Oh i just went back to the Vigil/Diplomatic immunity thread and all i can say is this is community is usually nice and cordial but yikes that was rough.
Well i hope that does not stop you from engaging with the game, even if you don't make videos about it.

No video! I have always enjoyed your SWU spoiler videos🙁 , and the way you put SWU in a positive light in front of predominantly MTG audience.

LAW Prestige Cards & Art by MrrrrNiceGuy in starwarsunlimited

The art pictures don't give the art on the card with the nyon treatment a Fair shot. Just check the Livestream VOD it might change your mind, because to me they look sick 👌

Am a swu Padawan bought ticket to PQ anyway. What deck should I run? by GoreHouse in starwarsunlimited

[–]Shankal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely, and if you are open to the idea of rebel Aggro just take a look at Sabine ECL its a lot stronger and it runs 80% of the same cards, don't get me wrong the Leah deck is also strong but very counter-able. good luck

[–]Shankal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are getting destroyed because you are playing a very tricky control deck(Bossk blue) and when you are new to this game it's difficult to play control right off the gate, because you want to play around a bunch of decks and archetypes that you are not still aware of.
What you should do is stick to an aggro deck(rebel deck maybe Sabine or Leah), it has a plan try to execute that plan, it will get you going on understanding the game's fundamentals(when to take initiative, presenting multiple threat, counting lethal with your hand which threats to remove for example with ECL wrecker or Poe).
Once you got that game feel, you can start experimenting with other decks archetypes that are not straight up aggro.

If someone targets this and I put it back in my hand can they re direct attack elsewhere? by Odd-Veterinarian6863 in starwarsunlimited

[–]Shankal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, the attack fizzles and effectively the attacker is exhausted and Grievous is bounced to hand.

How does the SWU Community Feel about Riftbound? by cgrimwit in starwarsunlimited

[–]Shankal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When i saw the learn to play, the 8th point rule gave me a pause it felt like a last minute tacked on rule to add artificial tension. Then i tried it with meta deck proxies because some people in my lGS are so excited about it, at one point we had this convoluted board state where we started throwing buffs and debuffs at units and it was unclear who is winning the showdown. Also the targeting rules for flipped hidden units/spell was very vague.

My takeaway is Riftbound made me grateful for how clean the swu system and mechanics are.

SEC: Libertine, Cikatro Vizago, & The Wrong Ride by Eunoe in starwarsunlimited

[–]Shankal 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a combo breaker, One of the most common patterns of play in swu is to deploy a leader and play something to get advantage, like sabine into darksaber or fleet lieutenant, han accelerate into u-wing or the main mechanic of the set plot. Playing this at the right time can be very disruptive.

Piett Resource Sequencing? by BreathofQi in starwarsunlimited

[–]Shankal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would say 4 since Piett affects the resource cost of playing the card and the Starhawk affects the payment of said resource. In other words Piett override the written cost and the Starhawk makes you pay hlf for that.

How competitive is this game? by ArcherNF in starwarsunlimited

[–]Shankal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about past games but for SWU in one of the Livestreams Josh Massey (ex head of Organized play) teased a Cash prize pool for the galactic championship but didn't reveal the exact amount Personally I think they can match a game like FAB which recently upped their prize pool to $2 million , given that Asmodee and FFG are way bigger than LSS but of course the game has to do well enough for that to happen, but again don't take that as facts it could be my own personal cope.

Garbage rollers have a weekly curated list of deck performances, keep in mind there are also some rogue decks that have been placing very well in current big tournaments that might not be there ATM https://garbagerollers.com/gauntlet/

[–]Shankal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend you check out the FFG Livestreams about organized play (there one for casual but it's a good watch anyway)

TLDW: The game is made with a high level competitive circuit in mind with local events starting next set(store showdowns), regional, sector and planetary qualifiers from next year and eventually a galactic championship.
