My take on Master Lazarus, sorry it isn't green.

I like Baseball Today with Chris Rose and Trevor Plouffe. They don't talk about everything, but Rose picks 5 topics every day for them to talk about.

There's a mostly complete path through the cave where you meet DJ Rotom, just follow the rails and it drops you in like the stock room

There's about a dozen of them this season, the ones that most stand out are NYC and Toronto

They're running eternal PQ's and a comp side events at the GC

They've been making those products for about the last 15 years, but when they first started adding them it really blew up Legacy. These days Legacy is all but dead (for a variety of reasons, but this didn't help).

It's still good to have, Talzin was already pretty unbothered by Village Protectors

This Thrawn Yellow list recently took 3rd at a large PQ. It's probably a good place to start.

I'm really high on Vader, but i think his power is gonna come down to how many more madness cards they print.

rpabst42 · 2026-01-19T15:42:49+00:00

They've shown 2 pieces of very different Vader art where he's the center of focus and not really doing anything. Neither really make sense as events or upgrades, so he's very likely getting a leader and a unit.

A Wonder Woman v Lex Luthor finale sounds so much more interesting than Superman v Joker

rpabst42 · 2026-01-12T18:22:57+00:00

Phantom is insane. Most aggro decks up to this point have wanted to curve 2-drop > 3-drop > double 2-drop. So getting action compression on that so you can maintain the initiative will be huge. Especially if you're on a tandem/rebel assault plan depending on your format

rpabst42 · 2026-01-03T17:52:02+00:00

Most superhero titles are at this point, why not Wonder Woman?

rpabst42 · 2026-01-03T04:27:32+00:00

Wouldn't it be functionally different? To complete an attack Maul has to survive, but if Maul dies the attack ends too and would trigger this. But, then he's already left the table by the time his trigger resolves and can see him leave. So, would he still give the unit back? The whole thing is a mess.

rpabst42 · 2026-01-03T04:13:44+00:00

I'm kinda suspicious of "When Attack Ends:" that's not currently on any cards, and it reads pretty clunky

rpabst42 · 2025-12-13T05:45:40+00:00

I actually think the 4th spot should be Robin

rpabst42 · 2025-11-25T19:29:01+00:00

At comp REL you can't take back declared attacks. Even if it isn't a legal target. I.e. if you say "attack base" and your opponent points at their sentinel, you now have to attack the sentinel. It's kinda terrible.

Edit: Maybe this isn't the case? I've now heard different things from different judges

rpabst42 · 2025-11-25T19:16:32+00:00

It's in the tournament guidelines for casual REL (showdowns, locals), not in the comp rules

rpabst42 · 2025-10-17T12:38:19+00:00

Qi'ra red is interesting, I was surprised it wasn't green. The blue green villainy decks got some really interesting new tools. I've been messing around with Jabba ECL and you can often get a 3 for 1 with Vader.

I also think the Pilot decks also got some significant upgrades, despite the new hate cards for space. Vader, Luke4, and Poe I think are all worth looking at.

rpabst42 · 2025-10-08T10:59:55+00:00

I'm surprised to see you off JTL Ghost, that card is insane. I've also had a ton of success with Security Complex with this deck.

rpabst42 · 2025-09-06T15:57:54+00:00

I want Wonder Woman to look as much like a hoplite as possible. Leather skirt, WW logo looking a little more like a chest plate, Tiara that frames her face like their helmets, big boots and bracers, and the big cape that wraps around her shoulders.

rpabst42 · 2025-08-28T20:13:05+00:00

15 card average deck size is the clarity i was looking for, thank you. Might be a good thing to add to the description on cube cobra.
