also, top target isn't in the card list but you play it in the games. how many cards is your actual Karabast deck?

@@maeteor If you watch the "entire" intro I talk about how the first 3 games are with the first iteration of the deck before I took certain cards out. The last game is with the final iteration. Here is my current updated version for reference. Leader and Base 1 Qi'ra, I Alone Survived 1 Energy Conversion Lab // Ground Units 2 Darth Vader, Commanding the First Legion 2 Gideon Hask, Ruthless Loyalist 3 Hylobon Enforcer 2 Maul, Shadow Collective Visionary 3 Pyke Sentinel 2 Rukh, Thrawn's Assassin 3 Superlaser Technician 2 Supreme Leader Snoke, Shadow Ruler 3 The Client, Dictated By Discretion // Space Units 2 Avenger, Hunting Star Destroyer 3 Consortium StarViper 2 Inferno Four, Unforgetting // Events 2 Make an Opening 3 Overwhelming Barrage 3 Power of the Dark Side 3 Resupply 2 Rival's Fall 2 Superlaser Blast 2 Takedown 2 Timely Intervention 2 Vigilance // Sideboard 1 Avenger, Hunting Star Destroyer 2 Devastator, Inescapable 1 Make an Opening 3 Relentless, Konstantine's Folly 1 Restock 1 Superlaser Blast 1 Vigilance

@@ThiagoAugustoo appreciate it! Let me know how it goes One Suttle change you can make for a little more consistency is take out 2x Deathtrooper, and add the 1x Client, and 1x Maul from the sideboard

@@SWUDAD Yep, I don't have this big cards like Vader, Avenger and the others, So I need made big changes here for more consistency. I'll try and report here or in our channel @SWDBR here on youtube.

@@ThiagoAugustoo sounds good

@@Stranglebat Lom Pyke is cool, but I like it better in Saxon. I chose rukh and Gideon at the 5 spot for the versatility they have at removing threats. Super commando I like a lot in Iden Blue/Red where you can put an entrenched on it to make it a 7/7 sentinel

@SWUDAD I'm planning on testing commando and lom and ruhk in mine. I am also running entrench because I went super light In space sound of some inferno 4s and consortium's until the big drops. so the entrench commandos plan is still good and qira can reshield hopefully! it's testing time!

@@Stranglebat Nice. let me know how it goes!

Appreciate it!! Not sure, I agree to a certain extent. Although, I still think Iden is the strongest overall. I would honestly just try this list below with Krennic as the leader and go from there. 1 Director Krennic 1 Energy Conversion Lab // Ground Units 2 Darth Vader, Commanding the First Legion 2 Gideon Hask, Ruthless Loyalist 3 Hylobon Enforcer 2 Maul, Shadow Collective Visionary 3 Pyke Sentinel 2 Rukh, Thrawn's Assassin 3 Superlaser Technician 2 Supreme Leader Snoke, Shadow Ruler 3 The Client, Dictated By Discretion // Space Units 2 Avenger, Hunting Star Destroyer 3 Consortium StarViper 2 Inferno Four, Unforgetting // Events 2 Make an Opening 3 Overwhelming Barrage 3 Power of the Dark Side 3 Resupply 2 Rival's Fall 2 Superlaser Blast 2 Takedown 2 Timely Intervention 2 Vigilance // Sideboard 1 Avenger, Hunting Star Destroyer 2 Devastator, Inescapable 1 Make an Opening 3 Relentless, Konstantine's Folly 1 Restock 1 Superlaser Blast 1 Vigilance

@@SWUDAD Thanks! My list is very, very similar so I'll have to do some more testing. I like the +1 on damage from Krennic, as well as his Restore 2 and flip on 5. Pairs so well with ECL Gideon and Steadfast. Though it seems Rukh is a better option than Steadfast with Dragons out there. I like to sideboard 2 Devotions vs Aggro to get that sweet Restore 4 on Krennic or a Consortium. Iden always feels weak to me on her flip for some reason.

@@csc4640 Yeah flipping on 5 definitely has its advantages.

What's your main deck?

