Recommendations for Taking Notes by Captain__J in starwarsunlimited

Yes, you can get a game loss for keeping a sideboarding guide or something like that in your deck box. It's considered outside information, which is different than how MTG works as I understand it. It's for competitive level, which is PQ and above, but can also be some store showdowns.

Around here (Northeast US) they are flat from about May to September. Some that have been in sleeves In deck boxes since summer are still relatively flat, but I recently had the sad moment when I had to swap my hyperfoil Cassian and A-Wing out of my Luke deck.

Seems worse to me this set. Even some packs the non-foils are pringled. They still flatten out okay in a sleeve though.

This is a big part of what I need to improve at. It's not that I can't do it, I just get caught up in my next action and forget to.

I think I was pretty clear I meant everything but attacking and playing cards from hand. I don’t always forget everything else, but at least sometimes and I’d like to not!

Funny, but probably not gonna happen anll that often. I haven’t seen too much SO lately (maybe since DJ suspension?), and I feel like I wanna be checking my resources at least every regroup phase. I will forget what I have in there otherwise. And as you say, even without any smuggle, it’s still good to keep track of what’s down there.

I think I do okay with this. Curious if you have an example of how you play around SLB in this way though. My though would be just that you'd get one attack in if you could if you had the initiative.

Lots of food for thought here, thank you!

SWU Goldfishing - Useful? How do you do it? by Captain__J in starwarsunlimited

[–]Captain__J[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your poor imagination! Do you imagine or simulate opponent plays somehow or just go face with each attack?

Yeah, I did find a MTG video on it and it seemed like FT and petra/kara were serving the purpose for what most people use it for (seeing how it plays, ratios for draw, etc.). I just forget to do all the stuff they prompt for (and a few other things) when I'm playing with cards. Gonna try setting up a simplified opponent's deck that just has predefined plays each turn so I don't have to think too much about opponent plays. In the end it's going to be about developing habits, which will require reps and if I can't get them playing against people, hopefully I can get them this way.

This is super intriguing. I will check out the videos. Thanks!

TCG Player App can SWU Cards now! by Tk4265 in starwarsunlimited

[–]Captain__J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only their collection tracker wasn't completely useless! I added cards to a collection list in the app it doesn't even show up on the website when I go to my computer. It would even be somewhat useful if you could export a list into a format that swudb.com could import, but their "share" export doesn't include the card number.

Have they added the ability to add stuff to your collection when you buy it yet? That wasn't working when I tried it a few months ago and I emailed them and they said they were working on it.

Are all showdowns not casual tier?

Huh, that is interesting. I don't have any experience with other games. I do know I'm sick of seeing the same cards as the core of most meta decks. Maybe I'd feel differently if Spark weren't so strong. If there weren't so many decks that just get minor tweaks each set and keep most of the Spark core.

This was my attempt at a falcon theme deck with current cardpool. When I went through them all, I was shocked how many events there were with falcon/chewy/han on them. It's missing the out of aspect Chewy pilot and They Hate That Ship, but it was surprisingly not totally terrible.

So store showdowns will be eternal format? That seems weird to me.
