45:20 Make An Oppening kills Lurking TIE Phantom same for Snoke. It's 0/0 and it'll defeat it not the card ability

Great video and channel!

I love phantom tie fighter. Hard control needs answers

I think you might have misread Rose Ticos ability. She removes the shield of a unit, and boosts the unit from which she removed the shield by 2xp, not herself (unless she removes her own shield). She cant become super big by removing shields from other units as you seem to suggest. Apologies if I misunderstood what you meant.

I'm sorry, but what does "agency" mean in the context of this game?

Agree with a lot of this. Was not terribly excited for set 2 overall and prerelease didn't change that drastically

I think aggro could work, I won 1 event 4-0 with aggro Han yellow, and even got a turn 4 kill to avoid Rey flipping, but I did notice the general trend of grindier decks, Rey in particular, doing really well. In my other 2 events I went 3-1 and 2-1 both times losing to the Rey green that won overall. Aggro wouldn't be my choice, but I had rough card pools that forced it. That 4-0 deck had 0 rares, but I did get 2 5/6 Freighters, which is kind of a bomb for sealed. I do agree the tribal thing seems unfortunately rng rough for limited formats, like I never got upgrades, so Mando was out. SOR felt like more cards were passable on their own while SOTG feels more like interesting things to build around in constructed. Will see after doing a few drafts. My larger (now too late) concern for those prereleases was, did the boxes seem very clumpy to you or people at your store? 2 of my 3 boxes were like 90% the same cards with Snoke (seriously, I have 2 copies of almost every rare I own despite so few packs) and the person seated next to me at one of them also got a Snoke box and ran nearly the same deck. Then 2 people seated next to us played mirror Rey green decks...It could just be rng, but made it feel like there were only a couple box content sets instead of completely random packs.

I feel like he's sleeping hard on Ray raya's leader is really really stronger than people give her credit for

I think this set’s design reflects its flavor: scrappy underworld elements coming together to create something bigger than themselves. The sealed format was fine. There was some good tabletop play going on, but like any limited format, the bombs are impactful and often game winning. My hope is that Draft is actually quite enjoyable because of the tribal nature. Getting hooked up with a Bo Mando deck is going to be a fun rememberable experience. As for power creep, we’ll have to wait and see as the horses haven’t even left the line. SWU Set 1 has some good meta shifts between Aggro, Midrange, and Control. Boba flooded top 8 early, but that was tempered by reactive changes. As for Darksaber, it actually isn’t that crazy. It’s +4/+3 at 4 where Wing Leader is +2/+2 at 3 with a body and two different upgrades. The same tools that worked on Sabine @ 4 will work the same way. I look forward to your SWU commentary in the future and look forward to you finding fun and enjoyment with the game.

Didn't use caveat correctly here but I think intention of use is clear.

How do you mitigate the downside of evazan?

Great video. Certainly helped me get 4-0 with Cad Bane yesterday.

Great video man!

You make very good videos with excellent points, but I fear they might be too long. Most SWU videos I see are like 20 minutes tops.

Mon Mothma?

Hey man, great video recap of the event and your thoughts process behind your deck selection. Only thing to note throughout the video is the midrange deck that you faced twice was a krennic and not an iden. Would have been the same outcome as you mentioned it had no answer to hard control and was a gamble I decided to take. This was my first store showdown and I had a blast, great event.
