alg posted:Practiced for the tournament on Saturday tonight. 3 people playing the same Jedi/Sith decks that have been common for a year+ :/ Your group had this problem before, right? We haven't even gotten the latest pack and Nar Shadda Drift completely shook up our meta again. Large Jedi are on the backburner again and fighters with Talon Rolls and a couple tactics icons are super good. I think the biggest issues with Jedi is that MTFBWY is still an amazingly strong objective which gets around tactics. Palp is still good but Vader's set is really not very strong at the moment because the chances of vehicles is pretty likely too.

Yup. MTFBWY and that Teras Kasi objective wrecked me twice. Gonna play Sleuth Scouts just to gently caress with people

Poland Nationals really surprised me in terms of diversity. There were Rebel Speeders, TIEs, a Trooper deck, a tri-color deck*, Sith with Repair & Refurbish to complement Thrawn, Rebel Capital Ships with Jan Ors thrown in for some reason (and I think Gamor Run?). Myself I went with a Talon Karrde deck (I know no fear) and Black Sun Scum with 8 different sets (it made much more sense than it sounds like). Yeah, there were plenty of Jedi** and Sith, but overall it was a really cool and interesting event regarding the decks used. * Ok, this is kinda cheating because the third color was the Tattooine crash. ** Surprisingly, while A Hero's Beginning proved very popular, pairing it with the Falcon did not. As an aside, Moisture Vaporators are ridiculous with Freeholders, especially in multiplayer, where both opponents trigger your resource.

Lost a game on round 1 to the infinite Hobbie combo. I was kind of stunned that FFG hasn't errated it.

Ok, I think I found it. You need A Hero's Trial in play, Rogue Squadron X Wing with Hobbie attached, and Well Paid in hand. Play Well Paid, and you can discard and reattach Hobbie at will during conflict for infinite attacks. It's an infinite combo, but it requires all three factions and four specific cards. I can see it being unfun to play against if it goes off, but I'd imagine the deck would be pretty janky otherwise. e. If FFG decides this needs errata, I hope they just put a limit on something rather than resorting to the restricted list. FishFood fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Sep 17, 2015 |

I mean the chances of pulling it off are slim and yes it's janky as all hell but still wiped me out on round 1 and I had no defence.

Lichtenstein posted:A bit late, perhaps,but could you elaborate on what you guys cooked up with this set? I was running something along the lines of: Tat Crash x1 Nar Shaada Drift x2 Counsel of the Sith x2 Black Squadron Assault x2 Black Squadron Formation x2 Reconnaissance Mission x1 Jawas/Racing Swoops/Cut Off keep your opponents units locked down so your Tie Advanced/Vader's Tie, can destroy objectives. You have Twists, lots of tactics and you can cheap out objectives with a single fighter using BSA or Black Market Exchange. Recon gives you a couple great pieces of fodder for Black Market. Race Circuit Champion is a cheap strong defender as well. The deck usually either comes out really well, but when it dies a death it dies. I've found it really good against Jedi because they can't really handle tactics and particularly Cut Off is just devastating for them. MTFBWY is sadly still one of the better objectives against but what are you going to do, that objective set is just amazing. Anyway, this deck is really strong against a deck that peaks on turn 4 because this deck will force a turn 3 victory for the LS in most of the games I've played with it. If your opponent is light on stars and running a deck that can't flood the board with blockers: it's going to be in trouble. PaybackJack fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Sep 18, 2015 |

It was interesting but the games where I lost I just couldn't draw enough units to stem the tide of Rebel fighters enough to let Vader's TIE do some damage to enemy objectives. My LS deck was Sleuths. With Han and the Blockade set they are so fun.

