I was just thinking last night about how there are Green/Yellow/Double Red versions of Sabine but I haven't seen a Blue version. Perfect timing with your video!

I can believe space leaders in set 4. I also wonder if Planet will be a new card type. Sets 1-3 was intended as the baseline. Time to start shaking things up

felt great buying IG88 showcase for $100, IG88 is so underrated, my IG88 green trooper themed deck is so fun to play, 1st turn: benthic, deathstar, 2nd turn: (8 damage) deathstar, tagge, 3rd turn academy training, lieutenant (20 damage) ~ thats 28 damage total on turn 3

And so we begin anew. Lol, great card and great card review

Great idea- FUN Deck Fridays!!🎉🎉 Looking forward to next Friday!!

Agree about jump to lightspeed. Really excited to see if that's the case. What do you think about Legends of the Force? Dipping into Legends (formerly EU) material, or just Legendary force users from Canon?

The big question is, of course: do coordinate and/or token units make IG88 meta😁😁

I cant believe we are already getting more of these card announcements when they just released set 2 lol

Ruling question! So if i capture opponents village protector, then my next action is Dryden to "play" the village protectors, do the village protectors come in shielded since they are also a when played give this unit a shield???

Great video! I won a 50 person Showdown (6-0) last week using Sabine Green. I definitely believe Green is currently the strongest variant. My list runs 3 Timely Intervention, 3 Sundari Peacekeeper, and 2 Darksaber. It combines the best of the Rebels with some Mandalorians. Timely Intervention provides much needed ambush flexibility. I used it several times to take care of small pesky units (such as Lurking Tie Phantom), and allows me to save ECL for Poe or Wrecker. The Peacekeepers are difficult to defeat, provide healing, and synergize with the Darksaber. I won several games against other aggro decks due to the Peacekeeper's healing (just 2 or 4 healing can swing a game). Lastly, Darksaber is just too powerful not to include. Opponents that don't deal with it within a turn will usually lose. Like you said, they can play around it, but we can anticipate this. I don't play it if I predict an immediate answer. I love having so many options for the flip turn, and I also built my deck to not rely on the Darksaber. Anyways, keep up the great content!

i think the red deck wants some number of heroic resolve. also really not a fan of the y-wing, i think that card's just bad

Good video TNN. -Loopee

I've played a lot with Sabine Green and Timely Intervention has been a hit for me. I had several games when I had to use the ECL on an early threat and ability to ambush Wrecker and Poe later in the game just for 1 resource was a big hit for me (or using smuggle which is also good when I get Timely Intervention in opening hand). I disliked medal ceremony, as in most of my games I could only buff one unit because other units were dying. I am thinking of changing a deck a little bit changing Medal Ceremony to Timely Interventions - I know it makes For a Cause I Believe In slightly worse, but I think the tradeoff is really worth it. I've been thinking also on playing Ketsu Onyo instead of Sabine Wren, as Saboteur and killing off small upgrades (as well as shield) seems to be more impactful in the current meta. Let me know what do you think!

Can you do a Sabine Blue????

HES BACK🎉

What about blue Sabine with Mando tribal and darksaber?

Poe and Wrecker ECL are way too much to deal with after the Sabine flip turn. If you dont have the perfect out, I dont see how you can beat it. Poe ECL is way too much overpowered. Even without ECL its super strong, it can hit for 11 with a surprise strike the next turn...

I like the 1-of saber in sabine just because its ceiling is so high. Timely- i do think this card is good in sabine not for the 5/6 drops but for the 4 drops. Turning K2 into an ambusher after ECL is used or dodonna to removal for a cheap ground sentinel so your other units can push dmg is sweet. I really like the saboteur ship in space. Just going around system patrol crafts and bright hopes is hilarious and 5 damage is huge for a single unit in space. You have to go up to firespray to see that output. In green you can even set it up with wrecker. Green just has so many angles of attack its really hard to play around. The only problem i ever saw in set one with green is after the cut. The other decks that werent sabine in the cut often were feeding on sabine decks to get there so it was an uphill to get the win.

Thank you! Definitely want to continue running Sabine, and started modding it to improve, so this is great! I was running yellow, but thinking of switch back to green... What do you think of a more Mando focused Green Sabine, with Ketsu Onyo, Sendari Peacekeeper, and even Nite Owl Skirmisher? This could help improve the Darksaber's hit rate. Obviously you don't get the Rebel synergy, but I feel there are already a lot of non-Rebels in there...

