Luke's Gun Show (w/ Casual Report) 1.0

• Versionen
• 1.0

So this is my take on a Luke with bodyguards deck. I've seen Luke with Clone Troopers and Jedi Temple Guards, but I feel the hired guns work best for the access to yellow removal. The hope is to get a Heirloom Lightsaber onto Luke and go wild. Because with the character dice alone you have a 1/24 chance of rolling enough for Planned Explosion. Typically I have been able to pull off planned explosion Turn 2 or 3 with 1 upgrade in play plus either R2-D2 and Force Focus. But if Luke dies by turn 2, this deck has a major uphill battle.

Casual Competitive Report: (3-5)

Week 1

Game 1 - ePoe Dameron - More Than A Pilot/eHondo Ohnaka - Respected Businessman - Loss. This matchup wasn't even close. I couldn't kill either character, and with double cunning and a Poe blaster, I was wiped clean before doing significant damage.

Game 2 - ePoe Dameron - More Than A Pilot/eHondo Ohnaka - Respected Businessman - Win. Another Poe/Hondo deck. But with this one, I was able to hit Planned Explosion turn 2 and kill Hondo. After that, I was able to do enough damage and have enough health to outlast a Poe with 3 guns and 2 Planetary Uprisings thanks to a Hired Gun with a Heirloom and a Rey saber.

Game 3 - ePoe Dameron - More Than A Pilot/eHondo Ohnaka - Respected Businessman - Loss. It was Poe/Hondo night apparently. As I played 3 Poe/Hondo's in a row. This one was different than the last two. I hit Planned Explosion and was able to kill Poe, but I wasn't able to power through 2 second chances on Hondo and with double Cunning I wasn't able to survive 2 to 3 specials a turn.

Game 4 - eGeneral Grievous - Jedi Hunter/eMother Talzin - Nightsister Matriarch - Win. This was against a friend who really wants to make Grievous good. And it hit hard with Talzin changing Grievous' dice to high damage, but after an easy pickings and a planned explosion to Talzin, Grievous rolled cold and I was able to kill the general by round 5.

Week 2

Game 1 - eJango Fett - Lethal Mercenary/Kylo Ren - Tormented One - Loss. This was my first game against the local creation that two of our guys went 5-3 with at Minnesota Regionals, and I got steam rolled. I was only able to get 6 damage on the board the entire game, before I was defeated by round 4.

Game 2 - eJango Fett - Lethal Mercenary/Kylo Ren - Tormented One - Loss. This was against the other co-creator of "Thunder Thighs". This matchup was a lot closer than the last, as I was able to claim a couple times and used my battlefield to protect Luke for a few rounds. But it ended with 9 damage on Kylo and 6 damage on my last hired gun, and I rolled in no damage, and he rolled in lethal. It was a fun and intense matchup!

Game 3 - Saw Gerrera - Extremist Leader/Hera Syndulla - Phoenix Leader/Aayla Secura - Jedi General - Win. This was an interesting take on a vehicle deck. But I was able to pull off two planned explosions in this matchup and after that, 1 die Saw couldn't keep up with all 3 of my characters remaining.

Game 4 - eBala-Tik - Gang Leader/eCiena Ree - Adept Pilot/Nightsister - Loss. This was against the old 5-die villain deck. This player has been playing this same deck for a while now and he plays it well. After I Concentrate two of my dice to set up for a planned explosion play, and he dropped a Deflect and it was downhill from there. Bala killed both hired guns in the same round, and did 6 damage to Luke that round as well.

Overall, the deck was fun to play! It has been the most consistent Planned explosion deck I have played so far, but if you can't play the card, the deck struggles. The other major flaw with the deck is the pay sides on the hired guns. I found myself in situations where I could only pay for one or none of the hired gun damage sides, due to paying for mitigation.
