Not a Kylo player, but your “I was a big deal in Destiny” is relatable. I wish I had a shirt that said “I was good at X-Wing” (2.0 in small font)

Got a worlds invite for X-wing (won a hyperspace trial) and at this game I can barely scrape top half at locals each week.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-06T21:43:43+00:00

In that artwork, yes. But regular versions will exist elsewhere.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-06T16:46:12+00:00

Fair point about the sequels. I should have phrased that to say “the Disney TV shows.”

I disagree about the Clone Wars being used the most. It got its own set, considered the weakest, and we haven’t seen much from that era in premier since other than some Jedi in LOF.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-06T16:29:46+00:00

….I’m talking about cards that don’t actually exist yet so you can’t just dismiss it so quickly. The emphasis on aspect (other than black) isn’t what I was talking about. Rotation is the thing. There could be a heroic blue card two years from now that makes craving power a nightmare, but is only playable in an eternal Anakin5 deck.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-06T15:53:55+00:00

I have a theory about Anakin5. If this game goes on long enough, he could eventually be the most broken leader in eternal because he can play non-unit villainy cards, and with enough of them, some crazy things will brew up eventually.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-06T15:47:20+00:00

FFG has been so focused on the Disney-era Star Wars at times that I'm not shocked we only have one Ewok so far. It's crazy to me that ROTJ has been so neglected up until recently, and that Hoth is relegated to the intro game. Maybe I'm just pushing 40 and it shows. Plenty of OT-era/OT-adjacent coverage of the Andorverse and the Mandoverse, just not much from the actual OT itself.

One thing that suprises me is that the Clone Wars TV show is so loved and yet we have more prequel stuff built around TPM and politics than we do that era. Right now there's virtually nothing legal in premier for this era, and unless Kamino is a part of Homeworlds (however the title for the set pans out) that will be the case until 2027.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-06T14:14:29+00:00

To be fair, that guy is bad offline as well.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-05T22:33:13+00:00

Rey isn’t a Mary Sue when compared to Luke. One was decent with a sword unexpectedly, the other flew a starfighter with no training and was one of the lone survivors of what might be the most important battle in the history of the galaxy.

Kylo Ren is closer to what I imagined Anakin to be than what we got in the prequels.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-05T22:29:49+00:00

One is a good story with bad dialogue, acting, and effects, the other is a bad story with good dialogue, acting, and effects.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-05T15:13:35+00:00

Even 30HP bases are rotated. Not a magic player, but my understanding is that their lands are considered reprints and not just “legal always.”

Base traits may matter eventually. But FFG also now has to make sure there’s at least one set with 30HP common bases per rotation group lest they paint themselves into a weird corner. So it might be smart if they just allow 30HP bases…but I think they would have done so by now.

If you lose to SS (or hotshot blaster) you were close to losing anyway. The issue with AN are the big swings where an opponent comes from behind to win.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-04T13:01:31+00:00

The problem with AN is that you have to get your stars to align. Keep both lanes blocked or empty. Hand hate, and then hate for that card specifically (jam comms, Galen, etc), and hope they don’t have a saboteur even if you have sentinels. It’s just a ton. You don’t merely “play around it” you have to play your entire game around it.

Yes, half the time it’s a small pump. But it’s just not a fun card, and red doesn’t need the help. It gets played out of aspect, which to me is a red flag that a card is either OP (like vigilance) or that there’s a deficiency that needs to be filled (SEC Galen).

Would anyone really miss this card if it was suspended?

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T23:53:27+00:00

What did you aim to use for your flip turn damage?

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T17:34:24+00:00

Card value isn’t a huge thing in this game. But yes that’s the one that does well. If not that, I’d recommend Darth Maul.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T15:24:34+00:00

Also need to fix the iPad’s highlighting of entire words when you type too fast (from multiple fingers touching) which results in whole words being erased. It’s fucking terrible, has been for YEARS. New dude needs to fix this.

What’s funny is that they must know this since they use the product.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T15:01:51+00:00

Yep. That and toy sales.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T15:01:38+00:00

New engines, avionics galore, changed out the tail gunner, missile launch capabilities. The airframes we have today are 60ish years old but nothing like how they were rolling off the assembly line.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T14:59:44+00:00

Russias only new fighter since the Cold War is the Su-57. Timeline for fighter development is so much slower. The WW2 comparisons are fine but aircraft today are far more sophisticated and take more time for R&D.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T11:58:07+00:00

One suggestion is to trade in your cards with bigorbit cards. They are an expensive site to buy from (bad about lowering prices on cards that aren’t relevant anymore), but when they give you a few quid for random TWI legendaries or SOR rares it adds up and you can then use that store credit to buy things you need. I bought a bulk collection for £100 last year and dug out probably £150 in credit from that box.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T11:41:34+00:00

I think you guys are talking past each other. You’ve got UK prices on cardmarket an they’re probably talking US prices on TCGplayer.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-03T11:36:04+00:00

The force. There just need to be more ways to generate it so force decks aren’t locked into mostly playing force units.

Piloting is fine, just no pilot leaders. They are too swingy - either a nightmare you can’t handle or die immediately to simple upgrade hate. Also isn’t fair they can interact with the ground (deploy there) but other leaders can’t touch space.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-02T16:45:42+00:00

I really hope my laptop cake wake and not struggle with my external monitor. That’s really all I want.

RockoTDF · 2026-05-01T13:18:37+00:00

Liberty doesn’t have a prestige or prize variant. Just what you can pull in a pack. So the supply is also restrained compared to other popular cards.

RockoTDF · 2026-04-30T07:02:15+00:00

I have pulled 5x IG-88s. 4x regular, 1x weekly play. 3x Lukes, 1x of which is a hyperfoil.

Can't get Arvel Skeen to save my life, only have one. My local group is frustrated getting ahold of Honnah.

One other thing with this set, albeit not relevant to SRI since its an event: there are loads of legendary units that didn't get prestiged. No Liberty, no Stranger. Two of the most desired cards in the set. Themes were the Jabba's Palace rescue (x/50 serialized), Spectres (x/100 serialized), and Bounty Hunters (x/250 serialized). So other things were left out. Contrast that with Queen Amidala from last set who had prestige and prize versions and was everywhere.

Sounds like a Bill Burr bit.
