complete rough draft

Hey what’s up man. Yeah gg. I hear that. I didn’t ramp that game much, but How did it feel playing against this ?

Yea hard control is definitely going to be a struggle. I can't believe blue got 3 more great pieces of removal this set. It's almost too much. Honestly, it makes feel like Relentless might be a 3 of in the sideboard because you cheat it in earlier at 10 resources, or maybe just going more aggressively with some cheaper units for that matchup. Need to test it out a lot more that's for sure.

@SWUDAD I'm playing it more midrange, control leaning. Just running enough hard removal to maintain tempo over the game. Feels absurd. Boba still an unreasonably strong leader with him flipping on 5 with bonkers stats.

@@Drakenks Boba Blue is definitely on my to do list for decks for this set? What is the list you used recently?

I have updated the list a little since this video to address weakness in space, and the aggro matchup has felt even better. The aggro matchup takes a lot of play testing. I tested it like 50x before making the original video. Sundari Peacekeeper and now "Consortium Starviper" are very important early to stabilize. You are using Poe and Wrecker to play defense and turn the momentum of the game as you work towards Reinforcement Walker to close the game out as well as stabilize. You are not really trying to play the dragon in the aggro matchup. You are taking the dragon out in Bo3 and bringing in "Strike True, and Overwhelming Barrage". Once you get a good amount of reps and get into a good rhythm with the deck than this matchup feels good and becomes very winnable. Hope that helps! Updated list below Leader and Base 1 Han Solo, Worth the Risk 1 Energy Conversion Lab // Ground Units 3 Echo Base Defender 3 K-2SO, Cassian's Counterpart 3 Krayt Dragon 3 Modded Cohort 3 Poe Dameron, Quick to Improvise 3 Reckless Gunslinger 3 Reinforcement Walker 3 Sundari Peacekeeper 2 Superlaser Technician 3 Wrecker, BOOM! // Space Units 3 Bright Hope, The Last Transport 2 Consortium StarViper 2 The Marauder, Shuttling the Bad Batch // Events 3 Recruit 3 Resupply 3 Spark of Hope 3 Timely Intervention // Upgrades 3 Price on Your Head // Sideboard 2 Black One, Scourge of Starkiller Base 2 Home One, Alliance Flagship 2 Overwhelming Barrage 2 Relentless, Konstantine's Folly 2 Strike True

Yeah it’s called “Karabast” . A free place to try out decks online

Life saver! Thank you so much 😭

@@jamesmehlman719 no problem !

Palpatine would be tough. I would just focus on being lower to the ground and using Poe, and Wrecker . Probably would be very careful of when to play Krayt Dragon especially against yellow Palp. Other palps just careful about palp flip turn

I was using Karabast. It’s a free place to try out cards

That would he 16 resources in here. Which even for this deck is a lot

@@SWUDAD yeah if playing a hard control deck it could be possible

@@theorkinquisitor yeah could be. Sideboard is a big question mark right now

Appreciate it! It’s a blast ☝️

Yes, but with Han’s ability you can cheat it out on 4 resource turn. It immediately dies and becomes a resource because of Han’s ability I explain how all the ramp works in the video. It’s very good in this deck

@SWUDAD nice play and a nice deck.

@@dariotimothy appreciate it !

Maybe I misunderstood but I thought it didn’t work like that with the ruling?

@@SWUDAD thats how a lot of people in the orlando area think it is. I could be wrong but the stolen landspeeder is from the han solo movie so it would make sense to work with the han solo thats from solo a star wars story

@@gabrielhubbard1977 it doesn't work like that. Confirmed by Ryan during the last stream on Wednesday

It does not work this way

😂😂