@@SWUDAD Playing Tarkin Yellow right now, because its cheap, also considering the Han and Kylo you featured

@@ajtame Nice ! I would suggest just copying this deck list into your forcetable, and playing against it over and over again until you figure out how to beat it consistently. Than it won't feel so "unfun", but more of a "these are the cards I need to beat"soft control". I think Kylo has a pretty solid matchup because you are getting in the bulk of your damage before Qi'ra flips, and than you are finishing them off with your "reach". Han Green ramp I feel has a favorable matchup against soft control because of all of your ramp, and Krayt Dragon. Han Green ramp is honestly just insane.

if it made sense it would be in here lol... "Guys I am telling ya... I need more Krayt Dragon 🤣"

I haven't test Qi'ra Red yet. But I was having that problem with Qi'ra Green at first against Sabine and other aggro decks until I changed some things around. The Client was huge for the aggro matchups though. I would suggest 2-3x in the mainboard, with the 3rd in the sideboard at the very least

@@SWUDAD Ah my bad! Thought you had mentioned Qi'Ra Red. I do agree in your assessment that the inclination to have a lot of units with Grit w/Qi'Ra is very tempting. The Client and Make An Opening w/Qi'Ra has been super helpful to retain some hitpoints. I keep deck testing; hopefully, Qi'Ra Red can be a viable deck vs high aggro :)

@@koro898 What's your list looking like? I can definitely mess around with it as well and see how it feels

Yea Rukh has been great. I am not sure about Lom Pyke. Can't decide if I even like that card yet lol ... Need to test it out more. It definitely has potential with the right supporting cast

Hard to say I haven't tested Rey Red yet. So couldn't give you an honest opinion on that.

@@SWUDAD All right, thanks anyway. How well does the deck work against Sabine ECL?

@@jackoneill9167 Against Sabine Green is what I have tested this deck against the most. The changes I made to the original list were due to having difficulty with Sabine Green. That being said, since making the changes the deck has not lost to Sabine Green. "The Client" is huge for that matchup, and absolutely necessary

@@SWUDAD Okay thanks:)

Appreciate it! Rival's fall has been really good in here, and necessary for bigger threats that can come out of no where, and leaders that pump themselves up like (Sabine, Bo-Katan, Boba Fett, etc...) As far as the 2 of's, that absolutely might change as the meta develops. However, in testing it doesn't feel stretched too thin. It give's the deck a little more versatility in mainboard, and helps you to be more well rounded for game 1. With the Sideboard you are bringing in a lot of the 3rd copy of different cards for specific matchups for example (3rd Make an Opening/3rd Vigilance/3rd The Client/Avenger/3rd Superlaser blast, 3x Relentless). The other reason is there are just so many good cards now for these colors. Your removal (Power of the Darkside/Takedown/Rival's Fall) and (Snoke/Maul/Vader) for example, and each of them are good in different scenarios. Avenger is still amazing, and I just wanted to be able to fit everything in. With that being said the Sideboard is still a "rough draft" as the meta develops, and even the main board may be adjusted as certain decks start to rise to the top of the meta If there was one card to potentially take out it would be the "2x Death Trooper". Add in "3rd Client", and "2nd Maul" from sideboard. In sideboard you could add "2 top target" if you are worried about aggro, or "2x Fell the Dragon" if you are worried about bigger units, or "2nd Devastator, and 1-2x Restock" if you are worried about control. So many potential options right now as things are developing.

Something like this. Leader and Base 1 Qi'ra, I Alone Survived 1 Energy Conversion Lab // Ground Units 2 Darth Vader, Commanding the First Legion 2 Gideon Hask, Ruthless Loyalist 3 Hylobon Enforcer 2 Maul, Shadow Collective Visionary 3 Pyke Sentinel 2 Rukh, Thrawn's Assassin 3 Superlaser Technician 2 Supreme Leader Snoke, Shadow Ruler 3 The Client, Dictated By Discretion // Space Units 2 Avenger, Hunting Star Destroyer 3 Consortium StarViper 2 Inferno Four, Unforgetting // Events 2 Make an Opening 3 Overwhelming Barrage 3 Power of the Dark Side 3 Resupply 2 Rival's Fall 2 Superlaser Blast 2 Takedown 2 Timely Intervention 2 Vigilance // Sideboard 1 Avenger, Hunting Star Destroyer 2 Devastator, Inescapable 1 Make an Opening 3 Relentless, Konstantine's Folly 1 Restock 1 Superlaser Blast 1 Vigilance

yeah a lot of people act like the phantom is invincible. It's pretty easy to deal with as long as you have a plan for it (which you should)

Entrenched decent on the client etc too 5/8 early

​@@SWUDADI also think Lom Pike is great in Green Qi'ra. With all the removal, who cares if a unit of your choice gets a shield? Us getting a shield is huge with the Qi'ra flip

@@stonerainproductions Yea I could see that card being solid, just haven't tested it yet.

