At 9:26 when your opponent attacks with Kanan for 7, you only put 3 damage on your base.
@xelephanor1404 4 күн бұрын
Sigh. Good catch. I actually only put 2 on as I was suppose to put a 5 and a 2 since I was doing increments of 5 for the dice. Thanks for pointing it out and why I need to get an actual counter instead of using pips. My normal method is my phone or a notepad when I’m playing in more competitive settings, but since I have started recording the games, that takes away the phone. Appreciate the comment and helps me to do better.

Honestly, if I saw some more power cards in blue/heroism, I would have. Takedown, Vanquish, Yoda, Dodonna, Kanan, or Ghost would have led me to commit harder while picking up those Battlefield Marines. When I finally saw the Kanan, it was a little too late to pivot again.

Ursula’s Lair provides a form of card advantage to recycle your more powerful chars in a format where card advantage (card draw, 2-for-1 cards, etc.) is at a premium. Cards like medallion weights, great stone dragon, and mob song are some of the best value cards due to how value they generate in this format. Now, I honestly do think I have been overvaluing Ursula’s Lair as it has not provided as much value as I would like due to it being targeted right away or its uninkable nature leading to it getting stuck in my hand. However, it does have the potential for the most value amongst the cards for board impact if it recycles a card like Belle, Dolores, Pluto, Mulan, etc. In hindsight, I would probably take Li Shang or Pluto as their value as a premier 5 drop in draft is great. I do like Aurora, but without items, her body is understatted for her cost. Ariel can take a couple hits as a 2 lore threat, but her 3 str leaves a lot to be desired for a top end card and her ability is difficult to trigger due to very few draftable songs this set. (Mob song notwithstanding)

Thanks for watching and for the comments. Funny thing is that I didn’t even see the OB in any of my games. The Takedowns and Strike Trues did a lot more and helped me get to 3-0. Passing on Power of the Dark Side for Black One could have been the biggest regret as I thought the legendary Black One was worth a little more. Passing on K2SO as a money card almost cost me as my finals opponent took it and did some work against me (with some miscalculation on my part)

@ajvakarian 12 күн бұрын
That was a great draft. Found a clear lane and was reinforced by the P1P1 of OB. I actually agree Strike True at P1P2 was probably the better pick as it kept things a bit more open than fully committing to Green villain right out of the gate. And you still were able to pick up two more Gladiators. You could tell you were getting a ton of great stuff Packs 1 & 3 but pack 2 was a little tougher (im surprised the drafter to your left passed on Gideon if he played Blue Tarkin). Well done!

Are your drafts usually with other experienced drafters? I find my local LGS has a novice draft group that will often throw a wrench in plans just by being very unpredictable. For example, I was playing in a draft recently and kept getting passed OBarrages and thought Green Villain must be open and I could look for Imperials for Tarkin. Only to find out a new drafter went Tarkin Red and just was passing on the barrages. But he was taking every available imperial and really limited the card pool in that way. Not sure how to account for that.
@xelephanor1404 Ай бұрын
Yeah, we have a consistent group of people here for drafts. My only losses in the past two drafts have been to the exact same person. This last draft, he was seated two seats to the left of me and on Palpatine and two Leias for his selection of leaders. When I passes two Leia’s from my leader selection, I was hoping it would help dilute the green pool. Unfortunately, neither of them went with Leia so more green was available than I expected. It’s one of the reasons that I decided to pivot to green to deny some of the power cards from his pool. Luckily, when I chose to pass on Overwhelming Barrage to take the money card (Cunning), it was when packs were going to the right.

I do. Krennic, Tarkin and Leia are my top 3 with Boba close behind. I have not been able to use Jyn yet in draft so may need to force it one day, but she seems strong. I like Sabine also, especially if you can lean i to aggro early with her. As you can see from this draft, even with Tarkin in my selection pool, I had to make the decision to forgo him since I would have someone to the right of me with the other Tarkin. There were also two other Tarkins both to the left and right of me which made it a harder pick to commit to with the possibility of competing for the same colors. Surprisingly, none of the players ended up playing Tarkin.

Good video!. Why Tarkin over Boba?
@xelephanor1404 Ай бұрын
Good question… Boba would have given me more flexibility in terms of color combinations depending on what cards were available. But in terms of power level, I prefer Tarkin with his ability to pump up Imperial Units and gain mismatches throughout the game. Boba can go wide quicker if you draft a lower curve to make use of his ability and he has a great statline of 4/7 on 5. But constantly being able to throw out +1/+1 with Tarkin can really snowball quickly. Also, with Leia as my first pick and sharing green with Tarkin, I felt like I had two top tier leaders so I could commit hard to green and shift to heroism or villainy depending on the card pool. Unfortunately, green power cards were not really prevalent in my early picks so had to commit to Red instead and build off of that.

Honestly, missing out of rogue skirmisher hurts here as that's such a powerful card and would have paired nicely with the echo base defender you mentioned for p1p1. Due to trying to avoid heroism, I went with Maximum Firepower since I had the Bounty Hunter Crew from p1p1, and I felt that I would see a good amount of villainy/imperial with the players to the left and right of me not having any villains in their selection pool. I'm still not sold on surprise strike since if I need to use it as removal, it's a 2 for 1, whereas the Maximum Firepower can typically take out a mid level unit and sometimes a leader while still leaving my units ready for an action.
@M3_22 2 ай бұрын
I paused before I saw your round one pic so this is my thought before seeing 2:46 I’m probably keeping the echo base defender - it gives you the Boba green option and also secures a strong early game card. I’ll keep giving my insight as I come up to each pick!
@xelephanor1404 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for viewing. The echo base defender would have been a great pick if I was going Leia. I love leia but with the person to my left having all heroes (leia, hera, and jyn) and the person to my right having all heroes (Chewbacca, Han, and can't recall their 3rd hero), I wanted to lean into villainy early. Playing this card off aspect wouldn't be ideal so I wanted to snag bounty hunter crew early as there were two other boba's in the pod. This also allows me to keep an eye out for valuable events to recycle later on in the draft.
