Hey, I'm the Chewie player. Tournament was bo1 so there were no sideboard and I felt the deck had to be versitile. C3P0 was quite reliable card draw which helped alot. My matchups were Boba yellow, Iden blue, Leia red, Boba yellow, Chirrut red, Krennic blue, and the same Chirrut in the final. I think the deck has 26 2 cost cards so C3P0 helped me dig for the cards I needed and let me have better options for resourcing. Also he is a OK chewie sentinel target as he survives a 3 attack even if he never were the first choice for that. I really don't like to play the meta decks and this game is great for experimenting without getting smashed at tournaments 🙂

That is awesome man huge congrats on doing so well with such a cool and unique deck!!

[@davidwintterle1331]

Thanks for sharing. Do you mind sharing your list? Would love to try it.

[@Zlikk1]

@@LiterallyUnplayablethx!

[@Silverstreak33]

@Zlikk1 I'd love to look at the list, is it posted someplace?

[@Zlikk1]

I'm trying to share the deck link but it seems youtube won't let me

[@jacobs612]

Vice Admiral Holdo had me rolling!!! Overbearing Auntie that you always disappoint no matter what.

[@rebelresource]

That holy pause from David hahahah. Favorite podcast!

[@rebelresource]

NGL... Jay's drip is ❤‍🔥

[@Silverstreak33]

I'd love it if we could as a community normalize congratulating people for good plays in a game, rather than fall into the copium trap of blaming our losses on luck or netdecks or whatever lame excuse we tell ourselves. Good hearted ribbing someone is one thing, like I lost to Leia in a showdown this past weekend because I was triple For A Cause'd off the top deck and I joked that he had 20 in his deck later. But actually meaning it is pretty toxic and lame. At the end of the day we all want to win, but we are privileged we get to sit around and play games as much and as often as we do -- and it's important to remember that sometimes.

[@LiterallyUnplayable]

Amen!

[@timokimm]

love your chats, i got my 2 boys (9 and 14) into the game and they have built their own decks and are excited about our upcoming LGS showdown. They practice about 5 games a day between them and me. I tried to caution them that some of the guys at our local have very good decks and probably want to win. But the store and group are also pretty well-mannered and easy going; a few have tossed cards my boy's way to help them boost their decks. I'm excited to see how it goes!

[@LiterallyUnplayable]

That’s awesome, hope they have a fun time!

[@nickh0024]

Oh my gosh. Jim, your Holdo answer sent me haha 😄 absolute gold

[@codykressmann]

Thanks for the shoutout guys. I’ll get an update on this data out by Tuesday.

[@Karn_BE]

Also took Chirrut/Tarkintown into my first showdown and won. Undefeated into Sabine 3 times, lost to 1 Palp (28 damage on enemy base), won against 1. Won vs Vader green and Vader red and faced Han Green in finals.

[@dantranblay]

Top 8 here at our locals was: 1-Boba Yellow 2-Red Chirrut 3-Boba Yellow 4-Green Luke 5-Boba Yellow 6-Sabine Yellow 7-Krenic Green 8-Vader Green

[@CantinaCovTCG]

IG got 2nd at our local store showdown with 22players 5 rounds and cut to top 4. An awesome deck!

[@davidsmith426]

Great cast dudes

[@nathansauter9622]

As was mentioned, I've seen a few people mention on discord about Jyn making some top 4. I played Jyn at my last Store Showdown and lost in the top 8. Wins did not come easy with playing Jyn for sure!

[@ethanarnett4233]

I’m the only Vader red that hit a top 4 lol so creativity can pay off!

[@LiterallyUnplayable]

That’s awesome, congrats!!

[@WrightDan231]

I mean I know Portland OR is having like 15ish store showdowns just in our city so 83 seems like a really low number.

[@Ilovetoplayjazz]

Jyn top 4'd my local store Showdown at For Honor & Glory in Tampa, FL. Not sure if they reported it.

[@aprillingerfelt4816]

A Sabine green got 8th place pretty cool actually

[@Frzentundra]

Good question Coach. Also, I would ask, how many people were part of each store showdown?

[@dfreshv]

Just call me Gideon, cuz my glaf is always Hask-full

[@LiterallyUnplayable]

😂

[@PG-Gaming]

Yeah...but I would have won if I played better.

[@DHaus-Unplayable]

hahahaha yes this

[@Will-rp8no]

I ran Boba Yellow in a showdown on Saturday. Faced Leia Yellow in the finals and got my teeth kicked in. That deck was hot.

[@LiterallyUnplayable]

Leia Yellow sounds pretty interesting!

[@Will-rp8no]

@@LiterallyUnplayable He was always ready to exhaust my Boba on the flip with Leia unit or asteroid sanctuary or something. The deck played low to the ground so he always got the shield with asteroid sanctuary. He was running Jedha City so he'd blank my first sentinel each game before trading. Seemed like he had an answer for everything Boba Yellow. I was humbled haha... and I had just beat blonde Sabine and Green Bean. He was definitely onto something with that Leia Yellow deck.