I hear that. It definitely is. Give it a shot on force table/karabast

Give's the deck a little more versatility in mainboard, and helps you to be more well rounded for game 1. Sideboard you are bringing in a lot of the 3rd copy of different cards for specific matchups for example (Make an Opening/Vigilance/The Client/Avenger/Superlaser blast, 3x Relentless). The other reason is there are just so many good cards now for these colors. Your removal (Power of the Darkside/Takedown/Rival's Fall) and (Snoke/Maul/Vader) for example, and each of them are good in different scenarios. Avenger is still amazing, and I just wanted to be able to fit everything in. With that being said the Sideboard is still a "rough draft" as the meta develops, and even the main board may be adjusted as certain decks start to rise to the top of the meta

Exactly. You just reduce its stats and dont damage it, thats why make an opening is amazing against lurking tie

Yeah because it's -2/-2 counters, and not damage. Just have to make sure you use it before they start pumping up the Phantom though. Make an opening, and Force lightning are two cards that work against Phantom

I think both are viable. It's hard to say. I will be doing an Iden Green video soon with the updated list from SoG. I can give you a better answer after I do that

I agree, I think Iden is better

she comes down earlier to stabilize you. Her ability puts units lower for follow up vigilance, maul snoke and she can have massive barrages. I think iden/krennic/qira are fairly interchangeable depending on preference.

Thanks! Let me know how it goes!!

Yeah easy to miss that stuff sometimes on Karabast

Karabast online platform. You just upload your deck from SWUDB (Star Wars Unlimited Deckbuilder). It's free to play and a great place to try out decks vs other people

@@SWUDAD thank you, I hadn’t heard of that before. I’ll try it out!

@@pokelennial No problem

@@tonywalder5081 glad they have been helpful. Those cards are super important for the deck to be competitive Some cheap replacements that you could use for now are Takedown, Fell the Dragon, vanquish, and Rivals Fall for removal. Reinforcement Walker, Acquitens Assault Cruiser are strong cards. Can one shot fett’s fire spray and help you ramp up more

@@SWUDAD Thank you for the cheaper alternatives this will help as i already have few of these and the others are cheaper to get. I might bite the bullet and just get a copy of either Luke, home one, vigilance once a month until i have 3 copies of each but they are £20+ per card. I will also keep an eye out for trades.

@@tonywalder5081 Luke is in an incredible unit. At 12 resources you can get back a Luke Unit with Home One which is awesome. Home One is great for the control matchup to replenish your board. Vigilance is one of the strongest cards in the game. Definitely helps the decks competitiveness

@@FindingTheForce Black One is good against “control decks”, or “discard decks” to help replenish your hand I would also bring it in vs heavy space decks like Boba Red, and Kylo Yellow

@@grnman86 just random stuff from my recording application. Watch game 4 vs Iden Green. This deck has a decent amount of reach (daring raid, the chaos of war, migs mayfield, saw garerra, reckless gunslinger, etc) and goes so wide that it has good answers for decks like that

@@SWUDAD Ya I like the deck. I wanna see a build with dark saber somewhere lol. That card seems absurd

haha nice. it's very strong

Makes sense. I switched in “Keep Fighting” in the main board and took out Partisan, but I could see force throw being really strong main

It’s a blast 💥

That's good to hear

That’s awesome. One of the best arts of the set

@@AVikingNerd GI Blue is sweet. Similar to this deck in that it can win on turn 3. Most of the cards are cheap as well. I posted a video of that a few weeks ago. I would switch out Krrsantan for Clan Challengers though from my last list

I run this with fang fighters instead of silencers for the same reason, it’s still pretty great but silencer would make it way better for sure.

I believe he had a “Takedown” in hand and was waiting for me to deploy Kylo Ren to immediately remove it. It ended up costing him the game though because I just claimed initiative, and kept pushing damage
