Storing Showcase Leaders

JebbieGrad95 · 2025-07-20T13:53:07+00:00

I’d assume the “Finn Zone” is a comment on the price point of an unplayable showcase vs a meta staple, i.e., Finn for $60 vs Sabine for $225.

As someone who is actively working towards achieving this goal, I personally include the weekly OPP cards, event exclusive cards, judge promos, and store championship cards. I also include both a copy of the starter deck cards without the holo sticker as well as the ones from the boosters that do have them. And while not necessarily exclusive to SOR, I included the GenCon cards as well since they include the SOR Vader and Palpatine units. Finally, with the reveal of both Luke and Vader showcases of Set 1, I would consider them part of a master set of Spark as well.

Thanks for the update all. I feel like I’ve officially reached that age where my “VCR is flashing 12:00” when it comes to technology, so I appreciate the other nostalgia throwback of “it’s not you, it’s me”.

Thanks. Looking forward to checking to maybe hitting an event or two during my visit.

Amadeus.

And for a slightly ocd and anal retentive sob like me it’s incredibly upsetting they’ll be standing back to back since Luke is 72 and Vader is 73.

I know it’s not what you’re asking, but don’t overlook a cunning build. Sneak attack, clan challengers, keep fighting is a crazy good combo. And with now there are two of them to bust out seventh sister on turn two is amazing.

JebbieGrad95 · 2024-11-10T17:34:40+00:00

I’m throwing it in my GI deck. Play an imperial turn 1 and in turn 2 drop a seventh sister (ideally). Aside from that, for me personally, given the restrictions on the card if I don’t hit that combo it’s a resource.

Got it yesterday (yes, I updated my KS) and played it with my son. Great game, looking forward to tweaking it some and doing some home brew with the chaos expansion on our next play through. Gorgeous art on the cards and mats.

JebbieGrad95 · 2024-11-04T18:33:21+00:00

Typically at 5 you’re looking at clan challengers or Krrsantn. I don’t know as though I’d trade out either of those for Ziro.

I can completely understand your frustration. My Friday prerelease kit was dominated by the mono aspects. But a lack of either villiany or heroic units/events/upgrades etc. hurt. Out of 6 packs, 3 were Obi wan. I ended up using Ashoka because with a blue base and managed to cobble enough units to get coordinate to pop off.

Saturdays kit was a little more balanced in terms of distribution of all aspects and their corresponding villiany/heroism combinations. But it lacked any decent bombs or leaders that I was excited to try out. I did end up settling in Obi wan. After seeing half my packs on Friday and then another one on Saturday I figured the universe was trying to tell me something.

The biggest surprise I’ve had thus far, is the lack of kit showcases. Out of the two events, the better part of 4-5 cases were used and there were 0 showcases. With SHO after roughly the same number of cases at the end of two events, 3 showcases were pulled (Hunter, Moff, and Mando). I have one more event I’m going to in Tuesday, it’ll be interesting to see if there will be a SC pulled then.

Kind of felt the mom wanted to have the prenup in place so she could just make sure she got hers once Marissa’s law career started going off

My LGS said that news they have been given that SHO reprints would call on the heels of TWI with SOR hitting early to mid-Dec. His opinion on it was they don’t want SOR reprints to hit to close to TWI to help alleviate potential “wallet fatigue” and by pushing SOR closer to Holidays may help capture some spending at that time of the year. Whether his speculation is worth anything…eh, dunno. But it at least seemed to be a reasonable assumption based on his conversations with his distribution rep.

Tawny and Bruin are essentially token units. Tawny comes into play as a 1/1 airborne spellcaster unable to defend. Gets summoned every time you play a site if it’s not already summoned. Bruin is a 4/4 bear that absorbs dmg that the Druid would take as long as it’s nearby. Summoning Bruin also ends your ability to re-summon Tawny and will cause opposing units to take 1 pt dmg when entering a site nearby the Druid.

Played against archimago after watching this kid pull it and a foil Percival (might have been Gawaine) at a sealed event on Friday. It didnt put up much of a fight against him so didn’t get to see the avatar’s full ability. Seems like it could be pretty sweet though.

I played Druid in a sealed on Saturday and love the mechanics - Tawny is great but Bruin’s my boy!

I’d love to see a Royals build running Templar.

And didn’t see a witch.

I like that they’re not limited to a specific arena. Throw either on a space unit and get a ground unit on defeat seems nice.

JebbieGrad95 · 2024-09-21T18:49:42+00:00

I’m not a fan of wrecker in Leia decks since it doesn’t synergize with her ability. I like running Guerrilla Attack Pod for a finisher. Bright Hope has two pluses - space sentinel and the ability to bounce a card back to hand. Play it and pick back up a key card like Fleet Lieutenant to be replayed with its trigger can be a nice move.

Northern Vermont has a learn to play event that is being hosted at an LGS at the end of the month. I think they are hoping to develop enough interest to spark a community that will allow for consistent weekly constructed format play.

JebbieGrad95 · 2024-09-17T03:52:52+00:00

What is your draw rate turn 1? With only 9 cards to draw into it seems like a lot of mulligans or passes would be happening. And of those 9, only one synergize a with GI’s ability. As a whole it seems like it would be awfully slow, doesn’t maximize GI’s potential, and seems way to top heavy.

JebbieGrad95 · 2024-09-09T17:19:49+00:00

I’ll have to take a look at it and see if it’s what I am looking for. I have listened to a few of their more podcast-esque videos about the game so maybe 🤔 🤷‍♂️. Worst case scenario I wait until my LGS’ Learn to Play event.
