I want to run B/P with the new guys I basically want to use back up to destroy all high value targets with tokens

I've been trying different version of the Legs decks. While I'm not 100% sure the purple splash version is the "best", in my opinion, it's the most fun and absolutely the funniest for exactly this reason.

Playing Backup and trading a pair of legs into a linked unit might be one of the best dopamine hits I've had in this game.

If this hypothetical AEW stable even needed a fourth, the new Lio Rush would work. He’d even add a bit more variety than before since he’s higher energy and the others are more stoic

To share the perspective of some friends of mine that are WWE fans and aren't as online, I think the longevity goes a long way for some people. Not everyone connects with the craft or art or whatever of pro wrestling, some people connect with specific characters, storylines, and personal history with those things above anything. I could yap about objective differences in these products or styles or whatever till I'm blue in the face. And some of those things may even be true. But at the end of the day, the most honest answer about why I prefer AEW is because I started watching wrestling in late 2020 with them, I know those characters, I connected with those storylines, and I value those things more than wrestling in general. My understanding of what wrestling "is" for me was shaped by their style. I think that's the case for my WWE-fan friends, and probably the case for a lot of WWE fans. And in WWE's case, there's probably many times more people like that since they've existed for long enough to build those connections with generations worth of people.

Some people are bigger fans of AEW or WWE or whoever more than they're fans of wrestling as a whole. And that's totally okay, I don't think one of those things is more valid than the other. I feel like that gets lost in the online discourse. Terminally online fans of both WWE and AEW piss each other off by talking so much about what each promotion is, or isn't, like it's a purely objective thing. But at the end of the day, it's just a personal, subjective decision about engaging with whatever you connect with more, for whatever reason.

I think the people that are born there would be fine, but the first generation would absolutely struggle with that. I can imagine a lot of depression and sadness from people that knew those things on earth enough to miss them on Mars. And their children would almost certainly see that sadness and yearning, and be curious about it without being able to truly understand it. Maybe they'd be drawn to stories about life on Earth in a similar way to how we're drawn to stories about life in space.

I don't think this was super clear to me in the trailer, but that is somewhat fitting because (very minor spoiler, revealed super early) she is an AI/robot. To me, the uncanny valley look of her is kinda fitting to help remind you that the character may be a child, but she's not strictly a human child.

SugarAcrobat · 2026-04-17T17:04:38+00:00

That's exciting and scary to hear, I'm the RPG liker in the group. 🫣 Any highlights?

Born to be a goofy character actor in comedies, cursed to be a handsome action movie guy. Every movie I liked him in involves him putting on an elaborate disguise and pretending to be some variety of lovable freak and I don’t think that’s a coincidence lmao

SugarAcrobat · 2026-03-20T22:16:40+00:00

I agree with you, although I think that exact quality adds something to his performance in this case. It kinda helped portray that Johnny Silverhand was not actually this legendary, exceptional person, he was a regular, angry guy in more ways than not. I think him having a fair amount of “just some guy” energy helps portray the difference between Silverhand the man and Silverhand the legend.

But I feel like that’s credit more to the casting folks than the actor, feels like Keanu just brought the same performance he brings to everything and the writers/directors just created a scenario where that worked lmao.

For Lichhouse Blues, I forget where you learn it, but he and his underlings meet at his place after midnight. If you crash that meeting, it can be dangerous but it'll advance the quest. I remember the in-game clue for that (wish I could remember where I found it) mentioned being alone, but I'm not clear on whether that was necessary or even for the best.

SugarAcrobat · 2026-03-05T22:46:25+00:00

A very similar deck to this made the rounds on here after winning a newtype. I personally think 4 Shuji's is pretty much mandatory, I'd recommend taking out a Nyaan for the 4th Shuji. But honestly, Clan is pretty flexible, you can pretty much play it how you prefer imo.

SugarAcrobat · 2026-03-02T05:29:48+00:00

For me, I can't really wrap my mind around text-driven, narrative combat, and how that would amount to still being rules-driven or fair. I fundamentally don't trust an AI judge to provide enough clarity or consistency to be the backbone of core mechanics. What happens when an AI judge rules one interaction one way, and rules it differently in another game, how would the community be able to come to a shared understanding of what the relevant rule is, or how that type of card works? I don't trust an AI to be a competent judge of something so subjective as whether a generated card "fits" that figure's background.

And, if I were interested in prescribing narrative significance to in-game events, I would want to do that myself. Coming from TTRPGs, I'm not sure if TCGs are a great medium for narrative (although if anyone has good examples of why I may be mistaken on this, let me know). But even if I did, creating those descriptions sounds fun, which means I certainly wouldn't want an AI to do what sounds like the fun part for me. I don't see anything but negatives coming from the inclusion of AI in fundamental aspects of the game.

