Greetings to TheHyperloops readers!

I am Miguel Jose Villarroya Atienza, and I am the current winner of the national tournament of Star Wars Destiny that was held in Madrid on 07/10 and 08/10 [Editor’s Note: October 7th and 8th]

TheHyperloops asked me to tell you a little story of why I chose FN / Kylo Control (instead of the extended version with a thousand weapons), and so I start the story.

eFn-2199 / eKyloNew is a hard deck, probably the most powerful against 1 color you can find (IE against eSabine / eEzra combo, eWindu / Padawan, the blue deck of Eassaj / eVos blanks); its just really easy to win b/c of Kylo’s ability. Also, we added the idea that I had to add Feint + hate, a potential damage of 6 before the resolution of any of the dice for 2 resources. My idea was to try to make a good Swiss round , believing that the classification for the last day was going to be around 6-2 or 7-1, and knowing that against any monocolor that I would find would be almost automatically a win.

The players that were there during the first day, made it a great atmosphere, and it was a pleasure to play against all of them. I went 8-0 in the Swiss round, having real problems in some matches, but those were almost always solved by Feints / Hate , or by Rocket Launcher/Baton on FN.

My version, in comparison to the traditional version, focuses more on the control of the dice than on the upgrades, it is clear that you have to get FN to equip as soon as possible, as long as you do not receive more than 6 damage in one round, which in that case I focus exclusively on controlling the dice with Doubts / Feel the anger / Isolation etc. While Kylo does a mess with his incredible ability.

The second day the atmosphere was a little more hostile, people were playing for an invitation for THE WORLDS , and there were no friends left. Finally I won the tournament on a 8-0 in the swiss rounds and 14-2 in the second day, almost having a perfect tournament

Miguel José Villarroya Atienza

National Champion of SWDestiny Spain.

My combats were as follows

Round 1: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePoe (New) / Sabine

Was easy, he was unable to use its a trap, and my damage output was far greater than him. Sabine was down in round 2, and Poe in round 3.

Round 2: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS eUnkar / Fn2199 / Trooper

Almost the most difficult match, I focus killed eUnkar but he gets a lot of resources so utilizing FN was really hard. I finally killed him with a great rocket launcher double activation in fn.

Round 3: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePoe (New) / Sabine

Same as the first round, easy win.

Round 4: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS eSabine / eEzra

my first monocolor, he was completely pwnd, my starting hand was Feint, Hate, Vibroknife, Isolation, The Best Defense. I played Hate, then Feint i choose yellow, hitting him for 3, then I activate Kylo again and hit him for another 3, and then i just have to reroll my dice to do 11 damage to Sabine and kill him in the first round. He was completely mad at me because of the 6 damage per turn in addition to all of the dice I have.

Round 5: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePhasma VS eVader (Anakin)

Kill Phasma quicker than he kills your FN and it is easy win. Try to get your Battlefield. Because VS the Emperor Throne Room its a bit harder. [Editor’s note: Be wary of this strategy as most Anakin/Phasma decks play New Orders x2]

Round 6: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePoe (Old) / eRey (Old)

The most funny deck I played, played by the guy who I end up facing in the semifinals. He had a deck that tries to hit and run Poe, and he throws use Mind Probe for 5 damage. He said that in the tournament he was able to use double Mind Probe in a Phasma killing she in the first activation, doing 10 damage! lol!

Round 7: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS eKyloNew / eFn2199

In this mirror match, against the guy I would end up playing in the finals, I won because I have more control that him. He was using the most typical version of eFN/Kylo with a lot of weapons and Boundless Ambitions.

Round 8: eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePoe eMaz

I really hated ePoe eMaz for all the last expansion, and I was a bit scared to face on in my last round, but controlling 1 dice per round, and doing maximum damage made it an easy match. Maz was killed in the first round while he only threw a single Millenium Falcon at me. After that killing old Poe was easy.

Final Phase of Sunday

eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePhasma Vs eVader (Anakin) 2-1 Quarterfinals

I won the first game, but lost the second one because I forgot to put the shield (OMFG I’m a noob!) and the third one I completely destroyed my opponent with Rocket Launcher.

eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS ePoe (Old) / Rey (Old) 2-0 Semifinals

As I mentioned earlier, this was the one that I beat in the swiss. It was my easiest match on Saturday and Sunday was no different. He had a lot of bad luck with his dice, and I just seemed to hit everything good against him, demolishing him.

eKyloNew / eFn2199 VS eKyloNew / eFn2199 2-1 Final

This was the other guy that I play in the swiss, and I was a bit nervous. I lost the first game, and in the second I just tried to do a good mulligan, control my nerves, and hope my opponent’s dice didn’t overwhelm me. I had a good game hitting with Kylo, and it was really close, but I won game 2.

My starting hand in my last match was Baton/Lightsaber/Enrage/Enrage/The Best Defense, just the dream hand for a final. The last one was a supermatch because i killed FN in second round, and then killed Kylo in the third round with a heavily equipped FN combined with Kylo and Hate to do even more damage.

I ended the weekend 14-2, the Spanish National Champion, with a flight to the World Championship
