Best art in the game

Too bad it's villainous, Mace Windu would like it!

This card is so cheap for what it does 😂

Nice. Good Vader card too. Also like the original movies best, so the set design hits me

Bought to play this in bader

Wow I really like this card!

This card art though..

I've been running Palp2 Green since the start of the set and tweaking it a lot. I'm still not 100% there and I'm actually going to try a few things from your deck and try out non-ecl with more ambush as I have found I wasn't using ECL a lot of my games. That said I will say you absolutely want to have 3 U-Wing Reinforcements in there, that card is incredible in this deck since you can grab both heroism and villainy cards with it. Alliance Dispatcher is a must, it has a huge target on it immediately so it will usually get you a turn 2 flip but if ignored it's incredibly powerful. Maz is another that I've found is a must, same as alliance that she's easy to kill and usually gets targeted quick but you tend to play so many units with palp that if ignored maz gets big quick. Oh and Maz is underworld so you can throw Maul damage on her. Last, the Falcon is another card that I feel is pretty essential, especially with how space heavy the meta is.

I’m a huge fan of action efficiency cards, so this looks like a ton of fun.

As a mono-Vigilance Iden player, I weep.

dual type cards 🔥🔥🔥

Set 4 mechanics look to be changing up the game quite a bit. The ability to literally turn vehicles into leader units seems very strong.

I can 100% see blue/green villainy spending 5 on this to pilot an Avenger.

So early in the game's life, and we already have enchantment creatures! I aint mad at it, though

This is an amazing card ib the right archetype!

This is going to be a fun mechanic

Who knew that Han was talking about a hyper geometric calculator when he said "never tell me the odds"

Nice! Excited for set four.

This deck is one that is viable in all four colors in the pie. I find that aggression plays a lot of low-to-the-ground heroic units that die pretty easily but also create a threat. Aggression also has Heroic Sacrifice which can just play for pure value with your heroic units since you effectively draw 2 for 1 resource and you can use it to close out games with Ruthless Raider (since you hit for 10 in that case). TDR also functions really neat with the exploit vehicle units since they can still play for free with careful board management. I personally disliked the Command variant because it felt like all the tools you're playing the aspect for just aren't worth it when you're not trying to ramp your brains out. I also REALLY disliked the vigilance aspect since it plays so absurdly passive with very few ways to recover as soon as you hit a spiral. The one very key weakness of the deck is that you don't get a free unit like every other deck in the game does and the fact the game is designed around that means that Palp is outrageously outpaced by most other decks if you don't start flipping ASAP. Double cunning is the only variant I've seen that can get away with not flipping ASAP since you can kind of take control of the board back when you lose it thanks to the crazy amount of good tools double cunning has.

I've found that the 3-cost heroism phase clone trooper with Ambush is a good escape plan if your opponent manages to kill your clone while you are exhausted

Any comment on u-wing in this? My view for palp2 (in general) is that identifying the cards that the other side wants to have access to, blue it's luke in villain for example. Green I am thinking SLT and OB for hero ramp lists. Red obviously gets RR and heroic sacrifice. My initial thought is palp2 is not there this set but I keep tinkering until I can find another deck to settle on.

Tried this our this morning and it ran really nicely! I think I prefer it over Palp Blue which I'd been previously testing 😁

Not sure if this is accurate or not but we have been discussing this leader at my LCS. It seems like a good idea but overall using this leader puts you at a disadvantage. He can only flip and use abilities on one side per "turn". So you can have him as heroism then play a heroic card, flip him, play a villainy card and that's it. He works ok up till the point to where the opponent can deploy their leader. Once that happens this deck falls hard, not having a deployed leader puts you at a major disadvantage. I don't think they fully thought it through, if you could flip him twice back to whatever you started with I think that would balance it out, but as it stands right now I don't think it is viable in the competitive arena. So, being heroism, play a heroism, flip him, play villainy and then flip back to heroism. Might balance him a little better but that's my opinion and some others I know.

