Oh just realized you made a video about it too, good stuff! Glad i am not the only one who believe the deck is strong.

[@ktodmatty]

@@Thorrk_THT very strong and overlooked for sure!

Hello there it's Earendil : Boba Daimyo Blue player that manage to get 18th at 148 player toornament at Sainte Maure de Touraine and also 10th after swiss stage. Thanks for the shoutout !! :) So for the list part : my opinion is that your list is strickly better against villainy blue then mine. That's for sure ! BUT your list is way less consistent against aggro then mine and i always prepare my deck to be good against aggro (sabine, boba). For the cart part : I will say what i think, it's strictly my opinion, i'm maybe wrong or not !! :D - Your list is good for drawing card because of how many blue card you play and Yoda in the deck ! That's pretty cool honestly ! - I don't like Yoda without the force package. I understand why you run it but i just prefer echo base defender or sundari peacekeeper. - I run Gamorean which i think is just strictly better then regional and a key part of why i can deal with aggro. It's just personnal preference and i do understand why you run them for the soft control/control matchup. I tryed them and didn't feel like it was that good (ofc it can be amazing to counter a slb i'm not denying that but losing on another t1 is worse for me). I don't like concord main deck and i run 3 bright hope because of how much the card draw, the hp, the anti-bounty synergy is key in certain matchup. I run 2 make an opening to help against crafty smuggler and tie fighter etc. I just prefer it (probably my vision of my deck being more prepared for boba and sabine i guess). - I'm playing mandalorian because it's better in my opinion then obiwan because of the 6 attack against poe/wrecker/zuckus (without 4lom) Also the 2 shield can be a big big deal on gamorean sometimes and be absolutly absurd ! Obiwan tho is better against softcontrol i don't deny it, and you don't play gamorean so i understand your choice + it's blue. - I don't understand really how you can swarm the board against relentless when you can't u-wing and barrage can be place onto it to counter your low unit that you're playing, that's why i'm playing arquitens AND now timely intervention to have a 1 cost event that i can just play against it. It's always been key to win villainy blue matchup in my opinion, and you cannot afford to waste a fell onto it most of the time because of how devastator is hard to deal with if you don't have fell. I also won a game with relentless played in the ressources with tech in final of showdown so i like that tech ! lol - I think not running confiscate main deck is a bad idea in the current meta but that's just personnal preference and that's why you play 2 rival fall, I prefer 2 confiscate and one rival fall and 3 fell main deck. - Traitorous as always been inconsistant for me so i just got away from it and now run no 5 cost, often i want to have ressuply to play it with a 2 cost, gamorean is cool because it has sentinel when you deploy boba aswell. - I do like the cobb vanth in side tho it's pretty interesting, I did run a pretty similar list before but i got away from it because of how aggro was a problem. I understand why you run him since you play regional, it does make sense. - I don't like choose side and prefer arquitens. - Not playing timely intervention in my opinion is a mistake because of how powerful it is sometimes with luke or other low cost unit. the list i'm running : { "metadata": { "name": "Boba Blue", "author": "Earendil" }, "leader": { "id": "SHD_008", "count": 1 }, "secondleader": null, "base": { "id": "SHD_020", "count": 1 }, "deck": [ { "id": "SHD_079", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_076", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_262", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_078", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_098", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_043", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_098", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_100", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SHD_112", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_044", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_126", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_095", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_051", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_077", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_104", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SHD_248", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_129", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_041", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_102", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_099", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SHD_049", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_052", "count": 1 } ], "sideboard": [ { "id": "SHD_122", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_098", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SHD_043", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SHD_098", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SHD_042", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_248", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_102", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_052", "count": 1 } ] } Nice video as always ! :) earendil8851 if you want to talk about the list on discord or see my list ! :D

[@svenneskumpa]

Hi! I´m the Han Blue player you played against yesterday. Sorry that i left the game when you were in kind of a hurry.. my internet crashed ☹. It was cool seeing the deck from the otherside. Keep putting out good content

[@ltlolcat]

I'll give this a try, Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@Basechopper-g5m]

OMG that's the deck i have been playing all season! Now people will believe me when I say it's good. My list is a bit different, a lot more teched against Sabine and Boba. I think there's just not enough control in the meta right now to justify Yoda, Governor, and Obi Wan over Riekkan, which is a way better card in all non control matchups.

[@Thorrk_THT]

My deckbuilding style is that I like to mitigate bad MU and I think control is a very bad MU for this deck. From my experience this version of the deck is still pretty good into boba and sabine, so anything more would be a bit overkill imo. Also my anti control cards such as Yoda , cobb vanith... are also very useful againt soft control decks like Han2 blue and Qira which represent a big portion of the meta.

[@Basechopper-g5m]

​@@Thorrk_THTThanks for responding, I'll try your list and probably make some changes to mine

[@Isthereanyonehere]

Great video! Also swudb has a dark mode lol

[@Wosho1982]

Yesterday we talked about it and now a video with different version nice :) btw i always thought you side out ramp vs aggro to not skip 3rd turn specifically if you dont have strong 5 turn plays no?

[@Thorrk_THT]

You could side out the ramp, but imo there are worst card to side out in priority. Ramp against aggro can be very strong if your opponent is having kind of a slow start.

[@stickinsstick8656]

Question - if you play Gamorean retainer - does it trigger as a keyword. ?

[@Basechopper-g5m]

If you have another green unit, yes. While it's condition is active you treat the card as if it had centinel writen on it. While it's not, you treat it as if it had no text

[@teamgrizzly41]

Well now you made a video on it, the surprise is gone now 😒

[@Thorrk_THT]

I wish I had the influence you think I have, but only a small fraction of the community actually watch my videos ^^

[@ethangouveia3868]

Have you tried running a copy of Firespray to hit off U-Wing reinforcement?

[@Thorrk_THT]

@@ethangouveia3868 cool idea but even off u wing it's not super optimal since you don't have a 1-drop to go for it, beside the deck is not really an aggro deck

[@ethangouveia3868]

@@Thorrk_THT Good point on it not being an aggro deck. I haven't playtested my version that had it yet, and I hadn't considered that it doesn't really play into the deck's strategy

[@LaregledujeuSMT]

@@ethangouveia3868 I did try a maul in the deck with u wing but it was too inconsistant, but a one off is "ok"
