HAN 2.0 IS HERE!

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey bud, I loved the section where you discussed all of the cards you did not include in your deck. Extremely helpful. A great video 👍🏻

[@janhadzik5194]

Great content! Very, very helpful. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@oskaipwn]

Thanks for sharing you ideas with us Thorrk. I went 4-1 in a store Showdown and took second this weekend with your previous list. I didn't drop a game until the finals. In the 3-0 match against Sabine on turn 2 he dropped Red 3 while I had a Falcon in hand. Its such a hard counter that I knew the game was over.

[@TruongMtgArenaHearthstone03]

Went 4-1 as well but didn't get chance play top 8 cause time. Still got my windu

[@thomasnguyen8673]

Thanks for posting this! Lots of great info. Ran your list at a Showdown tonight and took 1st

[@benoitnicosia9001]

Excellente vidéo comme d’habitude. Très intéressant ce suivi de l’évolution de la liste. Surtout continue !

[@toddwright18]

Just another friendly reminder, bright hope can only target ground units for the bounce.

[@savagedragn]

Did he get that wrong somewhere?

[@spencerhumpherys170]

I ran your old list at store showdown. I went 2-2 but it was a blast to play. Lost to Boba/green and control Vader. Thank you for your insights.

[@divineoblivion1]

Love your videos and analysis! Your video last time made me want to run a Han deck (but I am going red instead of green). I know you are going to do amazing in this tournament like you did last time! Hope for the best and do amazing mate!

[@corneliuslecounte1669]

I like mercenary company as my 6 drop. The ambush overwhelm is really good. And the 5 health is good enough to survive most leaders

[@Thorrk_THT]

It's a good idea, personnaly I find the extra card given by Skirmisher to be too important to pass. I find the 6/6 stat line a bit redundant with Han (unit)

[@BadatBoardgames]

Thanks for the update I think this might be my next leader to learn Thank You

[@inmacrnv6850]

Love to see the Liberator gunship and syndicate lackeys, i think they fits perfect againts aggro and boba too. Strafing gunship or mercenary company, maybe the next updates? :)

[@pgkrzywy]

I love Merc. Company in my Han. Good backup plan in case your can is DOA or can be surprising for an opponent waiting for you to climb to 7R. I also thought about Strafing Gunship, but like the Liberator one better (Ambush from U-Wing)

[@GameBrigade]

Not a Han player, but like this list a lot.

[@schummelpilz]

You deserve 100k followers

[@jasonpauldegraaf]

Thanks for the update, Thorrk. I think R2 and C3PO only make sense if you maindeck Fleet Lt.

[@willhowe]

What do you think of Cunning in Han Green? Just meta dependant?

[@pgkrzywy]

what do you think of Mercenary Company? 6/5/5 with Ambush & Overwhelm won me some games (last few damage after attacking a sentinel). It’s not typically played in Han so people don’t play around it and sometimes I am baiting people, who think I will be waiting on Han’s turn to get to 7 and play Han-unit and I play Merc Comp turn earlier instead. It kills Sabine and Boba-unit (and lives to tell the tale) and give base damage if attacking unit that is something small.

[@RossCooper]

Also, almost 3k! What special video can we expect? 😂

[@Thorrk_THT]

Don't know maybe a pole dancing video who knows !

[@RossCooper]

@@Thorrk_THT I want to see you do some challenges! Maybe something like a gauntlet, where you and another top player pit the top meta decks against each other with a points system!

[@WelshJesus]

A friend of mine plays a similar build except he plays a few out of aspect 7 drops for U wing. It’s a pretty oppressive deck.

[@francisfoucault-bouchard129]

Same I just can't beat him with this deck. The off aspect cards for U Wing is very strong

[@davidfauser4924]

Hi Thorrk. Play tested about 30 games against green sab deck. Air issue for sure solved...now I am getting hammered by K2S0/for a cause. It is hard to even get to 8 to get the walkers out.

