Top 64 Worlds Tournament Report – Rami Chehouri

October 28, 2019 · by masterluk126

Today’s article comes to you from Rami Chehouri, Destiny Council member and a key part of our core test group. He piloted Han Droids to a Top 64 finish at Worlds, where he was knocked out by Mike Gemme. Read on for his recounting of the action!

First and foremost, I want to congratulate my teammate Andrew on his worlds win. He’s a really talented player, and he constantly makes you consider scraping your deck after testing against him. Andrew and I were pretty set on chopper weeks before worlds. I dabbled with Reylo and 4LOM a bit but both felt underwhelming. We had a prime the weekend before and decided to just play Reylo to keep the list off streams. Of course Andrew took me out in the cut of the prime. Luke’s Han deck had started coming to form a couple weeks before worlds and after the prime win, I wanted to explore it further. After some testing games, I decided I wanted to play Han. Partly because the Reylo matchup felt much easier than with chopper. Roy Wilkins Auditorium is only about 2 miles from my house, so I was able to grab a Lime and scooter back and forth.

Road to Worlds 2019 – Holocron Changes

September 25, 2019 · by masterluk126

Holocron changes are on the way, and they are significant enough to impact the Worlds meta. The changes are:

+1 BOF to C-3PO
Errata to Wat Tambor, so that his Power Action only works with Red supports
Ewok Warrior and Arena of Death restricted so that you cannot play them together
DDO added to the restricted list, so that you cannot play it with C-3PO
Phasma2 removed from BOF

Road to Worlds 2019 – eJabba/Wat/Sentinel

September 15, 2019 · by masterluk126

Ever since Snoke stepped onto the scene, big villain supports has been a prominent archetype in the Destiny meta. This culminated with the dominance of Snoke/Watto/FOST in the Convergence meta. But with nerfs to Snoke and Watto, and the introduction of Desperate Measures as an easy way to blow up those big supports, there was a question mark as to whether or not these decks would continue to be a force in the meta. We should never have doubted. eJabba/Wat/Sentinel has become the big villain support lineup of choice, and it has seen multiple decks in the top cut of Gen Con, Euros, and Nova. I consider it one of the top 3 decks in the format, and it’s one that should most certainly be included in your gauntlet as you prepare for Worlds!

Road to Worlds 2019: Rey Kylo

September 8, 2019 · by destinycouncil

Today we’re going to be taking a look at Reylo in our Road to Worlds series. It’s a solid deck and definitely worth testing with and against. This is especially true as we sit here waiting to see if any nerfs come through pre-worlds. If they do, Reylo is likely to sneak by unscathed and come out as the new top dog. So if for no other reason than that your villain supports and hero droid decks could get nerfed, be sure to have this deck in your worlds prep.

Nova Recap: Top 16 Rey Kylo

September 5, 2019 · by destinycouncil

Rey Kylo is deemed by many to be tier 1.5, and yet continues to show up in top cuts. While it doesn’t quite have the straight broken mechanics of villain supports or droids, what it does have is some incredibly solid characters. It executes the middle middle game plan almost perfectly, but the deck still wouldn’t be able to stand against the best if it wasn’t for the potential 1+ extra dice it gets a round from the specials. With both Rey and Kylo’s dice having the potential to “go infinite”, the deck can straight roll itself into wins. It’s this infinite potential that made me want to give the deck a run at Nova. This will be a brief tournament recap but that’s because I’m hoping to start my Road To Worlds article here shortly!
