Great Video! Background music a bit to load for my taste 🙂

[@L8NightGaming]

Agreed

[@erinofsteel]

Sunny is the best player I have faced, and this deck is incredible. Love the insight and congrats man, well deserved!! 🔥

[@ibigamez8256]

My boy Sunny!

[@NuclearNova_]

Just sleeved this up! I am going to give it a go on Thursday, it looks super fun with lots of different lines to follow

[@DarthSid]

Very nice Video! I really enjoyed the Han green with Sundeep and this one even more. Lots of inspiration and lots of great insights! Thx a lot for sharing your insights with us! 😊

[@marcjohnson4677]

Watching this video, I was like, I know this name but from where? Then Sunny mentioned Orange Roshi. I miss Panini DBZ

[@jaywakefield1136]

palp yellow is my favorite. the strongest and funnest palp for sure.

[@bsjohnston]

Why do you blast the music while people are talking?

[@iam1hobbit]

Are there any videos of this deck in action?

[@jaygriffiths100]

You mentioned a lack of Space Sentinels in your colors...Have you considered the neutral Corellian Freighter?

[@sunnyd2293]

I did! But it comes out too late to address the problem. Ideally would need a 3 or 4 cost space sentinel. Next set has Black Sun Starfighter.

[@Ilovetoplayjazz]

@@sunnyd2293 Hi Sunny! Any ideas on an updated list for set 2? Thanks so much for sharing your insight!

[@damiencrews7603]

No stormtrooper lieutenant for sneak attack vader combo?

[@sunnyd2293]

The card is for sure cool in situations. I actually tested it with Red, but not my Yellow version.

[@MeepleonFire]

Wow 6 wins against aggro! All Sabines? They were good players? How do you deal with a turn 2 wing leader on A wing or a Falcon? Why no waylay? What card did you replace for the Tie Advanced? thanks :)

[@sunnyd2293]

Good question regarding Wing Leader. That starting line is especially tough for this deck, but if you can claim early with a Tie LN, followed by shoot first you deal with it well. Otherwise you need to mitigate as much damage as possible by healing using Yularen or take it our by turn 3/4 with pings from Palpatine effect/ISB and a possible Sneak Attack trade. Waylay does have merit in the deck to combat the Wing Leader line for example, but generally you would rather trade units, leave some damaged units on board, and progress your own game (ex: ramping with Resupply/Superlaser Tech, building board presence with Guards/Yularen) over spending 3 resources to bounce in the mid game. For 2 Tie Advanced, I am currently trying out both Tarkin units in the side (which can be a direct swap at 4 resources when playing control) and no Seventh Fleet Defender. The last card to fill out could be a 3rd ISB agent (for another Tie Advanced buffable early unit) or a 3rd Cell Block Guard/3rd Sneak Attack.

[@MeepleonFire]

@@sunnyd2293 thanks so not really happy with seven fleet then? Seems a bit slow but really good to pull off with Vader. So against aggro, you have time to ramp? I played palp blue for a long time with a lot of heal and it was very hard.

[@sunnyd2293]

@@MeepleonFire Yeah exactly, Seventh Fleet Defender is such a strong card in a vacuum, but it sometimes competes with other plays on curve. There's so many options to prioritize at 3 and 4 resources over it, so it may not be needed. Ramping vs aggro is usually still done, but the point at which you ramp differs depending on the game scripts. If you started wide turn 1 with two of Greedo/Tie Ln/ISB Agent for example, you may feel like you have enough on board to play Resupply or Superlaser Tech turn 2, especially if you can follow with Traitorous, exhaust or a ping trade play turn 3. If you start Yularen, you may play Superlaser Tech turn 2 as well for a heal after their first attack and have a trade or ping play turn 3. Otherwise, sometimes you delay playing those ramp cards till closer to the flip turn (instead walling up/disrupting tempo) and catch opponents off guard turboing from 5/6-8 fairly quickly.

[@MeepleonFire]

@@sunnyd2293 what cards do you remove for your sideboard against aggro? The reason would be to remove devastator but it won me a game against aggro by locking up space against falcon.

[@sunnyd2293]

​​@@MeepleonFireI do side out Devastators vs Aggro. I also side out Tarkin unit, sometimes Veers/1 Command/3rd Walker based on play patterns I recognize from my opponent.

[@tom4027]

Why no boba fett? :o

[@sunnyd2293]

Boba Fett is another stellar unit in a vacuum, but does compete with the other plays at 3 resources (Superlaser Tech, Resupply, 3 cost sentis or 1s/2s + Palpatine effect). It would definitely be worth it in builds that run more of the yellow package and less of the imperial/official synergy.
