Having Fun with Dryden Vos

February 7, 2019 · by masterluk126

Now that Regionals season is over for me, and with Convergence being at least a month away, it seems like as good a time as ever to bring out those characters I’ve been wanting to play that aren’t quite good enough for the competitive meta. At the top of that list for me is Dryden Vos. His special represents some crazy upside and encourages wacky deckbuilding, which makes him both a fun character to play and a fun character to deckbuild around. So though I don’t think he’ll ever approach Tier 1, I’ve always wanted to see what I could do with Vos. In today’s article (and hopefully at some locals in the coming weeks), I’m going to explore deckbuilding with Dryden Vos.

Evaluating the Across the Galaxy Meta

January 22, 2019 · by masterluk126

With the bulk of the regionals season behind us, we’re at a good point to evaluate the Across the Galaxy Meta. The last meta to include the Awakenings block, we’ve seen some serious abuse of some of the most busted cards to come out of the first few sets. From Friends in High Places, to Price of Failure, to Hyperspace Jump and Retreat – a number of cards have gone out with a bang. Not to mention the introduction of new meta defining cards like Vader’s Fist and Armored Reinforcement. While the meta hasn’t settled completely, I think we have a pretty good idea of what the meta is and what you should expect to see at the top tables. As I see it, there are two decks that have separated themselves from the field, one archetype poised to threaten the top decks, and a plethora of archetypes that have seen success but aren’t quite strong enough to garner Tier 1 status.

The Fastest Ship in the Galaxy – Is the ATG Falcon Actually Good?

January 8, 2019 · by masterluk126

At the Fargo Regional, I decided to run a 3-wide Lando deck, focused around getting out big vehicles and playing mods on them. Shadow Caster and N1-Starfighter are no-brainers in this archetype, but without Armored Reinforcement it became necessary to add some extra vehicles. The obvious decision would be to add the Legacies Falcon, which has proven itself to be a solid vehicle and a good tempo card. The ATG Falcon, at 6-cost, is widely regarded as too expensive to be worth playing. I decided to take it anyway, after a few play-throughs found me wanted a Falcon in my opening hand more than a Shadow Caster. In this article, I’m going to explain why the math checks out with the ATG Falcon – and why you should consider adding it in your Fat Vehicle decks.

Tournament Report: North Carolina Regional Finalist – YOLO

December 22, 2018 · by masterluk126

Today’s post is a tournament report by Russell Lindberg, who was the finalist at the North Carolina Regional. The deck he played – Yoda/Han – is one I’ve thought could be great ever since the announcement of the new Han. I haven’t had much chance to try the deck myself, so I was excited when he decided to play the deck, and especially excited to see him perform so well! I hope you enjoy his tournament report.

Vader is a Bad Man, and Other Observations from Wild West Weekend

December 18, 2018 · by masterluk126

This past weekend was the first set of Regionals in the ATG meta post Snoke and OTK nerf, and the meta was wide open. We saw all sorts of different decks make top cuts, and a variety of characters were represented. The Destiny Council participated in the Fargo regional (which Andrew won!), and it was a blast to see such a variety of decks perform well. Here is a summary of my thoughts from the Regionals results this weekend (results can be found at I Rebel Destiny).
