Hard to disagree with your assessments. Nice job. I do think Cloud Rider is trash and DJ deserved a top 3 spot for yellow. He will be a beast in Yellow Han and Lando.
@Thorrk_THT
@Thorrk_THT 2 күн бұрын
I can see a world where DJ sees more play than Cloud Rider but I think it's unlikely. Cloud Rider does something that very few other cards can do, a 2 resource removal that can deal with marine and other 3 HP ground units. The card is more than a removal, it can be used to put pressure, has synergies with Boba Daimyo, Cobb vainth... On the other hand, DJ has loads of competition and is only actually good in decks that we are not quite sure yet if they are competitive (han yellow is ok but Lando is trash imo)

I've been trying the Gideon Yellow version of this deck which allows you access to his Light Cruiser on TDR to bring back a unit and attack for 7 on your 6 resource turn. The biggest problem with these decks is not having initiative and your Incinerator Trooper and Tie Phantom becoming much worse on T1 and T2 since they can be easily traded into at start of turn.
@Thorrk_THT
@Thorrk_THT 3 күн бұрын
that's why we have many other T1 and T2 play . Gideon cruiser is very good but the Tarkin's ability is really the glue that makes this deck work. And that's why I prefered tarkin version of this deck over boba.

@@Thorrk_THT Yeah I've playtested more Tarkin Yellow and probably is just better than Gideon. I found myself with 1 resource left quite often in both decks and obviously Tarkin is able to effectively use that situation more to his advantage. The ISB agent is critical at dealing with shielded units and works a lot better if you can buff him T1. Thanks for the reply.

I've played with and against this a bit (since the preview of the Phantom/Triple Dark combo I was playing around). It seems like it is losing more than it is winning to Boba Green and I expect Boba Green to stay in the meta for a few months. Surprise Strike on a 3 cost space unit on turn 3, Waylay, NG2MD, Firespray ability, etc... It also is getting creamed by Kylo (both double Aggression and Aggression / Cunning), and I expect to see Rylo in the early Meta. To me, that makes it a fun deck, but not one that will go to the top 8 in a large tournament often. One option to consider here is Legal Authority. I am generally not a fan of capture, but your plan here it to build a big unit that can survive combat and not be countered. Legal Authority gives that unit +2 health, removes a threat (which could be that enemy space unit, a big ground unit, or a utility card with a timing concern like Regional Governor), and at worst is effectively an exhaust against the targeted enemy unit for a 'mini NG2MD'. It is also useful in mirror. I'd prefer it to Swoop Down because I want to be going to base and 1 Sabotage round is not enough of a benefit when I am going to base. Perhaps The Swoop Down is needed for anti-aggro, but I found the Ren Aggro had enough counters to your low cost units that it was too slow for a 'combo' card to work. Regardless, I worked this into my deck recently and it is not coming out to see if it is useful as a turn 5+ play. I'd also think about what Smuggling Compartment does for you - getting that 3 cost unit up to 6 or 7 health ASAP is important and that card pays for itself. I might shave the top end and remove some Piett. I've found I get more benefit on turns 5 and 6 out of depleting my hand, using Tarkin, etc... than I get out of dropping a big card. I'm betting that you'll end up resourcing Piett if you draw him early 99% of the time with this deck - but I can see a lot of early combos where that Smuggling compartment makes a big difference in the early game if it gets to attack even once. Option 1: Drop it on the Tie on Turn 1 allows you to hit harder on 2 and buff your Phantom on play. Option 2 (best option): If you drop it on the Phantom on turn 3, Triple Dark for the Advanced, then Tarkin the Phantom you end up with a 5/5 by the end of 3 and can take it to early in 4 and 9/9 by the time you attack. Option 3 is usually just to resource it later in the game. For my deck the optimal three turn draw so far has been Tie/Smuggling, Phantom/Smuggling, Triple Dark(Advanced)/Tarkin ability/(any 1 cost). I also experimented with Mining Guild Tie over ISB because I was finding the ISB irrelevant too often, Mining Guild can be a threat to enemy space units that prevents them from using a Green Squadron to remove your Phantom fast enough (at times), and it has later game value as I do deplete my hand with this deck in many games. I'm running 1 in my deck with more in the sideboard.

