OMG that's the deck i have been playing all season! Now people will believe me when I say it's good. My list is a bit different, a lot more teched against Sabine and Boba. I think there's just not enough control in the meta right now to justify Yoda, Governor, and Obi Wan over Riekkan, which is a way better card in all non control matchups.
My deckbuilding style is that I like to mitigate bad MU and I think control is a very bad MU for this deck. From my experience this version of the deck is still pretty good into boba and sabine, so anything more would be a bit overkill imo. Also my anti control cards such as Yoda , cobb vanith... are also very useful againt soft control decks like Han2 blue and Qira which represent a big portion of the meta.
Hi! I´m the Han Blue player you played against yesterday. Sorry that i left the game when you were in kind of a hurry.. my internet crashed ☹. It was cool seeing the deck from the otherside. Keep putting out good content
If you have another green unit, yes. While it's condition is active you treat the card as if it had centinel writen on it. While it's not, you treat it as if it had no text
@@ethangouveia3868 cool idea but even off u wing it's not super optimal since you don't have a 1-drop to go for it, beside the deck is not really an aggro deck
@@Thorrk_THT Good point on it not being an aggro deck. I haven't playtested my version that had it yet, and I hadn't considered that it doesn't really play into the deck's strategy
Hello there it's Earendil : Boba Daimyo Blue player that manage to get 18th at 148 player toornament at Sainte Maure de Touraine and also 10th after swiss stage. Thanks for the shoutout !! :) So for the list part : my opinion is that your list is strickly better against villainy blue then mine. That's for sure ! BUT your list is way less consistent against aggro then mine and i always prepare my deck to be good against aggro (sabine, boba). For the cart part : I will say what i think, it's strictly my opinion, i'm maybe wrong or not !! :D - Your list is good for drawing card because of how many blue card you play and Yoda in the deck ! That's pretty cool honestly ! - I don't like Yoda without the force package. I understand why you run it but i just prefer echo base defender or sundari peacekeeper. - I run Gamorean which i think is just strictly better then regional and a key part of why i can deal with aggro. It's just personnal preference and i do understand why you run them for the soft control/control matchup. I tryed them and didn't feel like it was that good (ofc it can be amazing to counter a slb i'm not denying that but losing on another t1 is worse for me). I don't like concord main deck and i run 3 bright hope because of how much the card draw, the hp, the anti-bounty synergy is key in certain matchup. I run 2 make an opening to help against crafty smuggler and tie fighter etc. I just prefer it (probably my vision of my deck being more prepared for boba and sabine i guess). - I'm playing mandalorian because it's better in my opinion then obiwan because of the 6 attack against poe/wrecker/zuckus (without 4lom) Also the 2 shield can be a big big deal on gamorean sometimes and be absolutly absurd ! Obiwan tho is better against softcontrol i don't deny it, and you don't play gamorean so i understand your choice + it's blue. - I don't understand really how you can swarm the board against relentless when you can't u-wing and barrage can be place onto it to counter your low unit that you're playing, that's why i'm playing arquitens AND now timely intervention to have a 1 cost event that i can just play against it. It's always been key to win villainy blue matchup in my opinion, and you cannot afford to waste a fell onto it most of the time because of how devastator is hard to deal with if you don't have fell. I also won a game with relentless played in the ressources with tech in final of showdown so i like that tech ! lol - I think not running confiscate main deck is a bad idea in the current meta but that's just personnal preference and that's why you play 2 rival fall, I prefer 2 confiscate and one rival fall and 3 fell main deck. - Traitorous as always been inconsistant for me so i just got away from it and now run no 5 cost, often i want to have ressuply to play it with a 2 cost, gamorean is cool because it has sentinel when you deploy boba aswell. - I do like the cobb vanth in side tho it's pretty interesting, I did run a pretty similar list before but i got away from it because of how aggro was a problem. I understand why you run him since you play regional, it does make sense. - I don't like choose side and prefer arquitens. - Not playing timely intervention in my opinion is a mistake because of how powerful it is sometimes with luke or other low cost unit. the list i'm running : { "metadata": { "name": "Boba Blue", "author": "Earendil" }, "leader": { "id": "SHD_008", "count": 1 }, "secondleader": null, "base": { "id": "SHD_020", "count": 1 }, "deck": [ { "id": "SHD_079", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_076", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_262", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_078", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_098", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_043", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_098", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_100", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SHD_112", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_044", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_126", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_095", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_051", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SOR_077", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_104", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SHD_248", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_129", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_041", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_102", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_099", "count": 3 }, { "id": "SHD_049", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_052", "count": 1 } ], "sideboard": [ { "id": "SHD_122", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SOR_098", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SHD_043", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SHD_098", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SHD_042", "count": 2 }, { "id": "SHD_248", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_102", "count": 1 }, { "id": "SOR_052", "count": 1 } ] } Nice video as always ! :) earendil8851 if you want to talk about the list on discord or see my list ! :D
Yesterday we talked about it and now a video with different version nice :) btw i always thought you side out ramp vs aggro to not skip 3rd turn specifically if you dont have strong 5 turn plays no?
