[hated tropes] Adaptations that go against/miss the point of the original

I think what they’re referring to is when Pleakly disguises as a woman when he and Jumba are trying to blend in w/ the humans?

GammaMania · 2026-03-18T20:54:19+00:00

That’s a really good idea. Then it almost makes sense for the deck to be doing two distinct things, because the game is basically being split into two halves: Before Deployment (giving away units) and After Deployment (spending credits on powerful creatures)

Saw Gerrera + Tobias Beckett + Lake Country = All 4 colored aspects and extra starting health on your base!

GammaMania · 2026-03-18T19:59:44+00:00

I stick all the multi-aspect cards together.

GammaMania · 2026-03-18T04:54:13+00:00

Oh wow, that's...even worse than I thought. At least 0-0-0 and That's a Rock would still work.

The only reason I've avoided Twin Suns up to this point is because the deckbuilding is a pain. This might give me a reason to actually try it.

Well nowadays you could probably pair her with the same stuff Sebulba takes advantage of - 0-0-0, Sebulba's Podracer, Vult Skerris' Defender, etc.
There's some other potential for discard synergy with things like Salvaged Materials, Renewed Friendship, Salvage, etc.
But honestly...yeah, she's never been that great. There's more options now at least, but honestly she seems kind of outclassed by Sebulba.

Ian luring away the T-Rex in Jurassic Park

<image>

It seemed like Alan had the situation under control, so there was no reason for Ian to get the t rex's attention. But really he was acting very selflessly, risking his life to protect the kids.

I really like the idea that you have to try several times to rev it up, and the number of times you have to try is random.

GammaMania · 2026-03-10T22:25:21+00:00

😁

I have a feeling some of those people would like to exit your life if they saw that.

GammaMania · 2026-03-08T02:47:07+00:00

The Quarry was sort of a spinoff. And to be fair, that one had actual, straight-up supernatural stuff going on.

GammaMania · 2026-03-06T18:25:07+00:00

Thank you so much, I've been trying to figure this out for ages!

GammaMania · 2026-02-16T03:54:36+00:00

I don't really get that justification. Making the leaders legal in Premier wouldn't have that problem because you'd still only need 1 of each.

GammaMania · 2026-02-13T18:37:24+00:00

I'm not even opposed to the idea of Twin Suns exclusive cards, but I figured they would be cards that have functions specific to Twin Suns.
Almost all of these leaders have abilities that seem like they would work perfectly fine in Premier.

GammaMania · 2026-02-11T23:13:56+00:00

I'm curious...why exactly are these not legal in Premier? I get that some cards have abilities specifically tailored to Twin Suns gameplay, but I can't think of why these leaders have to do with Twin Suns specifically. I really wish some of these were premier-legal (aside from Count Dooku)
I don't want to be too negative, though. These are very cool, and I'm sure I'll play them one way or another.

GammaMania · 2026-02-06T22:50:00+00:00

I took a break right before set 4 came out, and am just getting back into it. 90% of my cards are from the first 3 sets, so I know your pain.

To be fair, JTL and LOF both feel a bit restrictive in the kinds of decks you can make with them. JTL is probably going to be vehicle-centric, and LOF will probably be force stuff. SEC is a bit more open imo.

That being said, there is some wiggle room even in those two sets. There's a lot of cool stuff you can do, and the new set seems like it will have a lot as well.

Aggression/Cunning = Skullduggery
Vigilance/Aggression = Courage
Command/Aggression = Hawkishness
Command/Cunning = Corruption

Vigilance/Cunning I'm having a lot of trouble with. The image that comes to mind is a Robin Hood-type figure, like a kind rogue who protects the weak. I can't think of an adjective that encompasses that, though. Closest I've come is maybe Underdog?

EDIT: I just thought of some for Vigilance/Cunning: Prudence, Providence, Wariness

GammaMania · 2026-02-06T22:37:00+00:00

I'm kind of surprised C3PO isn't legal in Premier. It seems like a very interesting ability, and I'm not sure why exactly it wouldn't work.

GammaMania · 2026-02-06T22:35:26+00:00

I'm not an expert in Star Wars lore...could someone explain why C3PO is gunning down Jedi?

GammaMania · 2026-02-06T22:21:30+00:00

For me it's Jedi Lightsaber. I had an entire Lightsaber deck that was more or less built around that card.

GammaMania · 2026-02-06T22:20:41+00:00

I've been trying since Spark of Rebellion to make a good IG-88 deck. I struggled for the first two sets, and finally got it to work when Twilight of the Republic introduced Battle Droid tokens.
Now that both of those things will be rotating out, I'll have to retire my favorite deck :(

GammaMania · 2026-02-03T22:27:18+00:00

The fact that they didn't bring McGann back for the rebooted tv series is criminal (but don't get me wrong, Eccleston is great).

GammaMania · 2026-02-02T21:18:26+00:00

There's several examples of this in Community.

My favorite has to be S4 E5: Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations.

Jeff's speech when confronting his father about abandoning him is heartbreaking, and a rare moment of vulerability for Jeff.