The MU might be not great for Tarkin vs Kylo since it's a race but I am confident that tarkin vehicle is in general a FAR better deck than the Kylo Ren decks I have seen. Also, the deck is kicking ass left and right in the TTI top cut at the moment, will see how it goes. The MU against boba can be difficult, but you know what other deck has a difficult MU against Boba? Sabine. Didn't prevent it from being one of the most successful decks in the meta. Tons of cards can be tried, I like the idea of legal authority and would definitely like to try it. However, I am pretty confident that smuggling compartments and mining guild tie fighters are not good enough for the deck.

I'm wondering about that Arquiens Assault Cruiser. Could an out of aspect Ruthless Raider do the same job? It has a great ETB-effect that can inconvenience grounds units as well as direct damage to close out games, it's imperial and can be boosted by Tarkin, and you can find it earlier with Tripple Dark Raid
@Thorrk_THT
@Thorrk_THT 3 күн бұрын
The fact that the raider is imperial really doesn't matter since it's a late game unit. You still have to pay for aspect penalty when you play from Triple Dark Raid. Advantage of the Arquitens (assuming triple dark raid which is the way it's supposed to be played): - 7/8 instead of 4/6 , so even with the ETB a ready arquitens swings for more. - The ramp is actually super relevant, you triple dark raid for 6, ambush kill something ramp to 7, get the arquitens back in hand and then replay it the turn after for 8. -Arquitens has the option to attack right away with ambush no need to wait an action. So there might be situations where out of aspect raider might be better, but overall I think arquitens is slightly better.

My main issue with the set is that it was Legendary heavy. No matter what aspect combination you want to play, you need the legendaries to be competitive. However, the failure to print enough product means that you cannot get the cards from boosters and the secondary market prices are nuts. If you are playing an affordable deck, it becomes very hard to compete if your opponents draws their legendaries
@Thorrk_THT

I agree with a lot of these points, but I totally love the crazy oddball art. Bamboozle is just memorable. The problem now, is that SoR was such a high bar, and SHD is not a great second set. Leaders with zero support, or just complete junk abilities, barely any synergy cards for the leaders from set 1 that needed them. Ordinary (and some useless) Legendaries. All sorts of strange power creep (i.e. breaking the established rules of double aspect > single aspect). I could go on. I'm sure it will be "fine" but given this was developed at the same time as Set 1, it feels way less polished than Set 1.

I would give Lorcana rating a 3/10 its vertue was that it was very accessible. On the other hand the meta that resulted from it was awful, the thematic of each color was quite obscure, the theme of the set was non existent, too many unplayable cards and a rather small set lead to very restricted options, too many duplicated cards in different colors, too many vanilla cards. I actually liked the game quite a bit but the set 1 was soo bad I didn't spend a penny on the game after playing it on pixelborn.

Hey dude love your content. 2 requests for the future. Please use the normal looking leaders for future video. Most players will never see or play against a showcase leader (at least in person) so it’s much easier to read and recognize the standard looking leaders. (I my self tie up all the meaning of cards based on how they look) 2. Even though the ability is shown on screen I think it’s worth reading / explaining the ability of a card each time you talk about it. Not everyone has read them, or more importantly understand how to use them. Especially when making content BEFORE new sets are physically out for official release. (Means that most players have never seen the cards in person yet) You’re my favorite SWU creator so wanted to share! Keep up the great work.

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback 1. Good point that is easy to fix. 2. The reason why I put the leader's ability on screen is so people can stop the video and read the ability at any time. If I had to read the leader's ability everytime, it would make the video even longer and it would be quite boring for the majority of my audience who already know what the leader does and are just here to hear my analysis on it.