You could side out the ramp, but imo there are worst card to side out in priority. Ramp against aggro can be very strong if your opponent is having kind of a slow start.
Yeah set 2 has killed the game for me as of now. More boba and Sabine and a Han deck that’s a copy of Rey, or a Qira that’s a copy of Krennic. Good thing we have 38 leaders right
Rey green is very similar to Boba2 blue , I those decks are very underplayed. They are quite powerful if built correctly. I 'll show a list soon enough :)
Can you share what you feel Cad Red's major weaknesses are? It's what I'm leaning towards playing at a PQ and I haven't had any majorly tough matchups after a handful of events/karabast
Cad Red lost in the finals to Boba ECL 0-2 at one of my local store showdowns. As Wosho said, Armor completely neutered Cad's ability, and Boba pushed out bigger, scarier units than Cad to own the board the whole game.
Qi'ra has a major weakness and boba green not?Literally all hard control decks and qira are very favored against boba green.Same with boba yellow,qira is more favored against boba yellow than any deck is against qira.You also mentioned qira being bad against hard control.Blue green black decks like krennic were good against hard control in set 1 i dont see why they are not now.Even 1 relentless may be enough to win in this matchup.
I disagree with Krennic green having good Mu vs hard control in set 1, when two control deck fight each other the most controly one has the advantage. Bare in mind I am talking here about the new school boba green that is very value focused. I feel Boba Green is better against control compared to Qira because it's a resilient deck that keeps its ability to be aggressive. I think Qira has a much harder time to turn the aggression on. Besides Boba has access to a number of tool which are extremely strong against control like bazine and tie phantom. Relentless is excellent but far from being enough on its own to win the game, especially if the control deck is ahead. The tricky thing I found with Qira is that you can build the deck to beat control but not without giving up the aggro MU. There are many Qira decks with their strenghts and weaknesses and I never seen a Qira deck that can beat both hard control and aggro. Maybe there is one.
I feel lke Qi'ra is really weak agains't hard control AND Han blue and his discard plan, which is one of the most popular deck in the format. It's a little bit like Palpatine vs Sabine, if you'r opponent don't potato draw hard you can't win or you have to build your deck around this MU and make it weaker agains't everything else.
@@Gounaki-jd5kw Qira is not weak at all against hard control.Especially if you sideboard in more relentless and palps return its impossible for them to win.The young han blue mu is close to 50/50 if you know the lines.Whenever you ramp to a gideon ambush youre pretty ok.Pershing can help with the discard too.
@@CaptainKiwiii You dont have to play a unit turn 1.If you use your cards to kill their early threats like k2-so then they pillage you and its over.If you ramp turn 2 and then ambush a unit with ecl(if you play it) they wont pillage you.Then you can continue with vaders and snokes etc and they will have to respond to them until you reach the star destroyers and win.You will take some damage but not enough to kill you.Also look to kill han when they are on 6 resources so that they dont play luke this turn.
He’s a lot of fun to play, hoping with more time and success he’ll become more popular. I feel like I’m getting much better piloting him as the weeks have gone on
I agree Rey red is most likely a better deck than Rey blue, but in my opinion Rey red is just an inferior version of Han2 blue, while Rey blue is its own thing. If you consider Rey red to be as good as Han2 blue then you can consider anything I say for Han2 blue to be true for Rey red too, those 2 decks play very similar cards and behave very similarly.
It definitely contributed! But there are few other people who have been trying daimyo blue and rey green in the past with various success. I even built my first daimyo Blue before the release of set 2 ;).
I'd swap Sabine Green and Yellow, Green is almost tempo now with the Timely Wrecker 7 resource play, while Yellow is only going face all the time and has more tools for boosted attack in the face, with Surprise Strike and Blaster
Do you think Han Green could still have a place in the current meta? Or maybe a better question is if you think it is possible for Han Green to make a come back? I miss U-Wing!
