Star Wars Unlimited Draft (Spark of Rebellion) - 20240627

Last Draft of the set at Pastimes
2-1 Yellow Tarkin
Selected leaders
Tarkin - Wanted to secure Tarkin as I expected the person to the left of me to select him over IG-88 and Sabine. This would have allowed me to stifle Green Black, but he went Sabine instead.
IG-88 - Debated going double Tarkin to prevent being undercutted on Green Black, but with a potential Chirrut as my 3rd pick, I wanted to keep options open.
Chirrut - At least this left me Heroism options so that I wasn’t fully committed to Villainy. Haven’t used him before, but his abilities and body seem very poor for limited.
Person to the right of me ended on
Tarkin
Iden
Sabine
P1P1 - Took the money card in Luke Skywalker even with overwhelming barrage available. Luke is a powerful card in his own right, but with my only heroic leader being Chirrut, it would be harder to win with his lackluster abilities in limited.
G1 - Blue Boba (L)
G2 - Blue Sabine (W)
G3 - Blue Sabine (W)
Bonus Game against 3-0 Pod Winner - Green Krennic

Luke Skywalker in first pack! I drafted this monday and also drafted luke in first pack exepct i had him in hs

Yeah. Great P1P1. Too bad I didn’t have a better leader to leverage it, but I was tempted to try.

Watched all of your drafts and most of the time agree. Wish you would have went full chirrut mode for this one tho. Seemed like you really wanted to.

[@xelephanor1404]

Honestly, if I saw some more power cards in blue/heroism, I would have. Takedown, Vanquish, Yoda, Dodonna, Kanan, or Ghost would have led me to commit harder while picking up those Battlefield Marines. When I finally saw the Kanan, it was a little too late to pivot again.

@@xelephanor1404 that’s fair. I do wonder if going repairs and other heals is a viable way to go in draft with him. You know you will always have chirrut on his flip turn

[@xelephanor1404]

@@patrickduke5964Fair. Not too sure how to optimize him without leaning hard into upgrades and heals. Even then, he’s so susceptible to removal. Reviewing my game matches, I went up against Blue Boba, Blue Sabine, Blue Sabine, and the 3-0 pod winner was Green Krennic. I’m glad I pivoted away from Chirrut as this explains the dearth of the Blue power cards.
