I've played with and against this a bit (since the preview of the Phantom/Triple Dark combo I was playing around). It seems like it is losing more than it is winning to Boba Green and I expect Boba Green to stay in the meta for a few months. Surprise Strike on a 3 cost space unit on turn 3, Waylay, NG2MD, Firespray ability, etc... It also is getting creamed by Kylo (both double Aggression and Aggression / Cunning), and I expect to see Rylo in the early Meta. To me, that makes it a fun deck, but not one that will go to the top 8 in a large tournament often. One option to consider here is Legal Authority. I am generally not a fan of capture, but your plan here it to build a big unit that can survive combat and not be countered. Legal Authority gives that unit +2 health, removes a threat (which could be that enemy space unit, a big ground unit, or a utility card with a timing concern like Regional Governor), and at worst is effectively an exhaust against the targeted enemy unit for a 'mini NG2MD'. It is also useful in mirror. I'd prefer it to Swoop Down because I want to be going to base and 1 Sabotage round is not enough of a benefit when I am going to base. Perhaps The Swoop Down is needed for anti-aggro, but I found the Ren Aggro had enough counters to your low cost units that it was too slow for a 'combo' card to work. Regardless, I worked this into my deck recently and it is not coming out to see if it is useful as a turn 5+ play. I'd also think about what Smuggling Compartment does for you - getting that 3 cost unit up to 6 or 7 health ASAP is important and that card pays for itself. I might shave the top end and remove some Piett. I've found I get more benefit on turns 5 and 6 out of depleting my hand, using Tarkin, etc... than I get out of dropping a big card. I'm betting that you'll end up resourcing Piett if you draw him early 99% of the time with this deck - but I can see a lot of early combos where that Smuggling compartment makes a big difference in the early game if it gets to attack even once. Option 1: Drop it on the Tie on Turn 1 allows you to hit harder on 2 and buff your Phantom on play. Option 2 (best option): If you drop it on the Phantom on turn 3, Triple Dark for the Advanced, then Tarkin the Phantom you end up with a 5/5 by the end of 3 and can take it to early in 4 and 9/9 by the time you attack. Option 3 is usually just to resource it later in the game. For my deck the optimal three turn draw so far has been Tie/Smuggling, Phantom/Smuggling, Triple Dark(Advanced)/Tarkin ability/(any 1 cost). I also experimented with Mining Guild Tie over ISB because I was finding the ISB irrelevant too often, Mining Guild can be a threat to enemy space units that prevents them from using a Green Squadron to remove your Phantom fast enough (at times), and it has later game value as I do deplete my hand with this deck in many games. I'm running 1 in my deck with more in the sideboard.

The MU might be not great for Tarkin vs Kylo since it's a race but I am confident that tarkin vehicle is in general a FAR better deck than the Kylo Ren decks I have seen. Also, the deck is kicking ass left and right in the TTI top cut at the moment, will see how it goes. The MU against boba can be difficult, but you know what other deck has a difficult MU against Boba? Sabine. Didn't prevent it from being one of the most successful decks in the meta. Tons of cards can be tried, I like the idea of legal authority and would definitely like to try it. However, I am pretty confident that smuggling compartments and mining guild tie fighters are not good enough for the deck.

Thank you for showing this very interesting deck and I can't wait to try it! What is your opinion on "A New Adventure" for this deck? Yes, it is out of aspect but considering you have a lot of great synergy with your "When played" cards
@Thorrk_THT3 ай бұрын
Thanks for your kind words :) A new adventure is already not that amazing in a double cunning deck because it's quite situational if you have to pay the aspect penalty then it's asbolutely terrible. The best thing you can reactivat with it is a tie advanced, but then why not just play a tie advanced for the same cost? For the effect to be worth it you need to reactivate an effect that is worth 4 resources and there is nothing worth that cost in the deck (or in the game for that matter)

I've been trying the Gideon Yellow version of this deck which allows you access to his Light Cruiser on TDR to bring back a unit and attack for 7 on your 6 resource turn. The biggest problem with these decks is not having initiative and your Incinerator Trooper and Tie Phantom becoming much worse on T1 and T2 since they can be easily traded into at start of turn.
@Thorrk_THT3 ай бұрын
that's why we have many other T1 and T2 play . Gideon cruiser is very good but the Tarkin's ability is really the glue that makes this deck work. And that's why I prefered tarkin version of this deck over boba.
@lucasbockhorst41913 ай бұрын
@@Thorrk_THT Yeah I've playtested more Tarkin Yellow and probably is just better than Gideon. I found myself with 1 resource left quite often in both decks and obviously Tarkin is able to effectively use that situation more to his advantage. The ISB agent is critical at dealing with shielded units and works a lot better if you can buff him T1. Thanks for the reply.

I'm wondering about that Arquiens Assault Cruiser. Could an out of aspect Ruthless Raider do the same job? It has a great ETB-effect that can inconvenience grounds units as well as direct damage to close out games, it's imperial and can be boosted by Tarkin, and you can find it earlier with Tripple Dark Raid
@Thorrk_THT3 ай бұрын
The fact that the raider is imperial really doesn't matter since it's a late game unit. You still have to pay for aspect penalty when you play from Triple Dark Raid. Advantage of the Arquitens (assuming triple dark raid which is the way it's supposed to be played): - 7/8 instead of 4/6 , so even with the ETB a ready arquitens swings for more. - The ramp is actually super relevant, you triple dark raid for 6, ambush kill something ramp to 7, get the arquitens back in hand and then replay it the turn after for 8. -Arquitens has the option to attack right away with ambush no need to wait an action. So there might be situations where out of aspect raider might be better, but overall I think arquitens is slightly better.