Boba Daimyo blue player "Earendil" here, i was 10th after swiss stage and then won 2-0 against boba yellow in top 64 and then lost against qi'ra green 0-2 (worse matchup ever lol) : against control i won one bo3 against iden blue 2-1 and bo3 against Boba blue 2-0, the deck can be sometimes a bit slow, but there is so much value with home one + squadron that sometimes it's just too hard for the control matchup to win, i'm also swarming hard the board, my new version tho have 2 tech main deck to help against it. Confiscate is also against bossk to help against the +4 card. Arquitens is against Relentless since i don't play a lot of 1cost event, i now play timely intervention which can help against it.
Hi! Why do you prefer kuil? I think Clone deserter fits better just for u wing cost 1 slot. I like your deck list and I'm playing boba Daimyo blue too and I want to know more about the deck
@@cristopherahumada4942 Drawing can just be too good in some matchup, the healing is equal, but having a one cost is also valuable like you said, it's just personnal preferences honestly. I tested both and thought kuiiil was better, i also have both OP Foil so i like them haha. Kuiil can also be good to discard a 2-3 cost White unit that can be get back from home one/Squadron which is sometimes a big deal since you have nothing in your discard lol I also don't like giving extra draws to my opponent. Also the 1 cost unit for uwing is situationnal when you want both 3 cost unit, i often does 3 cost into dubble 2 cost.
@@cristopherahumada4942 The answer will be that Clone is mostly consider an agressive card, like you want multiple drop. There is consideration for R2D2, but definitely not clone. This deck is way to slow to have any kind of impact with that card, your opponent will just trade with a better unit, then draw a card
@@Thorrk_THT yup, that too, I really hope people find an answer for that bossk deck quick... a few players tested it locally and... it just takes soooo long to win it's painful. It's the closest thing to UW Control in MTG. 90% removal/delay 10% wincons
it's my deck, it's mostly against relentless, i have nothing if the opponent play relentless since all my removal are event base, i'm running timely intervention now after the toornament to help against it with home one going into it or just play an event that cost 1 and then fell, but at the time i wasn't sure about the tech.
@@TheSpaceNinjaPirate that card is uniquely playable in Boba 2 for the + 1 power. that card is absolutely horrid in any other deck. Great silver bullet in this deck.
I think Han1 green is in a very similar position than Han1 yellow. Both decks have very similar strengths and weaknesses, Han1 green is just a bit more late-game focused and less aggresive.
All those cards should be in your main deck From the side I would add a couple of out of aspect bodhi rook (can still be played for 3 from U-wing) and some changes of hearth. From my experience that's enough the main deck is already very strong
Been playing bout with ashoka and new green base on tts She seems pretty strong With new green base u guarantee coordinate 5/6 on turn 5 is no joke Also the 3/3 troopers that heal base for 3 offset a bit of the missing health from playing 24 base Jesse also seems very strong aslong as u not going against expliot tgen deffo reasourse😮 Always love to watch ur vids pal Catch u on tts in near future
Good to hear, I would love to be wrong and see coordinate do something in the meta. I am also pretty high on the 3/3 for 3 that heals and the jesse and rated both of them positively.
I do think the new bases are decent but they probably won't see any play until ecl leaves the format (same with boba oppressing many leaders and color combos) but the life penalty would be a bit more manageable without decks using the speed and tempo ecl generates
I honestly don't understand why people think ECL is a problem. If we agree that 30 HP is the standard level for a base, then ECL is actually the only 25 HP base that is balanced, all other 25 HP (except maybe Tarkintown) are too weak. 80% of the bases played in the meta are the 30 HP base, even among decks that have a green base, only the aggro deck run ECL, Boba green doesn't play ECL anymore, same for a lot of Qira decks, Palpatine never played ECL, han1 green doesn't play ECL, same for most bossk green.... basically the only decks where ECL is an absolut necessity are Han2 green and Sabine green ... If you would ban ECL the only thing you would accomplish is that instead of seeing 80% of 30 HP base you would see 98%. ECL is not too strong, the other 25 HP bases however are too weak. The meta as shown over and over again that 5 HP is a much higher cost that we initially thought.
ECL will always be as good as best 5-6 cost units in game. In this moment both are in hero red - so it's in hero red. In set one it was green unit (stedfast) so it was used in all decks that could play him on 5. And less HP bases will always be best in aggro - as this 5 hp is consider to be a drawback only in mirrors. That's why tarkintown is used mostly in red kylo (from what i know). Yellow and Blue bases are just bad. Even yellow sabine wasn't playing yellow 25 base because upside was too small.
