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.

Beating OTK – Deck Suggestions

November 26, 2018 · by masterluk126

The introduction of Across the Galaxy has seen all sorts of wildness enter the game. Double Down, -1 plots, Vader, and all sorts of pushed characters. Much of this wildness has been good and exciting, and I have loved playing ATG. But, a negative aspect of this wildness has been the introduction of more OTK decks – decks that seek to kill you in one round by drawing their whole deck and abusing a few cards. No one likes these decks (they’re awful to play against), and I am confident that some errata attempting to curve these decks will come – but FFG is notoriously slow at putting out errata, so it’s tough to be sure when changes might come. So, in the mean time, I consider it my public duty to help keep these decks off the table. Today’s article will look at some decks that I think can beat these OTK decks, hopefully giving those of you with an early Regional or GQ some ideas as you prepare. (Full disclosure: I have not tested extensively against the new OTK decks, so take this advice with a grain of salt. However, these decks are where I would start if I was preparing for a Regional in the next few weeks, and I think this is a good place to start if you’re looking for ways to beat OTK decks.)

Across the Galaxy: Armored Reinforcement

November 15, 2018 · by masterluk126

Across the Galaxy has given us quite the crop of new plots to experiment with. So far, the majority of the attention has gone to Double Down and the -1 plots, and rightly so – these plots expand our options tremendously! In the hype over these crazy plots, a potentially excellent plot that has been left behind – Armored Reinforcement (though, to be fair, it has started to get some love since I started writing this post!). In today’s post, I’m going to talk about Armored Reinforcement, and what vehicles might be worth tutoring in at the beginning of the game.

Across the Galaxy: Character Tier List

November 4, 2018 · by masterluk126

Now that all of the characters for Across the Galaxy have been revealed, I will attempt my totally nonscientific and doubtlessly premature ranking of the characters from the set (look back at my Way of the Force article to see how I did there!). Without further ado:
