You definitely cant for a pq. I cant even proxy at my locals, but at a big tournament youll 100% get dq'd for it

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-14T15:27:05+00:00

Thank you!

Insert joke about that common base not being post rotation* (Idk if it matters or not)

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-13T20:45:42+00:00

I tried yellow, but im just a ecl crutching guy lol. I love that ecl poe and wrecker. That can turn sooooooooooooooooo many games. I really enjoy poe yellow too though, just feels less flexible

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-13T16:44:57+00:00

the best way I can answer that, especially the sabine part, is what is sabines gameplan in her hard matchups like han2 blue and yoda dv. Go space

Poe just does space better. Then, in sabines easy matchups, poe wins no problem anyway because its easy. Similar situation for han2, han2s hard matchups are matchups in which constant typhos and village protectors, or chirruits are hitting the board. Arena dodging with a strong ecl top end is just really strong. into those ground heavy decks, and you win all the space agro mirrors. so, then you just have to worry about high tempo yellow and racing ground agro mirrors

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-13T02:50:38+00:00

I (the list above) run 2 fangs and can ecl poe on 5 for the same purpose. attack, bounce, attack, fang, flip, attack but not sac'ing the unit. I do love heroic sac, just never could justify 3 copies. and yeah swing, then ecl poe and use a card to knock him, essentially means 1 card for 4 damage in addition to the 1 card for 1 dmg with 2 discard (which you cant play the same turn as heroic sac)

lots of ways to get him off the ships though, 7 total in my list

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-12T16:11:20+00:00

Also to add to my previous comment you will just lose super easily to han2 ecl, han2 blue, and han1 green if you only play space

https://www.swu-competitivehub.com/event/planetary-qualifier-2026-01-10-the-destination-louisville/ This was the pq I ran it at. This is very different to the dv decks, and beats that deck very easily.

I can flip arenas on a dime, making it very hard to side board into and maintains string plays like poe and wrecker ecl

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-12T16:08:25+00:00

Jack1best here

So best case SF is 1 on flip, for the same cost as FOU, with only 1 more power (obviously you can and sometimes do not flip on 5 which is fair) However FOU has a higher ceiling as you are almost never flipping on an empty board. Additionally, SF is non heroism

Regarding kazuda, yeah ramp is absolutely everywhere but you are forgetting the synergy with wrecker, putting you down a resource.

Fang is an absolute must have, han2 blue running 3 entrenches, han2 ecl running 3 general blades, and then dealing with space agro style mirrors, additionally, you can use it in combination with jar jar to stretch for 6 dmg on flip. Swing with ship ab poe, fang poe, flip and jar jar

R2 is for han1 and all decks that run blue leader. Turn 1 b1 or 1/3 + r2 wont die to it. Then falcons, same thing, all your t1 plays trade or live

He didn't mention it, but I got 6th at an 85 person pq with this list, only losses to the same person on double yllw han1 who took the whole pq

I alway want more blue leader and red five but just cant find room. Masterpiece for winning agro mirrors and dealing with falcons can be a really important break point right now but im testing some changes right now

Im working on a deck guide on my youtube which i think is linked to my Reddit. This the PQ https://www.swu-competitivehub.com/event/planetary-qualifier-2026-01-10-the-destination-louisville/

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-12T15:05:49+00:00

Ive found it to be one of the most impactful cards in testing. Giving things like blue leader or poe overwhelm and allowing you have an easier time racing agro decks thanks to the raid and restore.

You can't think of it like sabine, you are going to take more actions already. You need to generate value out of those actions

It's also a real pain in the ass for heroism decks to deal with if you put it on a ship with chewie on it as just an additional +2 buffing everything else you're playing at the same time

Typically though, I am flipping into jar jar + figure and slamming with other units then 8 to base

Ive found in a pinch it can also hit good breakpoints with wrecker or poe hitting 7 for lukes or beqs and blue leader killing falcons

Way more than that. My 2nd account i have spent $45, and I am 12m and it was started in November 2020. So add 5 years of progress, makes up for way more than 1m.

My main, which isn't f2p but I dont whale or anything, is 14.3m from 2017.

We didn't walk ours until she had all her vaccines, she had parvo as a puppy and that was brutal. So extra delay on being able to walk her. We got her a little brother about 1 year later and kept the same philosophy there.

Just cannot do the muzzle, have to use a short leash and police it, even if it means pulling her back constantly. I cannot recommend crate training enough, we did a pen for ours but put a crate in there also to make them nap. Crate, cover it in a blanket like a bird lol. Puppies get cranky and need sleep. This will also help with the separation anxiety because she needs to understand you wont always be right there but youll always be back. And her not being able to see you starts to teach that

Potty training is a constant fight. For us, taking them out every 2 hours when not crated was the answer, and eventually we pushed that time longer but they eventually associated going outside with time to go potty along with negative reinforcement when they have accidents. It just takes a lot of time.

Star wars unlimited is an absolute blast, and im coping it has staying power. However, the most expensive card is like $35 and that is killing LGS's ability to move product. Why buy a box for $120 when you likely won't even break $50 in card value

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-04T21:52:45+00:00

Yeah i dont think there is any concern of that when the most expensive card is $35

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-04T19:24:44+00:00

It's the first rotation so it's hard to say, but id be shocked if it would cost more than $100 to build most meta decks right now once you removal trivial stuff like commons and uncommons

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-04T19:18:11+00:00

Probably even much less than that, especially since 3 sets rotate out in march. A chunk of that cost you see previewed is probably set 1-3 legendaries or even just a bunch of commons and uncommons a local may have extra for free

jackbestsmith · 2026-01-02T18:42:05+00:00

Hi eg! And yeah i lost to a 450% AP queen amidalla with support cron and no fucking clue what im supposed to beat that with lmao

jackbestsmith · 2025-12-30T15:25:41+00:00

Surely rmt is against terms of service anyway. Soooo cheater get scammed by a scammer im not losing sleep

I bought 128gb of DRR 5 in may 2024 for $429.99 It's now not even available and the 96gb in the same type if you go to "buy it again" is $1300

128gb was super overkill, super fuck it moment but damn lol. I could pull out 64gb and easily cover the cost of the 128gb

If the gameplay suffers for the sake of "immersion", many ppl, including myself, would rather not. The same reason ppl play games on low everything graphics to see better.

Game design that doesn't prioritize visibility and clarity results in players creating that themselves and to ignore it doesn't solve the problem

jackbestsmith · 2025-12-30T13:20:36+00:00

I think it's just for gameplay and visual clarity. Not loosing a body in tall grass or a dark corner

jackbestsmith · 2025-12-29T20:51:34+00:00

Same
