Anakin Skywalker Deck Dive | Star Wars Unlimited

[@divineoblivion1]

Thank you for another wonderful video from you guys. What you did in the intro about board states was really fun to see. Even playing a ton of games, you don't really see it until someone points it out. If you do more like this or have this on your patreon, that would be amazing!

[@SWU_KTOD]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! I certainly try to provide this level of analysis in our patreon!

[@Grobermon]

Awesome reference to "Who's the beatdown?" These types of analysis are what makes you guys special in the content you create

[@SWU_KTOD]

Thanks!

[@georgethehulk8173]

Anakin's great, Ian rocked it at SCG Columbus. The unit side completely changes the game with it's potential. Very reminiscent of TIE Phantom. Lots of free wins from people who aren't prepared or try to race.

[@SWU_KTOD]

Yeah I was glad to see Ian and Chris bust it out for the event and do well with it!

[@wyxxle]

great video. would love more leader vids like this. super insightful

[@SWU_KTOD]

@@wyxxle thanks! I'll keep that in mind as I consider more content

[@johnfraney4268]

Heckin succinct mike! Loving these vids

[@SWU_KTOD]

Thanks dude? Sub 15!

[@KodiakDuck]

If Anakin isn't the best, he is definitely the most fun. Swinging for 20+ damage in one turn with one unit feels amazing

[@SWU_KTOD]

agreed!

Fantastic Dad Joking hidden 😂 The Nordic Fleet Approves™

[@Mandodecktech]

Great content as always!!

[@SWU_KTOD]

Thanks!

[@emilybarrett6912]

I dunno about the best, but I think he's my favourite! Working on an Anakin blue force/jedi deck

[@samuellorusso9855]

One thing I think has been underdeveloped is green, lots of overwhelm units in green help him do the crazy nutty tricks.

[@SWU_KTOD]

So many decks, so little time!

[@coachalexmiller]

I pulled off the Bravado dream last night! Got in for 14 only since I didn't have any buffs at the time, but it got there! Even just bravado for 3 + falcon with your other 3 creates a toooon of burst

[@SWU_KTOD]

Hell yeah!

[@ryanendersmith]

Where do I go to find the deck lists you're referring to?

[@SWU_KTOD]

Directions are in the description, just sign up as a free subscriber on our patreon page and you have access to the article version of this video with all of the decklists discussed.

[@frankwmyers]

i love the graphics showing game situations, makes understanding these great points even easier. Are five health units critical now cause of the ping TarkinTown decks? If so, your anakin yellow graphic is interesting. Is grogu better in this meta? Especially since Anakin has a built in pump?

[@SWU_KTOD]

Great points on the 5hp Frank, I do think Grogu is much, much better this set, at least with Anakin but also because of Now There Are Two Of Them!

[@devindahl4412]

To go pound sand...in a video about Anakin...who hates sand *chef kiss*

[@SWU_KTOD]

Hahahahaha didn't even think about that. Must've been subliminal! I was watching AOTC to get hyped

[@s_c_d]

Thanks for this. I've been playing Anakin red in my locals and it's been fun but feels pretty brittle. Do you have a blue Anakin list that doesn't rely on Luke for the top end? As a newer-to-TCGs player who got into the game during SHD, I haven't been able to get any Lukes yet. I don't know what your many Bluenakin decks are though the Rebel synergy one sounds fun (which I say as a former Sabine player). Are there other alternatives to play at the top end that I could fool around with that would give me a sense of the deck? Pykesbanes, Redemptions? Uhh, Mace? Aurra?

[@SWU_KTOD]

I don't think that there's anything that compares to Luke, probably in the whole game (maybe Cad Bane). If wanting to go blue you can definitely top out with the cards you listed, Mace is especially nice because he can hit base the turn he comes into play, which might be more attractive than Luke in some matchups, and he also turns on Force Throw.

[@MADforSWU]

Built an anakin red that no one seems to talk about. Think it's extremely deadly, will test.

[@SWU_KTOD]

Let me know!

[@SWUDAD]

Anakin Blue is definitely legit. Hard to say which leader is going to end up being the best. Quinlan Vos is really good as well. Obviously Jango is very good. I still think Dooku has a lot of potential because any leader that helps you cheat out units is going to be strong, but leader does come out a little late. I also really like Darth Maul with ECL, and the abiity to get in for suttle damage while playing defense, and than close the game out quickly on flip turn with fallen lightsabers, and Maul's. And NTATOT is just nuts, and gives so many decks a bump up in power Love where we are at with this set though. So many possibilies for deck building, and like you said it's more about building a list to your leader's strengths and just opens the door for so many decks to be competitive. Really love how this game is more about the player skill, and the player's ability to build a competitive deck, and not necessarily about the deck/leader being played.

[@SWU_KTOD]

Very well said and thanks for commenting, I was watching some of your deck videos last night after making this and have been enjoying your content!

[@SWUDAD]

@@SWU_KTOD Thank you 🙏. Would definitely love any feedback/input you all have to offer, and big fan of all the KTOD content!

[@Mr007agent]

I am confused on the Greedo and -2/-2 point. Doesn’t Greedo just immediately get defeated and then no overwhelm damage since your attack basically “whiffs”?

[@SWU_KTOD]

Nope, it's the opposite. Crazy. I thought it was the other way too and got corrected by someone who had asked the judges

[@mordarion]

@@SWU_KTOD reference for how this works? spicy play!!

[@MrSpin5808]

@@mordarion Agreed, need to see the interaction

[@SWUDAD]

@@SWU_KTOD does this have to do with the fact that it is exhausted ? People keep asking me, and not sure what to tell them

[@michaelgemme1965]

Guys, it's just in the rules under overwhelm. Section 7. Also clarified in 6.3.2

[@drewfoote269]

Is Anakin the closest thing we have to an OTK in this game?

[@SWU_KTOD]

The overwhelm definitely helps. People tried with Vader and motti though

[@SmittySon07]

Be careful guys… we are talking about pairing him with every color 😮. Opening for a suspension 😂

[@SWU_KTOD]

Who is?! That's cray

[@SmittySon07]

Just a terrible joke 😂. Emojis didn’t capture my sarcasm.

[@SWU_KTOD]

@@SmittySon07 lol I see what you were doing now. This Monday is really Mondaying me :)

[@pabloolivares9370]

I think that Anakin ECL is way better than the blue and yellow option

[@SWU_KTOD]

spicy!

[@TruongMtgArenaHearthstone03]

somewhat lol

[@spencerkogut107]

Anakin is by far the most explosive. Idk if he is the best

[@SWU_KTOD]

I don't either but it's an interesting conversation

[@spencerkogut107]

@ definitely! By the end of the set, he may change our minds too lol
