I should talk to my local store. I wasn’t super interested at first but I don’t mind playing a competitive game here and there and the mechanics actually look kinda fun.

Went to prerelease.

Game was a blast. Went 2 for 3. First game I ran IG-88 and lost and really just didn’t pay attention to deck building. I switched to Vader and changed out some of my cards and it went a lot better. Vader was a monster. Both games he was able to take out opponent weenie cards and then kept up with chip damage.

There’s a lot of strategy and we had a blast. There was only 4 of us, but it was a good time. Felt sorry for one guy cause he went 0-3 while we all went 2-1 (I got tiebreaker and technically was first)

All the people I played at the promo event thought the art looked fine. It also looks a bit better when it’s on a card in front of you instead of on a screen as well.

I honestly don’t care. I managed to play original Sentinels of the Multiverse and the art on that was dire.

Well one thing I didn’t realize is that Leader Showcase cards were a thing.

I was playing in a draft tonight and a bunch of guys were buying boxes (one dude there is nuts. He was literally just giving away any card that wasn’t a foil or alt art as he was looking to get a full set of all cards in the game) so I broke down and bought a second box.

I got Boba Fett showcase. Turned it around on the spot to the owner for 400$ in store credit. I looked at my other box and my other Showcase is Sabine Wren who also is apparently worth a ton of money.

If I got out right now, I would be on top. Haha. I don’t think I’ll buy another box, but I’ll save the credit for when the next boxes come and probably use it to buy 2 sets there.

If you weren’t aware, Showcases are 1 in 12 boxes.

Oh really? I am 2 for 2. Lol.

I played against my friend yesterday with a Vader deck I made. I absolutely crushed him. I really like Vader as a Leader. Constant chip damage is good to pull off. Deck is all about smashing guys and also exhausting or sending back to hand.

Hopefully will do better than I did the draft. I also built a Spectre deck for fun. I don’t think it will be as good but still looks fun to play.

Oh, is Vader as a unit expensive? I decided to buy a 3rd box and got him. No showcases this time around, but that made up for it.
