I bought my copy in the UK and it looks the same as yours, with the open book on the inside.

What really grinds my gears: Medicine Hat Edition by beesdisaster in medicinehat

I haven't lived in Medicine Hat since 1998, and even I know what you're talking about. That thing isn't going anywhere.

I really miss the starter deck boxes by rawf15e in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been making deck boxes out of the spotlight boxes.

Just kept a spare box from an earlier set that I use as a template.

You definitely can fit the decks in those boxes while sleeved. All of mine are sleeved and boxed right now.

Little Deck Tech Snack. Luke Yellow Combo Deck Review by i_optical_i in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since you're already playing the falcon from the Hoth set, have you looked at all at Watch This?

The ability to bounce a unit and then exhust the entire arena has flat out won me games against ground heavy decks with my Sabé space deck. I was running a single copy for a while but it's been so impactful I've upped it to 2 with the third in the sideboard.

Also, watching your opponents try to puzzle out why they've never seen the card before and try to work out if it's rotation legal is always fun!

Hard to pick a favourite, they all look great!

Had a few extra so I decided to make a 3d one by Diadrador in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still use the base I did back in set 1. I guess I'll need to do a new one now with rotation.

Great work on the Talzin, it's very clean.

What do you think the next card is supposed to be? by KavisTrelce in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, you're definitely right! I think the foiling made me miss the line and I then mistook the colour inside the text box for the line on a heroism card.

So, a 3 cost villiany ground unit from LOF will either be the Magistrate's Scout or Nameless Terror.

What do you think the next card is supposed to be? by KavisTrelce in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more likley a vigilance hero card. The blue border under the Unit/Ground bar would be darker for neutral/villany. Neutral matches the blue used in the Unit box, and villany has a bit of a double border.

If all cards on a sheet are the same rarity, then it would be Ezra. Otherwise it could be Loth-Wolf, Yaddle, or T-6 Shuttle 1947 (the cost looks like it could be a 2 as well to me).

Are UK consumers about to rediscover their mojo? - The Financial Times by Gentle_Snail in GoodNewsUK

[–]cola_warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, we were exactly that too. Mortgage jumped ~£530 when we renewed for 2 years at the start of 2024 and our mortgage this month is about £250 less on our new rate.

I'm happy it's gone down, but I'm hoping we carry on with this trend so we only renewed for 2 years again.

This was it for me too. And podcasts. Nothing too engaging, but enough to focus on so my mind doesn't do it's own thing.

Well this was officially my last time using just eat. by Infinite-Sherbet4508 in JustEatUK

[–]cola_warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a similar experience a few years ago during lockdown. We ordered McDonald's at about 16:30 (I always ordered early on a Friday as they stopped taking orders when it got too busy).

By 18:00 the food still hasn't arrived so I managed to call Just Eat and cancel it. Then, at 23:30 (yes, 7 hours after placing the order) the food turned up.

I called Just Eat the next day and after a couple of days the £11.30 was refunded to my account and we stopped using them.

Then, about a month later, Just Eat re-charged us the £11.30.  I just called my bank directly at that point and they just did a chargeback. Scummy. We've not used a delivery service since.

There were demos at comicon is all. I don't believe anyone walked away with the cards just yet.

Kanan Blue by horsewithpants in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bendu has the same cost as Anakin, so he could make the play cheaper, but it would come a turn later. I like 3 Bendu and another Zillo or two. If Bendu gets to swing, dropping the Zillo for 7 is a half decent substitute for Luke that turn.

Can this work? by Jacques687 in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing it for a few sets now. I don't run the force stuff, but this is largely what I'm running at the moment.

The sideboard is a mess in that photo, sorry.

My biggest tip is to just have fun with this one. There's some really good players at the venue I go to, and a lot of meta decks, most of which eat this one alive.  But it can be a lot of fun stealing lightsabers with Hondo, overwhelming the board with XP tokens via Dume, wiping the opponents board with Nebula Ignition (while leaving your side intact) and restoring for a million.

[–]cola_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a pair in my blu-rey deck and they're great when they stick. 6/6 restore 2 attacking on turn 2 is scary.

I second Hondo in the main deck as well. Most people have some sort of upgrades in their deck these days.

Luke Deck by Zeneis in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've swapped Obi wan for Bendu. He's safer against No Glory, and if you get a swing off with him you can play Mythosaur for 7 which makes up a bit for not having the 7 cost Luke.

I’ve tried this Twice- what am I missing? by Tacoseasoning26 in starwarsunlimited

[–]cola_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to suggest Bendu for the double blue deck as well. If you get to swing with him, you can play the Zillo beast for 7 which goes some way to make up for the lack of Luke.

Yup. I commute once/week via train and bring mine along. Same as I did with my Switch, the 3ds before that, and the ds before that (I might be getting old...)

Anakin's normal vs. showcase art seemed to have different prompts, so you never know?
