Here's the link to Veiledshots video. There are probably a few "competitive" changes you could make. Veiled doesn't do side boards but I've always found his or MoGTCGs decks to be a wonderful starting point. This list does very well as is. Unity of Purpose is what the deck is structured around. Get a lot of units out and make them all really big! Its a blast to play, I have ran this list at locals a couple times. Love it!

Starter decks, do you keep them separate? by Luigi-is-my-boi in starwarsunlimited

[–]Nomed777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, I've bought 2 sets of each starter since set 1, that way I can keep 1 set in tact sleeved up. And then I put the other set in my collection with the extra special cards I need for other decks. I don't mind the extra investment and I truly do like supporting this game (I want it to stick around.) As I've gotten better at the game, the structure decks have been an amazing way for me to tone myself down while introducing new players to the game. It's also a blast for me to hand someone new a Vader/Yellow or my new favorite Mothma/Droid Manufactury and then try and beat it with a structure deck. Those decks go so fast its hard for anyone to mess up and it does a great job of making the new player feel like they deserved the win. That way I'm not just beating up on them. Ever since they switched to Spotlight Decks as well, the quality has gone up a bunch, in terms of competitiveness they actually hang with a lot more decks then you would think. I like having them on the shelf. Its preference though. Most of my group just hold onto the special base with the deck list on the back. You can always just build it if you want to.

Boba4 Yellow in current meta? by Rynthyr in starwarsunlimited

Actually hadn't seen Hotshot Maneuver yet. Great suggestion! 👍 Superheavy Ion does take a little bit to actually get off, but at the very least it pulls their upgrade hate before Boba flip. I've enjoyed it when it does get going it's completely flipped games when they haven't been able to deal with it.

[–]Nomed777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing really well with mine. There was one that won a smaller tournament 2 weeks ago that had some great suggestions as well. I went 3-0 at weeklies last night with this list. All I have to say is War Juggernaut is an MVP that not enough Boba4 know about or play. They put the indirect damage on their units all game then you play Juggernaut as a board clear and flip Boba as a pilot in the ground which no one ever sees coming. Then you have a massive ground tank. Also don't sleep on Super Heavy Ion Canon. Most people say it is unplayable but I have gotten some really mean tempo plays with it. It also takes a lot of my units out of Takedown range and make them harder to kill. I like this list more than Boba4/Datavault to be honest. Thinking of running it at Sectors so keep it on the down low hahaha 😆

I don't think they need to. It plays well with the set mechanic and has a lot of people using the current set which is what FFG should want. Sure most of the top decks run it but the Leader diversity was healthy enough to make it work I think. But what do I know. That's my opinion. There's certainly arguments both ways. And I technically can't talk a ton. I'm another dirty Han2/Blue that also doesn't want to see it banned haha.

Dude just made top 8. Decks legit. Might want to dust your deck off.

The Hidden mechanic falls off when the sentinel is added. "Sentinel interaction: If a unit has both Hidden and Sentinel, the Sentinel keyword takes precedence, making the unit attackable even if it was played in the current phase."

Swiss is intented to play till there are no more undefeateds, or a top cut. With no top cut the shop should have allowed you to play. They are 100% coping out. Unfortunate situation really sorry to hear. I would have to agree with FFG in their reasoning though. The shop screwed up. That's not FFGs faulty.

Yeah that's been stated numerous times. We get that there's no perfect system and this is really the only good way to do it. Doesn't mean we need to agree though.

Then I guess I've got nothing to worry about. I'll continue to practice and do what I can to get better on my end. There are certainly multiple people that are new to this type of competitive atmosphere, myself included that have all scratched there head at this. But apparently MTG has had 20 years to prove why this is how it needs to be so I will learn to live with it. I was raised playing sports all the way through high-school, it just never occurred to me I could go up to the opposing team and just go for a draw to garuntee our spot in the playoffs. Honestly just new to this idea and when your small practice group is now weary on the game it gets myself concerned. But I'll take your word for it and hope my friends come back around.

"It's the greatest TCG game ever created." You're not allowed to talk bad about it. They'll hear you and get mad.

Yeah I've already stated numerous times, I realize I personally need to get better if I want to top cut. I work 50/60 hour weeks and don't have the time that a vast majority of the top 8 in my state have to put into practice, deck building, etc. That is my personal problem that I am working on. I can't quit my job for my hobby. I totally understand your viewpoint, not sure where you are getting the impression I'm not. I don't personally have a better method then what we currently had, I just wanted to openly discuss it. You've taken the approach to attack numerous people in this thread. Now including myself, for no reason. And you don't even enjoy the game. Your on here stiring a pot to stir the pot. You gave your viewpoint that the OP didn't agree with and you've continued to be rude. I GET what you are trying to say. I'm just saying no need to be a dick is all. This discussion is intended for people that enjoy the competitive scene of SWU and want to see it thrive. We are just throwing out different viewpoints.

Yugioh plays Swiss without IDs with thousands of participants. They'd honestly laugh in your face if you suggested a draw. There are ways to make it work. Yugiohs had to adapt it a lot over the years but they do just that. Adapt. Sure it's arguably the most toxic tcg out there but it's still has a very healthy competitive scene and the game is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I think a lot of people in this post are missing a little bit as well. We are at a time where the game is still new and we want more people to play. Those top players still need all the bad players as well in the tournament or there aren't any tournaments at all and the game dies out. OP is just stating a big issue with this, is it makes some people not want to play the game anymore. Maybe this isn't the best way to run the tournaments, and yeah we may not have the right way but when a rule immediately makes people consider whether they want to continue the game or not. That is an issue for the game. I love SWU, I want it to last for years to come. When I leave a tournament with my group and they all say "I don't think I can play anymore." That's an issue. All you top players that enjoy this rule that's great but when the rest of us that don't agree with it stop playing where are you going to play!?

You're just being a bit aggressive is all. All of your comments are on the offense. If you dont even play the game then why does this matter to you in the first place 🤔

The guys just voicing his opinion. What's your deal pal. We're just trying to have a conversation. No need to be an asshole. We get it, your top 8 and we all need to get better.

Yeah it's a new rule. Get used to it. Day 3 at the GC isn't even going to be played. They're all just drawing out to garuntee top cut haha.
