The most controlly control! Guaranteed to annoy everyone at the table. Don't let anyone do anything! If they try to play a card, just whisper, "nope." swudb.com/deck...
Great video! Thrawn is my boy! Apologies if I'm wrong and hope I am but I believe, with the Avenger, you have to choose a target and then the opponent picks one to defeat so they could choose the one you're attacking. On page 22 under 3.1: Declare the attack. The active player chooses and exhausts a ready unit they control and then chooses what to attack: either an enemy unit in the same arena as it or the opponent’s base. Any abilities that are active “while attacking” become active. Then on 3.1.G on the same page: After declaring the attack, resolve any “On Attack” abilities on the attacker and any other abilities triggered during this step, including Restore, Saboteur, and “When this unit is attacked” abilities on the defender.
That’s correct and it doesn’t always happen but if people want to do some damage to the avenger then sometimes you can get the 2 for 1 on the avenger attack.
Yeah. I don't disagree with any of that. You, as the controller of Avenger, cannot force the 2 for 1. But you can make it attractive. For example, I'll send my Avenger into a big space unit. They maybe want that 5dmg on the crack back. So they kill some other unit, get me back with the Firespray in combat. I still get the 2 for 1. You're completely correct that they have to make this choice before the combat resolves. And often, they will choose the unit you're attacking, esp if it's a little dude. So it's not going to work every time. But when the conditions are right, you can really milk the value out of Avenger.
Thanks for the video! I play Thrawn a lot, but use a somewhat different list. I don’t use cunning, since you usually don’t (want to) encounter three units on the other side of the table. I strongly recommend the Bounty Hunter Crew, which often gets you on top in the control duels.
Really enjoyed the video, thanks for making this. Any chance you’d wana post any gameplay with the deck? Thrawn lover myself. This is the first TCG that’s really clicked with me outside of Magic. Certainly not trying to offend anyone, but I do find it a bit funny the amount of people that complain about out control decks in this brand new game. Control and combo decks in Magic over the years put anything control decks in SWU will ever do to shame just based on the nature of the game. To save yourself the comments, you are basically obligated to apologize for the “toxicity” though, and usually to the aggro player who is not interacting in any way with what you are doing lol. It’s all kinda immature in the end. But I suppose all the years of magic has made me battle hardened to it. Thanks again!
Yeah. It's funny how an agro deck that ends the game in 3 turns is cool. But a control deck that gives you 20 turns to do something is "toxic." So silly. I'll work on getting gameplay out there. Probably once the set 2 webc leagues start up.
Boba typically struggles against control decks. Some boba lists, since they already run ramp, are side boarding devastator and other large anti control cards in the sideboard. So it can be tougher in a bo3 format
He talks about terms but forgets to talk about actual rules, tournament regulations 4.4 2 sideboards and deck changes. It's a small document, but it would be good to know what it says before giving out the wrong info.
What information as incorrect? I explicitly said I was not going to go into sideboards for this video. The only thing I can remember talking about was people countering mill by siding over 50. Which is absolutely legal based on the tourney regulations. Are you accusing me of getting something else wrong?
