3-0 Red Boba deck

Also this is why I love drafts - so many ways to approach everything

[@xelephanor1404]

Definitely. Draft is my favorite format as it's always a new experience each time with how you respond to your pod and what decisions are made on the fly.

I paused before I saw your round one pic so this is my thought before seeing 2:46 I’m probably keeping the echo base defender - it gives you the Boba green option and also secures a strong early game card. I’ll keep giving my insight as I come up to each pick!

[@xelephanor1404]

Thanks for viewing. The echo base defender would have been a great pick if I was going Leia. I love leia but with the person to my left having all heroes (leia, hera, and jyn) and the person to my right having all heroes (Chewbacca, Han, and can't recall their 3rd hero), I wanted to lean into villainy early. Playing this card off aspect wouldn't be ideal so I wanted to snag bounty hunter crew early as there were two other boba's in the pod. This also allows me to keep an eye out for valuable events to recycle later on in the draft.

Pick 2 (basing off your first pick) 3:14 I think I’m leaning rogue or surprise strike and as I’m typing I’m finalizing SS in my head

Honestly, missing out of rogue skirmisher hurts here as that's such a powerful card and would have paired nicely with the echo base defender you mentioned for p1p1. Due to trying to avoid heroism, I went with Maximum Firepower since I had the Bounty Hunter Crew from p1p1, and I felt that I would see a good amount of villainy/imperial with the players to the left and right of me not having any villains in their selection pool. I'm still not sold on surprise strike since if I need to use it as removal, it's a 2 for 1, whereas the Maximum Firepower can typically take out a mid level unit and sometimes a leader while still leaving my units ready for an action.

How did it go? Post some gameplay as well

[@xelephanor1404]

I ended up 3-0 and winning the draft. Will need to look into a set up to record gameplay.

How did the games go with this deck?

[@xelephanor1404]

I went 2-0 in all three matches with the seventh fleet defender, interceptors, and the ruthless raider controlling the skies. What was a really powerful combination was playing crafty smuggler into fallen lightsaber. A 5/5 shielded character on T2 was difficult for opponents to remove efficiently.