I think Dark Saber slots well into Red Sabine since it has the potential of buffing Bo while also not mattering for FACIBI anyways. In particular, it could either sideboard in for Medal Ceremony in your list or vice versa. It's a trap to move away from Rebel synergy towards Mandalorian synergy just because of Dark Saber, I agree with you that it's definitely about the 7 damage to the base. What are your thoughts on Heroic Sacrifice? For 1 resource it can give the same attack buff that Dark Saber does, with the downside of only getting one hit in with it. The upside is getting to work with three other resources on the flip turn and potentially holding off on the ability for a turn or two to get more value out of it.

did not test too muich with sabine but from what ive learned sabine green seems to be the best option right now. Only reason is being able to ecl out wrecker or poe is such a strong play. havent had much success with any other colors for now but there might be something in sabine yellow with a more tempo oriented build as well

I'm currently trying to figure out what to play, something that I like, is reasonably good, and not too expensive, and these look interesting. Will give them a shot. The first deck link points to a rey deck, though. Wrong link?

This leader got a lot of nice buff!

thank you for explaining in detail... most content out there assumes you already know how it works

odd that they would still do damage if you attack it.

Appreciate your content.. any update on this for set two? Or is it no longer an effective deck?

I kind of like Kylo in this deck too. He can just add more exp and giving +2 really helps finish the game

Great video- great for those of us new to Star Wars Bb

A question that came up in a weekly play: Does the unit that you play go back to your hand, even if it is defeated? That means from your dicard pile? There is no condition like "if it is still im play"... 🤔

Question: Does "giving an Experience" count as "play an upgrade"? Because if does, then you can activate The Mandalorian leader skill.

this doesn’t ignore exhausted units though? they have to be ready?

First deck I built with SHD! Great minds….

Would damage and upgrades carry over?

They need to make non hero and villain leader and make hero and villain bases. Hando should not be villainy; he should be Command and Cunning. He's not a good guy or a bad guy, that’s why he should have either of those aspects. To compensate for this, they could make bases that are only heroism or villainy. Exegol and Ahch-To are good examples of hero and villain bases. The force cave on Dagobah and the kyber crystal caves on Illum could be those type of bases too. Tho I think it could be interesting to build a deck with no hero or villainy aspects on the leader or base.

How can I replicate this but without Poe Dameron? Hes out of my price range

No R2 is not common in a Rey deck ^^

Rey is awesome, glad to have a showcase version

Expect this to get errata'd pretty fast. FFG has a history of killing game-breaking combos that piss off and drive away serious players pretty quickly after discovery. And this is indeed a combo that will hurt the competitive viability of the game. They will likely rule that DJ only gets his full effect if he was played under his own printed instance of Smuggle, not any other versions. Or they'll outright ban either DJ or Tech from competitive play, but given their history, they'll do the former long before they resort to the latter.

What about Kylo Ren in this deck? You can ignore his villainy aspect. He can pump up every unit in the deck with +2 and an experience token. Then again I’m not sure what you’d take out.

Rey? The first big SotG build is Fake Han Green.

Im really liking rey red. I think cantina braggart is sneaky good in it. A 3/4 when attack on turn 1 seems good to me

Deck feels really good, one of the things I disliked in my testings of this particular version is the absence of Daring Raid, without it, Tarkintown feels really bad. You have to either swing into something, or finish off something that already killed one of your units. So you have this very feel bad moment of constantly be using the action to kill stuff that already killed one of your things, and that only had like a single point of life left. With Daring Raid you can kill 5 health stuff really cleanly for a single resource. Deck is overall solid though, I think it's just a matter of optimizing it from now on. Felt really good beating a Palpatine yellow earlier today at my LGS, in a third game where both of our decks were smaller than our discard piles. The insane amount of discard really helps against control, specially Crippling Authority, that was the card that I felt won me the game in the grand scheme of things.

I have really enjoyed Rey Vigilance. Double blue gives a strong midrange control style that is super fun to play. I need to try this red version but I dont have Poe yet

Rey does seem fairly decent though i think when people start to learn the play pattern itll fall off a bit. ive seen people definitely misplay into the discard plan. But i do think itll extremely struggle vs bounce heavy decks like yellow boba since rey wont keep initiative and boba can easily undo the leader exp and discard plan will be too slow vs that deck imo. Another stand out card that i think will see side board play is calculated lethality, it probably will be a massive blowout for rey if you say kill an rd with 2 exp or a wing then get that plus 2 on your board instead

I think you are spot on with Chirrutt being the more agro/rebel version. Have you tried r2 and moisture farmer with Rey? Seems like turn one playing either with an experience isnt too bad of a play

I’ve been looking to play this deck, just trying to find a build that feels right to me

I could see a luke come into this. Or even a red leader later.

If you play this card first. Then later play another cunning unit, it gains the shield? Or does it only gain a shield when you play it and the conditions are met?

How do we play DJ with Lando on turn three though?

Can you play an event tactic card at anytime during the game ? Or does it need a specific time like sorcery in MTG?
