- Matty and BobbySapphire sit down with Danny Schaefer, the lead Designer of Star Wars Unlimited to jam games and talk about all things design! Bobby faces off against Danny's Cassian Yellow deck with Casino Han and Command Chewie! There's even a hint at a potential set two card, let us know what you think!
Thanks to Mister for filming, editing, and being an all around amazing friend.
Thanks to Tyler and Corey from FFG for reaching out and hanging out at PAX East!
I'm new to TCGs, and this game has me and a bunch of fellas hooked. Love going to our local brewery sitting down talking cards and playing matches.
That sounds awesome. Alcohol and Star Wars TCG 💪
Gameplay AND an interview? These are the vids I’m looking for!
Production quality of this video is off the charts!
Thanks man, Kyle is killing it!
Super cool interview btw thank you!
Nice! Feel validated by my interest in a Cassian deck :)
Great video. I got to play against him on Friday at PAX.
A+ content been waiting for this one all week! The KTOD crew is my favorite SWU content farm by far!
Wow thanks so much for saying that!
Are you guys by chance from the Philly area of PA?
@@muffinsfromsparta we are from Massachusetts
aaaaand we have IG-11 spoilered!!
❤😅
Turns out he DOES damage to all enemies!
Great video, would love to see Danny’s list
This was a great interview and gameplay. Thanks for posting! I was excited to hear you guys talk about my boy Palp a bit at the end. Ever since the game came out I've been working on mono green Palp and I really want to take it to a competitive event to see how it does (there just aren't any near me atm). Also really cool to see Cassian gameplay. I like seeing/hearing more about the more slept on leaders/archetypes
Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with the Command Palp deck!
You guys created a very cool game 👌
Great interview, its always so fun seeing how the designers interact with interviewers and the game! Can I have this Han list?
It's on swudb.com under hot decks. Called casino han. We have some shorts about it. Check them out!
@@SWU_KTOD thanks a lot, will do!
love the 90s swccg deck boxes. good times
SWCCG OTSD boxes, FTW. I keep my decks in those boxes, too.
The goat. I meant to show it off in my intro. I had to climb into the attic to find the chewie one :)
Such nice chance to ask some good question.. Did they provided you with what you can ask or what?
1.Why Boba fet has such stats and comes at turn 5 while similar stats heroes comes in 6 like Jyn or Casian for example?
2.Which hero is that one to work with Galactic ambition?
3.Will there be more cards like Slave 1 that are really strong in specific heroes, so works kinda like specialization??
4.Will you be brininging force speed to ruin game again?...
5.How soon will we have space leaders?
6.Will Mando be a hero or villain? Or both? or there will be two versions?
7.Will there be new types of cards like artifacts/enchantment that you are not playing on units?
All good questions, we tried to keep it casual and not ask anything that might make Danny uncomfortable. We didn't get any restrictions
Some of these are baffling, like wtf were they thinking when they chose boba stats, power, cost etc...
Or not having leaders like han, thrawn or tarkin be able to deploy in space (they're kinda known for that).
Recruit feels like a great card in Boba, especially for players like me that have a small collection. Boba being able to get me that resource back or Bib Fortuna making Recruit free, really helps me dig to the best units I happen to own. Someday I hope to use Recruit to dig for the best unit for the situation 😂
I like that plan!
Andor yellow is very good, folks. Try it.
It is so hard to find a cassian build that works
There is so much in this video… I feel like he was hinting at what leaders will be good without saying it. Could be reading into it but I think Vader might become one of the best leaders.
Can you guys do me a big one and share the setup you're using for the top-down view of the gametable? I've been looking to get something sturdy yet mobile and compact. Yours looks like it might just fit the bill!
It's literally just a tripod with a 90 degree setting and it's on the table. I bought a phone extension at Walmart. Super simple!
I'm sure it's un intentional but at 14:59 he puts down 2 cards into resource.
Good catch. Not sure why I put down a second one lol. Luckily game was over and it didn't matter but good catch and thanks for letting me know
I do have one question I still have yet to find the answer to, let’s say Luke Skywalker shields 3 different units and then you put in a unit that gives two exp upgrades. Is there a limit? Am I technically able to carry as many shield/exp upgrades as I want?
I have yet to see a rule that limits upgrades. You can even have multiple shields.
saboteur text is also "defeat the defender's shieldS", so it was always on the designers mind that you can have multiple. It's not very thematic having one unit with 4 lightsabers :D but sometimes thematic options have to be sacrificed for a cleaner, simpler ruleset
Where can we get the SWU lanyard?!
There are lots of goodies if you show up to an event!
Great vid! Did you get Danny's Cassian deck list?
We did!
Awesome. Would love to check it out!
Would love to have a look at it too. Love they idea of lots of low cost units combined with card draw 🙂
Plus 1 the cassian deck, would also love a ktod deck tech with how he would optimise it (because I doubt the staff were playing top tuned decks to make sure its a fun casual setting for everyone ye know? )
Thanks :)
@@culchiepaints6185 we reached out and got Danny's list and Matty is doing this exact thing. Getting some games going to do a decktech
Rebel Chewie confirmed
What was the secret spoiler??
It's in there :)
IG-11 will be in the next set and absolutely have a "when defeated" ability to deal damage to other units...🤣
Make IG-88 great ! He really needs some love.
Lol good luck!
@@SWU_KTOD Yeah need some of that too lol
Did you cheat at min 14:58 ? You put 2 ressources on this turn or did I miss something ? I thought you can put 2 rss only turn 1.
A mental mistake at the end of the game. Interviewing and playing is hard. Luckily it did not affect the game.
Interesting that Iden was thought to be strong early doors. Personally I think that she's a bit over-hyped compared to Krennic.
In the Aggro or Boba match up she is good but she is far too susceptible to takedown.
Dooku is too expensive.
tokens cringe just use dice haha
let people use what they want ?