[@davidfauser4924]

however...against boba...much better.

[@davidvelazquez677]

Just played A TON of games on Karabast w/ green Han. Having trouble against Double Green Palp and Sabine Yellow. Any tips?

[@WhiskeyjackZA]

I want to see that Han Blue deck that made the top cut the weekend! (That tourney had a lot of Han's and the top Green Han just copied the last version of your deck). I have tried a lot of Blue Han of late (fun to play) and the only bad matchup is against Aggro. Currently, there is not a lot of tools in hero blue and yellow, like a cheap sentinel or good early game trader. Han Green has better tools and whilst less interesting in general (it kinda builds itself), it is interesting to see the tweaks people are making to their decks. Han has a high ceiling and I am excited to see what the future holds for Han!

[@Thorrk_THT]

My current opinion is that Han Green is superior than Han blue in almost every way: Home One -> redemption Battlefield marine -> arc-170 U-wing -> Luke (as much as I love Luke) Bright Hope-> kanan The only thing where blue is better is: Obiwan -> Skirmisher But most importantly Han blue is missing Ressupply which is in my opinion the best card in the deck after U-wing. Blue removals package is fine but I would rather have traiterous to fight against Boba. With that being said I will keep an open mind and give another try to Han blue, especially if it keeps pulling consistent results. As I mention in my video about deckbuilding: always be ready to unlearn what you think you know!

[@WhiskeyjackZA]

@@Thorrk_THT Yes, agree as things stand green has better and more consistent cards. Blue is fun with the force users and force cards. You can drop some good 3/4 drops (Ezra, Yoda, Kanan - they become beasts with Lightsabers - but again very sad to removal / tapping them out) and then in the Han turn Luke...But like you say green just kinda has better drops anyway on curve and U-Wing (potential 2-3 problems) is a more consistent good play than Luke (1 card to counter).

[@plumar83]

What would be your sideboard plan in a mirror match? Thanks in advance!

[@willhowe]

1. How often do you deploy leader Han 'straight away'. Or is it often a considered decision depending on the matchup where you sometimes deploy for a final push or to stabilise after threats are removed? 2. How often do you Han hero power and what are the key instances/examples that force your hand to engage it?

[@Thorrk_THT]

1. it really depends on the MU , the more answer they have the less often I will try. 2. On average 2, between 1 to 3 times per game

[@jasonpauldegraaf]

Also, I know you made a case against Shoot First but I swear by it, especially against aggro and the mirror. I swapped it out for Traitorous and never went back. Being able to spend one resource to kill an unit and then have enough resources to play another unit is devestating for the opponent. I even used it as a finisher in one match when I was one damage off lethal and no surprise strike in hand. It's side boarded vs. hard control, but otherwise, it's a maindeck for me.

[@Thorrk_THT]

fair enough I just rarely have the opportunity to play mutiple card in a turn, Han does run out of cards easily.

[@RossCooper]

I came up against 3 Hans at an event on Saturday! Felt like my opponents were having lots of fun playing the deck. What do you think to an out of aspect OB or two? Got caught off guard with those in one match up.

[@Thorrk_THT]

It's good but situational I think there are much better things to do for 7 ressources.

[@kuesk]

Thanks!!! Just got second in my 32p store showdown with strong players from my region, swiss went smooth winning a boba and a tie with blue vader. On top8 won sabine, blue Iden and lost finals vs Vader blue, but I totally felt I really had a good shot if I knew the matchup and how to properly use the side. Any tips on this particular MU?Thank you again!

[@adamjeffries6173]

What about the Skiff?!? You didn't talk about Gamo Guards either, but a great video! I love this format! When is the top cut tournament?

[@Thorrk_THT]

Escort skiff is quite redundant with Skirmisher also quite hard to turn on we don't play that many early game green unit. Gamo guards is fine but if I was going to play a big sentinel on the ground I would prefer Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a decent option to further improve the aggro MU, but I prefer syndicate lackey that work vs aggro and boba a bit better.

