Exploring Way of the Force: Executioners

August 28, 2018 · by masterluk126

Early results from the Way of the Force meta are in, and it appears we are living in a 3-wide meta – 12 of the top 16 decks from UK Nationals last weekend were 3-wides, leaving no doubt that wider decks have taken over the meta. This leaves effects that trigger after character deaths in a great spot. Previous cards like Aftermath and Bala-Tik should pick up more value in this meta, and I expect them to start to see more play. But there’s an additional card that triggers after death, one that more recently came onto the destiny scene – the Executioner. The Executioner has been overlooked thus far, seen as a pretty average non-unique character, similar to a FOST but costing 1 additional point. But with the meta in 3-wide mode, the Executioner suddenly becomes a lot more spicy, with opportunities for multiple procs of the passive in a game. As such, we’ve been exploring some builds including Executioners in the lead-up to NOVA, and are excited to share them with you. Hope you enjoy!

Exploring Way of the Force: Re-examining the Soldier of Necessity

July 18, 2018 · by masterluk126

As Jon and I continue to explore the possibilities with Way of the Force, I thought I’d revisit a character from Legacies who failed to live up to his legendary status: Fin – Soldier of Necessity. I’ve always felt that his die is extremely strong for his point cost (4 sides with value 2 or higher), but try though I might I could not quite get him over the hump in the Legacies meta. I tried both Finn/Han2 and Finn/Luke2 extensively, and while both decks were good, they were not Tier 1 quality. With a new set and new potential partners, let’s see what we might be able to cook up in the Way of the Force meta.

Exploring Way of the Force: Character Tier List

July 11, 2018 · by masterluk126

In today’s article, I attempt a totally unscientific and doubtlessly premature ranking of the characters from Way of the Force, separating them into tiers based on how likely I think they are to find their way into Tier 1 decks. Let the speculation begin!

Exploring Way of the Force: Golden Age of Padawans?

July 6, 2018 · by masterluk126

The Padawan is one of those characters that’s been lurking around the fringe of the Destiny meta ever since the beginning. They have an amazing ability (essentially an extra resource), but their low health has kept them from really shining. But with every new set, and new weapons to added to the toolbox, we have to re-examine the Padawans, to see if they have crossed the threshold into Tier 1. Many have already speculated on the power of Padawans with Plo Koon, and I agree that this has the potential to be amazing (4 extra resources!!). But in the effort of avoiding redundancy, I’m going to go a different route: yellow (golden, if you will) Padawan decks.
