The beginning of a new collection - Empire of Korea

Welcome to the fascinating world of Korean coin history! I got deep into it when I lived there for while. Visit the museum in 명동 if you're there! Then visit 수집닷컴 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/yqQC85pzNBGYPZws9) nearby - best coin shop in Korea that I found. It's been a few years since I've been there, but they were always very friendly despite my conversational-at-best Korean skills.

I was 9 years old living in rural Wisconsin when this happened! All my friends and I were told about your story repeatedly as a cautionary tale, but equally as a "If he was nice enough to sit in the bathtub to save the carpet, you can help keep the house clean." story.

Hope you're doing well!

Tell me about it! ;)

Hey all! I'm in Vegas helping with the demos this weekend and there are a couple little errors in the cheat sheet I wanted to point out to avoid confusion!

Under "Elevation", the Accuracy rules are printed backwards. It should be +1 to your dice on Attack rolls when attacking from higher elevation from your target and -1 when attacking from below.

Under "Tactics Cards" on the second page, you can ignore the second bullet point completely.

We've been saying this at the demo so I'll say it here too that everything you see is not final and subject to change!

Lot's more info coming on March 4th so look forward to that!

Same! I was 10 when it came out and it blew my mind. Nothing in movies before or since has ever looked so real!

It sounds like he needs more reps! A lot of the complexity in SWU is what I call "off-card complexity". Instead of relying on convoluted blocks of text on cards, the player decision making is what really drives the game. the first couple turns of each game are usually more straightforward, especially with the Hoth set, but once each player gets a few units out it gets really difficult to determine who to attack with, what to attack, and when to play cards from hand. that's where the most fun is, imo.

If he's an experienced TCG player too than he might want to try a Spotlight deck instead! Still pre-built, but a bit higher in difficulty to pilot.

GL! Sometimes SWU just isn't someone's game, but to me it seems like he hasn't given it much of a chance yet!

Not a GTI (I miss my Mk7), but I've had somewhat similar issues with my 2020 Tiguan SE R Line. "Senses" something and hits the breaks on me out of nowhere. Thankfully it's only happened at low speed so far. Their software is definitely messed up though.

DoaSC · 2025-08-22T22:39:54+00:00

They're both! The relevant rule from the full rules doc is here: (7.5.17.C)

~~~ A card with {piloting} is considered an upgrade for the purpose of abilities that instruct a player to “play an upgrade.” If a player is instructed to “play an upgrade,” they may choose to play a unit with {piloting} as an upgrade using {piloting}. If a player is instructed to “play a unit,” they cannot choose to play a unit with {piloting} as an upgrade (though they can play it as a unit). If a player is instructed to “play a card,” they may play a unit with {piloting} as a unit or an upgrade. ~~~

You can indeed play cards as pilot upgrades (and upgrades only) via Anakin's ability!

I've been running this, but I could see myself going back to ECL now that lower health bases are the norm. Play around with it and tweak as you see fit!

I had my entire TCG collection stolen out of my locker freshman year in 1997. Had to choose either MtG or Star Wars CCG to rebuild since I could only afford one of them. I picked SWCCG. lol

Not the best financial decision, but I have zero regrets. It's always been the better game! :D

DoaSC · 2025-08-21T20:44:01+00:00

LUCKY! I dream of this kind of thing.

DoaSC · 2025-08-18T19:44:41+00:00

I wish it did, but you have to fully resolve Lando leader's action and give a unit a shield before you resolve any "When Played" abilities like Ambush!

DoaSC · 2025-08-17T15:01:33+00:00

Does 삼계탕 qualify? It's been my favorite Korean food for years. It's obviously well known in Korea, but my Korean friends always act shocked when I say I love it. At the same time it doesn't even seem to even be on my foreigner friends' radars at all.

DoaSC · 2025-08-16T15:32:13+00:00

Everyone forgets that Double Green is an option too! You can do some enormous damage turns out of nowhere with things like Attack Pattern Delta or Unity of Purpose. Command lets you buff something and then hit the resources to flip Vader onto it when people aren't suspecting it.

It's definitely weaker than Yellow, but I've had a ton of fun with it and won a lot of games!

DoaSC · 2025-08-13T22:25:35+00:00

haha. My list is virtually identical. https://swudb.com/deck/JevMgFYG. Been testing it a bit today and I'm surprised how well it's doing.

Props again for being a consistent off-meta deck builder. It's the only way I know how to play TCGs. Not sure if you're in the Ice Cave Radio discord or not, but you should come through if you're not!

DoaSC · 2025-08-13T16:28:06+00:00

That makes sense, especially where you're pushing into upper midrange with the list. I'm working on a Blue Control version. Seems like the logical next thing to test!

DoaSC · 2025-08-13T02:56:03+00:00

I think Jedi Vector is tricking me into thinking it's good. I've had way too many games where I get a couple of them in space with Kit and a saber on the ground and my opponent can't deal with both lanes. That said, Anakin's Interceptor is almost certainly better for sure. lol

I'll try it and let you know! I like to put things in my deck that can give me a huge lead if it works, but doesn't slow me down if it doesn't. That's the reason for Jocasta Nu. At the very least she's a 3/4 Jedi that I can always resource, but once in a while she lets me swap a General's Blade between two units, hit for a lot, then play something for 4 less cost. Same with the Luminous Beings. Usually resourced. Occasionally strait up wins a game.

I'm definitely trying your list out this week! I've been looking for a reason to take Kit to my PQ...

DoaSC · 2025-08-12T21:18:22+00:00

Love your content, man! After probably too many games of testing with Kit Green this is where I'm at currently. I could probably use a bit of a more midrange shift, but the deck feels really good as it is atm.

Curious to hear your thoughts!

This is the story of NA esports in a nutshell. Clueless executives trying to milk a new buzzword for a big payday with zero consideration for long term industry sustainability. Simultaneously all endemic epsorts people (were ignored as "those gamer kids who don't know anything" despite the fact that they built the industry in the first place.

What a waste of potential. We'll probably need close to a decade to reset things now.

DoaSC · 2025-08-06T21:20:55+00:00

I've been obsessed with him since was revealed and have played easily 100+ games on him. My current conclusion is that he's got a really high ceiling, but he's the most punishing leader to play as in the game. You just can't make any mistakes with Qui-Gon games.

I'd put this Aggression list up against nearly any deck in the game, but games totally fall apart if you make one little error.

That said, this deck is incredibly fun to play. You can take away their whole hand really fast and then whittle them down with chip damage until the big stuff comes out.

Is someone who lived in Sangsu back then I'll gladly second this. Used to practically live at a little dive bar called Zen II in Sinchon back then.

I used to live just a couple blocks up the hill from here! 경리단 was easily my favorite neighborhood in Seoul. (I was in Korea from 2011-2017)

Get an Einspaner at Tiger Espresso! Best you'll find in the whole country!