[@nedlavelle]

Whats the latest version of the build?

[@Pasqwalle]

Great update. And I'm glad we've come to a lot of the same conclusions (You just liked my post on FB I tagged you in about my 7-0 weekend!) Putting 3 Sparks main deck, while cutting Mon Mothma [and Ackbar down]. My post on FB had 2 Mothma and 3 Ackbar for my Saturday event, but after my 3-0 locals yesterday, I cut them both down to 1. And was looking for replacements. Tonight is my store showdown and it's sadly a Best of 1 event, which will make my choices a bit more interesting. Right now, I'm thinking for this style of event to lean a bit more into the toolbox nature of the deck and main deck 1 Prepare for Takeoff & 2 Gunships over those 2 Ackbar I'm cutting (I also realized that we are terrible in space without Falcon and def would have lost to a Leia if I didn't traitorous a buffed Green Squadron). I also don't run Ace, and I think 1 Lackey's in the main deck will be a solid choice for me for this. My next debate is if my 2-1 Home One/Reinforcement Walker split is good or if I should honestly use 1 Home One and 2 Walker for this Best of 1. That's my big debate with myself. My only question to you is why did you cut Change of Heart? For this best of 1 event, I'm thinking of keeping my 1 in the Main Deck. I find it such a clutch way to close out games by stealing those big ships. And even main Unitless control decks run Avenger and such to close out games, this way they don't fully rely on Mill. I only won my event yesterday because I had 28 damage on the Vader/Green base and he was in full control by this point, but I took Initiative and Change of Heart on his Ruthless Raider, which meant I won even if he killed it (and he could have).

[@Thorrk_THT]

I like change of hearth vs palpaltine and vader, depending on the meta you might wanna have a douple in sideboard

[@TheREALSenate]

Have you thought about adding Bounty Hunter Crew to your deck (in order to bounce a U-Wing Reinforcement to your hand) or is the penalty to extreme in this case?

[@matthewr1019]

Only have 1x Traitorous and 1x Falcon in my deck. Any suggestions as replacements?

[@kezkoal]

How impactfull do you see the admiral ackbar? I am tempted to get rid of it completely, for the same cost you could get the homestad militia, that whould be relevant almos always. I feel ackbar is only for the space fight to end a ship that fighted the bright hope, and some other edge cases... but the homestead sentinel... makes easier to get a sentinel out of a uwing , wich is a lot of times what you want to see

[@Thorrk_THT]

To get a sentinel on the ground we already have EBD. Akbar is a great tool box card that saved me in a lot of situations.

[@paulroberts8609]

Would t Strafing serve your purpose better than Auzituck? I know it costs one more and no ambush (although one could consider ECL with it). But it has the flexibility of helping with space or ground.

[@Othoa]

Thorrk, what you side against Luke/green or red?

[@saucegod23mm]

Hello ! J'adore ce deck j'essaye de le jouer le + possible mais quand je tombe sur des decks contrôle classique ( iden, krinic, palpat ) je suis quasiment sûr de perdre si j'ai pas eu en main de départ un drop 2 et 3. J'ai l'impression que je ne peux que gagner en mettant la pression au début. J'ai jouer ressuply et j'ai eu l'impression que dans ce match up c'était pas super utile, surtout si j'ai pas jouer de unit a 2 ressources. J'envois plus vite solo mais vu qu'il est solo sur le board il se fait gérer directement et si je joue une unit avant lui alors j'ai l'impression de perdre l'intérêt de pouvoir faire un tour avec un gros ramp. Comment faut il jouer ces match up ? Une fois que Avengers arrive sur le board c'est ingérable , j'ai un change of hart dans le deck mais si je l'ai pas j'ai l'impression que je peux juste concede.