It was interesting but the games where I lost I just couldn't draw enough units to stem the tide of Rebel fighters enough to let Vader's TIE do some damage to enemy objectives. Rebel fighters are definitely really good at the moment, I've been using this against a Jedi field. Against Rebel fighters, change affiliation to Scum and drop the Counsels for Slave Trades. The extra damage and cheap units will help more than the card draw from Counsel. We just got the new pack and the new Rebel and Smugglers objectives are really good. The first deck I built this weekend, crushed the deck I just posted on turn 2 because Well Paid is amazing. I'm guessing you guys have had Jump to Lightspeed for a while, we just got it this week and this weekend was our first time to test it out. Rebel deck is was: Smugglers Affiliation Attack Pattern Delta x2 Rogue Squadron Assault x2 That Bucket o' Bolts x2 Prepare for Evacuation x2 Heroes of the Rebellion x2 I considered Across the Anoat Sector for Sleuths but since our meta has been so heavily dominated by Fighters they didn't seem that useful in comparison to everything in PfE being really helpful in my meta.

@Alg, after seeing the top 8 from Nationals I feel your pain. Jedi seems too strong still and has enough force control and blast that it can walk through fighters and still win after losing of its own 3 objectives. I apologize for being dismissive of your situation with your playgroup and hope that there's at least a couple people in it that are willing to shake things up and try some of the new decks. I guess seeing Thrawn in a Sith deck is some kind of progress.

I'm thinking if they restricted MTFBY and have Rebels/Smugglers reliable ways to generate shields the ease of playing Jedi/Sith would even out. MTFBWY is the key. It just makes every other Jedi set even better.

If they add MTFBWY to the restricted list there's almost no Jedi decks that would be able to use it. It's already been errated to only work once a round. It's powerful but not enough to be game breaking like before the errata.

Then add in a 0 cost 2 force icon unit, a resource, and a Seeds is loving amazing. Even at once a turn it still solves Jedi's biggest problems which is dropping a giant unit and then being forced to choose between attacking or taking the force.

Preview for So Be It is up! Gladiators! Ewoks! Ackbar! Excitement! The Sithspawn set looks pretty cool, too. I'm sad it's Limit One so we can only have one of the Event and Resource, but three Units is pretty nice. Also happy to see more Sithspawn stuff so Pic and Gorc aren't by themselves. Combined with The Hutt's Menagerie, maybe we'll see some wacky DS Creature decks become a thing.

Imperial Entanglements is here!

Also Han. Haven't played with Han in a while.

alg posted:Pilot Han got restricted so he doesn't work with Dash anymore That's the problem with their restricted list is that it grows it will prevent a bunch of playable combos to stop one overly powerful combo. The easiest solution was to errata Hobbie or Hero's Trial to once per turn to stop that infinite combo, instead they throw two more objectives on the list and it makes for more of a head ache. Normally I'm a fan of errata, but the restricted list is about the worst way to go about it since it's really lazy.

World Champion decks Decklists were: Jedi 2x May The Force Be With You 2x The Survivors 2x A Hero's Trial 2x A Hero's Beginning 1x Mysteries at the Rim 1x Journey to Dagobah Scum 2x Behind the Black Sun 1x All Out Brawl 2x The Emperor's Web 2x Fall of the Jedi 2x Counsel of the Sith 1x Agent of the Emperor Jedi is pretty standard, I didn't see Mysteries at the Rim as being good enough to include but it does help the problem of enemy tactics icons. I like the mix of All out Brawl and Behind the Black Sun into the standard Sith stuff.

So I have the base set of this and my friends and I have really enjoyed playing it so far. Are there any highly recommended expansions (especially the smaller ones) to pick up, generally speaking? I like starships (especially rebels and/or capital ships), and like the idea of both scum/villainy and the smugglers, but I'm pretty open since I want a good variety of decks.

For Scum I would grab the 3rd Deluxe, Between the Shadows which is Jedi/Scum focused. For Pilots, everything in the last Cycle, the Rogue Cycle, is based around ships and pilots, though the Scum didn't get particularly good stuff there. For Smugglers you'll want the first Deluxe expansion Edge of Darkness, although you'll want 2 of them. For individual packs, Lure of Darkness for Dash Rendar, and Knowledge and Defense for Slave Trade are both pretty good.

This set looks ridiculous with the Guri set and All out Brawl. That said the objective is pretty awful as LS doesn't have a ton of Targeted Strike at the moment, certainly not compared to the DS now.