That was interesting as i was playing it as a vigilance but playing green how would you like to win vs hard control? add tech/homeone/uwing into side? Or maybe uwingo into main as it skips penalty for not having aspect.

I’ve had some success with blue palp/sidious. Good heroic sentinel units in both space and ground arenas with some strong endgame control finishers like Luke, avenger, and snoke has felt strong. And, as you said in your video, having versatile removal cards like takedown, fell the dragon, and rivals fall have been really useful in getting out of otherwise difficult situations

I would think vader and u wing reinforcement would be worth considering because they play units "for free" ignoring aspect penalty.

I have been wondering, is discard at all effective against palps? I imagine his hands can be a lot more awkward than for other decks. But also, he has a ton of innate card draw and only the last card matters etc

What I found when playing him was that your not only really dependend on your own draws alot but also on mistakes your enemy makes. Since your dependend on your own units dieing a smart enemy can play around that through lane dodging and other means. Dont think he will be competetivly viable.

Hey there! Just to let you know, the link in the description points to the Padme deck. Anyway, great video as always!

I love it! I'm all in on palpatine red and its turn1 flip!

In Vigilance, Would Morgan Elsbeth be a good substitute for Geonosis Patrol Fighter or would you still rather run it?

Obi-Wan next, please!

Wat Tambor!!!

Nice command version! I have been digging Palp Vigilance. Snoke and Luke are just bonkers together.

really refreshing to see you making all the points that were my issue with how other people have been building this deck! The blue version that everyone's been playing doesn't seem well-tuned at all for maximising value from palp flips and I totally agree that green is the best colour pairing for this goal

I've been enjoying palp2 as vigilance. Let's you play jedi with the grevious unit so you can try working lightsabers on him. Has been oddly effective

I think with command you want to be playing Alliance Dispatcher and heroes with effects that are so strong that they’re often kill on sight. If they don’t kill him then it makes playing villainy units while on hero side less punishing. Same with Bib and the villainy events

Pre Vizsla or Mace next please ;)

Noice!

Double one drop is pretty decent right now with all the tarkintown decks almost assuredly taking out most single turn 1 plays. I think like cassian she’s waiting for a card drawing pay off like a migs mayfield that triggers when you draw during the action phase.

I’ve been intrigued by a “Super” Padme Cunning (Petranaki Arena?) build that pumps her with Echo, but focusing on a single unit feel like anti-Coordinate synergy. Padme Aggression looks more dependable.

You killed me with this deck the other night!

This but I play Rex as the leader lol

I have played more Padme than any other set 3 leader. She is a lot of fun, but not great. (: I think she would be great if we had cards like Battlefield Marine, Echo Base defender, Lurking Tie Phantom, and Devastator with the Repuplic tag. Sadly I just dont think Republic has enough good units yet.

Did you ever look at doing Padme Vigilance? Have been trying to give the For The Republic upgrade a deck to nestle in just for the flavor!

Fun to play. Better than expected! Tanks for the inspiration. Unfortunately can't beat Sabine with this deck.

Truthfully I think these weeny decks aren't strong enough in the meta yet to take enough games off some of the more powerful meta decks for people to feel the need to put specific counters in the deck. Which I do feel we have. The cards that do damage to each unit, ambush units and big butt sentinels are all things a deck like this will struggle against.

Thanks for covering for her. I've been bringing her to events this past week or so. I think I'm trying to do too much with the red deck I made. I look forward to trying yours out 😊

The coverage from scg con was awesome, very fun to watch, congratulations!

This, Perilous Position, Hevy (imo goated), Plo, and R2 may be the best cards of the set, none a R/L. I love this in card games, staples being readily accessible is clutch. I would love to see some more impactful R/Ls so we have more chase cards, outside of showcases, in future sets, Vader/Luke in set 1 are great examples.