[@smcculloch]

Change of heart out of the sideboard? My meta has a lot of blue palp and it's definitely won me some games

[@Thorrk_THT]

yes if that's your meta then yes it's a good idea :)

[@jeremydelaporte3770]

I took Han Green to a 40 person case tournament on Saturday and took 8th place going 4-3. Two of my three losses were the Han Green mirror. Those matchups felt incredibly luck based. 3/4 of my games seemed to come down to my opponent hitting their ramp and U-Wings before/instead of me. I only had one really close game and I had them on 4 HP for like 3-4 rounds and just kept drawing nothing to help me close. Do you have any advice on how to play the mirror to make it less RNG? I feel like I wasnt mulliganing aggressively enough or that I needed to try and play greedier, because playing a normal gameplan just wasnt working.

[@johnjarvis8480]

No Ezra ? I found him to be a good opening if I miss Falcon. Next turn attack and play the card revealed.

[@Thorrk_THT]

I talk about it in the video

[@johnjarvis8480]

Should have watched whole video before commenting lol😮

[@DietrichSz]

Hi, thanks for the deck, I used the previous iteration on nearly 50 players store showdown and managed to get top4. Just one question out of curiosity, did you compare Liberator Gunship to Strafing Gunship? You value ambush more than flexibility to target ground as well?

[@Thorrk_THT]

Absolutely yes, Starfing gunship is way too slow imo, and the ability is relatively situational.

[@DietrichSz]

@@Thorrk_THT Thanks and what about change of heart, I believe you had 1 copy in 1 iteration, why did you end up cutting it?

[@Thorrk_THT]

@@DietrichSz Change of heart is very good against Control deck that play a lot of units, but not so good against the unit less control deck we have seen. With that being said, if you are in a meta with a lot of krennic green, Vader Green and Palpatine I would definitely consider have some change of heart instead of the prepare to take off.

[@DietrichSz]

@@Thorrk_THT Thanks, I believe main control deck in my meta has been blue vader recently

[@WoodAvenger]

Hello few questions about some units, why no: *Rogue Operative: 4 health for 3 that can be out turn 1 for a secured resupply without loosing the board turn 2 *Ezra : 4 body for 3 and pssibility to draw, cheat actions * gamorrean guards: sentinel to protect Han from ECL *R2/C3PO: for the draw and the 4 body *Fleet lieutnant: for the action cheat and boost on droids *Wing leader: for the boost on uWing I love your deck, i'm testing as much as i can but not enough IMO, hence wondering if you alreaDy have a strong opinion on all those options, 1 by 1. AGAIN Thanks and congrats for all your work and good results.

[@Oneidos_Gaming]

So i guess Han did shoot first AND double tapped? 😅

[@davidvelazquez677]

Curious how you feel about Strafing Gunship against aggro

[@Thorrk_THT]

Too slow, liberator gunship is much better imo

[@terrorshard2916]

What about fitting cunnings in the main deck? Maybe trade out 2 traitorous for 2 cunning?

[@savagedragn]

We saw this in another Han deck highlighted recently for doing well. I ran it at locals and the cunning’s were excellent.

[@superbocky9891]

If I dont have the three falcon but still want to play this deck for fun, which cards should replace the falcons?

[@Thorrk_THT]

Liberator gunship is the prefect replacement for falcon.

[@Watchmyarm]

What about cunning out of aspect? What to do against mill decks as han?

[@Thorrk_THT]

Cunning out of aspect is good , but I tend to avoid playing non unit card unless necessary. Mill decks are control deck, so you deal with them just like any other control deck

[@jonunciate7018]

I've always found waylay to be a bit underwhelming compared to playing a unit. Is it really worth running a playset?

[@Thorrk_THT]

Absolutely yes it deals with a lot of threat that cannot be dealt with otherwise, and works perfectly into our tempo gemplan. Without waylay the deck would concede on A-wing + wing leader and would have a terrible MU against Luke green.

[@SwuTrader]

What is your thought about cunning vs controll decks

it's good but in Han I try to limit the amount of event becasue U-wing.