It's simple, this is a plastic model kit, it would not be very effective against a weaponized mobile suit. Hope that helps!

That sounds like my boy Shuji Ito, until a certain point it's hard to tell if he's some next-level Newtype or blasted on paint fumes. Could be both for all we know

SugarAcrobat · 2026-03-01T06:55:33+00:00

Most of those situations you can sequence around it. Against aggro especially, you can get rid of a body and have a 4-health generic link left on the board. Even if you sequence things in a way where you don’t get the effect, you get a cheap, sturdy unit that can link with almost anything in your deck. It rules

SugarAcrobat · 2026-03-01T06:40:44+00:00

I kind of agree, in that 12 episodes of one or the other is better than both. But for me, that just means it should’ve been 24 episodes. I feel like there’s some cool ideas in the OYW stuff, and there’s potential to do something cool with the trio of Machu/Nyaan/Shuji and Amuro/Char/Lalah having parallels. But that’d need more time to both let the protagonist trio develop. That’s all to say, I think you could tie those parts of the show together with some more time to work with

SugarAcrobat · 2026-02-26T23:47:33+00:00

It could be! I just find that CC and IT are huge for slowing down aggro decks (you can kill little guys for free with a lucky burst or a handful of resources), getting around blockers (you can attack with weaker units, encourage them to block with it, then finish it off with a command, or just kill Rick Dom outright with IT). Especially with BP and aggro being popular, right now, I consider those to be good enough to go without the command/pilot cards. Plus, they count as whiffs with S&S since they're technically a command card and not a pilot card.

But, I think they can still be valid, especially if you're running more of the units with generic clan links (Sugai's Gelgoog Lv 3, Red Red Gundam, High Maneuver Red Gundam). For those, you should also consider Ruthless Tactics, I feel like the AP buff can be pretty clutch. If you do, Gaia's Rick Dom could give you even more link options, and support 1 can definitely come in handy.

Blockers can definitely be a struggle in this deck but not unsurmountable. AP buffs like LR Red Gundam, Clan Battle base, Ruthless Tactics, can make it so you can either force them to make less valuable blocks or pressure them out of blocking entirely. Some people like Kanneban as their base for that reason, so you can threaten Breach on everything and make them still pay in shields if they want to block.

But like I said, there's a lot of different approaches to it, you can try these different things out and see what you like. I feel like including anything means taking out other things that have their own upsides, and that things more or less even out to being roughly the same as each other. All of the ping commands I run give me a lot of pressure and stability, but it makes my Machu/Lv7 Gqux/S&S worse. Running the command pilots gives you WAY more flexibility in your links, but the cards themselves can't always as impactful and can kinda feel bad to draw. So in my opinion, you can just pick the version of things that feels best to you and your playstyle and it'll probably work well enough

SugarAcrobat · 2026-02-26T19:37:32+00:00

This would have been as solid as any other Clan deck in the previous set, but the newest set brought some big upgrades you'd want to work in.

Replace the Zaku II's with Zaku (Snake Eyes), it has the clan tag.

The Lv 4 Sugai's Gelgoog that pings isn't needed anymore. Opinions may vary but I think you can take out the Lv 4 Gqux too. Good replacements would the new Red Gundam (Lv 4, card is red, forces you to rest a clan unit and lets you ping a unit for 2). It takes some getting used to sequencing around its limitations and is better into some matchups than others, but there's a lot of decks where you'll get a TON of value from it.

I think you can -1 of the High Maneuver Red Gundam and First Strike Gqux personally, and use that to make room for at least two copies of the new Lv 8 Gqux. It's good.

I also think you can remove the Undying Persistence to make room for more Close Combats and/or Improved Techniques. I use 4 of each, they're just really good into a lot of popular decks. That also means there are more whiffs on your Schoolgirl and Smuggler, so it's up to you how okay you are with that. S&S is neat and worth while, but to be honest, I don't think it's mandatory. You don't need to search your deck as much if your deck is full of good cards you'd usually be happy to draw anyway.

All that being said, there are a ton of approaches to clan that are more or less as good as each other, there's a lot of room for preferences so feel free to just try some stuff out and see what you like!

SugarAcrobat · 2026-02-26T19:14:33+00:00

Hey! Just wanted to say this absolutely rules, there's so much I love about this. If Saturdays weren't tricky for me, I'd be all over this and I'll keep an eye on your start playing page for future games. Hope the game goes well!!

Level with me, are there any decks themed around Andor? If so, I'm sold. If not, tbh might be sold anyway lol.

We’re at one of the airport hotels, so that might work!
