My name isaka. I'm the reigningand some of you might have met me at Worlds 2018 where I piloted mydeck into 23rd place. I'm also fortunate enough to be a part of theThis article is going to be a refreshing walk down memory lane reintroducing to you one of the most, at the same time beloved and hated characters in Star Wars Destiny:Following the, I'll go through the event, that was the maiden tournament of the deck: the 50-man Yavin Vs Coruscant Event, and all of the match-ups of the day.The idea behind the deck is very similar to the deck thatbrought to worlds in the l shape ofwith, using thestart to upgrade with a powerful weapon and initiate an unstoppable ramp from there.Whilehas been used extensively in top decks, i.e.and latest, since her release due to her incredible consistency and utilisation ofhas really been in the wind.was the terror of the Spirit of Rebellion era, partnering up first with, thenand aand in the days before the nerf also forming a fearsome trio withand a, the so-calledThen he was nerfed - and nerfed! Not only was his points cost changed with a, but the overwrite rules for upgrades was changed as well. Sure, that particular rules change was also aimed at, but it hurtnonetheless.Many players were convinced thatwould never make a return to the competitive scene since most characters that has been grinded and minced by FFG has never really recovered from it. Do you remember? How about? One of my aims with this deck is to try and convince you thatis still at his most brutal and ruthless self! And he's here to wreck face!As with mostdecks, the ratio of even/odd costed cards are 4/26, which means thatability as well as theare extremely reliable.You have a combined health pool of(add to his), so bothandreally have to put some work in, and the possibilities are incredible!Managing your upgrades and resources are super important to the success of this deck, butyou are able to calculate how to geteach turn (one you pay for as per normal, and the one that you overwrite, "replace", another upgrade with), you can be a menacing "". In round 1 alone you would be able to resolve a massive 7 dice, and two of them are likely to be unmitigatable, which in itself is HUGE!You could potentially have a Round 1 (turn 1-4), like this:1). Useto play a, 2). Useto resolve the die, 3).with a. If you get a result you can resolve immediately, then do it, or 4). Useto fix the die result!You are looking a turns with insane damage output. If your opponent mitigates the die you still get to roll it right back in with theactivation. There are a lot of plays available, you just need to find out how you can maximise your damage. If you get your timings right this deck has one of the highest damage outputs per turn in the game (for the first couple of rounds).has good damage sides in a meta flush with-based decks. The Special is worth 3 damage and if you get to resolve it twice you look pretty golden.has incredible value and is one of the best weapon in your arsenal. Three basesides and aside that can easily be resolved together with aRanged damage. Even theside can be good value if you hit it when you play it!is good value due to the bigand thedamage from theis incredibly good in a meta full of Force Illusions.Both theand thehas crazy value and are both dealing huge amounts of damage. Theis one of the most consistent weapons in your arsenal. Remember that if you use the "" of the, you don't get to resolve it immediately withability, Thecan be absolutely superb in a meta full of6 of your 10 weapons have, and you'll need to make sure that there's as many Redeploy weapons onas possible if he is at risk of being focused down.can easily finish games on her own lonesome self with a couple of nasty upgrades!Normally, it's a bad idea with too many Spot Blue cards in a deck running only 1 blue character, but in most games your opponent will be going for Fn-2199 - he is the obvious danger, which means that bothandshould be pretty safe.is just really good in a meta with loads of vehicles. You are just looking to remove a few troublesome dice, and there's usually a fewin between the your opponent's dice.Even thoughis thein this deck,... still has great value. Being able to remove two BIG damage sides in exchange for 3 damage on thecan at times be a small price to pay. It can slow ramp and remove most support character dice in, which are found everywhere!is a meta-call, and right now it looks pretty solid. Removing a die AND dealing damage is good!You have plenty of pay sides in your deck andis a great way of resolving these dice. The alternative is, but that that prohibits you from playing your 3 cost upgrade and resolving it in round 1.helps you accumulate resources for your blow-out turns where you put lethal damage on characters. Harvest your resources when you can!is a great tech card to activate eitherorand find the damage that will kill your opponent's characters. If any of your opponent's characters are within 3 damage to be defeated, then you'll most likely get there with aThis deck might not be Yoda/Hondo, but is actually pretty fast and will easily outpace most decks.is an excellent, because it works so well with a deck constructed around, while Rebel War Room is another great alternative.This deck definitely feel the strongest against 2 character match-ups and against 3 wide decks with low health support characters that can easily be picked off by FN!One of the hardest match ups is actuallybecause its speed, ability to focus downfast and end off turns prematurely by playingandmakes it very difficult to execute your game plan.is a non-Official Tournament arranged by one of the most awesome organization i have played for in all my years of card- and tabletop gaming (they always have lots of prices, gather lots of players and it takes place in the beautiful city of Bilbao, northern Spain).We played 6 rounds of Swiss, then single elimination, best of 1, in the Quarterfinals, proceeding to single elimination best of 3 games in the top4. Semifinals (best of 3) and Finals (best of 3).The organization of the tournament was run by three awesome guys "", "", and "", who ran an incredibly smooth event with an amazingincluding threein real size!! The even took place in "", a private club, with all kinds of miniature and card games!I really think that the organising group deserves a lot of credit and hopefully they will get support fromand be allowed to run aat some point in the future! I think, I speak for the whole Spanish Destiny community when I tell you that these guys are just AWESOME! And they put in a lot of work for the community! They also run the only active Star Wars Destiny Podcast in Spanish In the following, I'll try and make a summary of my 10-3 run to eventually win the 50man tournament atA Classicdeck, which is seemingly gaining popularity in the last couple of weeks afterwin in the. I feel that this match-up is heavily favoring, because of the insane damage output you can get. I managed to get a round 1kill, and then it was just cleaning up and killing. My opponent tried to focus down, but just couldn't find enough damage for me to be concerned! The key to winning this match-up is to manage well the damage output of, and quickly burst down the first character.As I was trying to finally demonstrate how powerfulstill is in the current meta,- an awesome player - punished me hard with hisHe won the initiative roll-off and chose his, while managing to control my cards, hitting hard and destroying. After that it felt almost impossible to win the game. The key card for my loss was a doublethat totally destroyed my damage output for the rounds.I gotta admit, I was facing a lot of doubts at this point. Was FN-2199 and Talzin, the oppressor and his mommy, really going to make it?Immediately when I saw the pairing, and piloted by- one of the best players in Madrid - I was convinced that this game was going to be another loss. Thedeck is in a very strong position to combat this deck. But, I was able to get an insane amount of damage in, and twoand onelater my opponent was left with just 1 card in hand and I had two. I pitched to reroll and found the kill. During the game I managed to ramp into three 3cost upgrades in round 3.It was a very very close game, and one of the cards that i might consider adding to the list, is, which seems very good againstdecks and probably also againstvehicles deck.While this deck was the tankiest and strongest deck a few metas ago, it just doesn't feel tier 1 today. Anyway, the match up was exactly the same as in my first game. I got a lot of damage first round onand managed to find lethal damage in my first overwrite action of Round 2. Withgone that fastdidn't stand many chances against the combined power of my two characters!This match up is probably a. Thedeck has been winning in a lot of big tournaments, and can be a big threat if you are not able to killand theearly in the gameMy opponent was able to get a 0-0-0 round 1 and started mitigating dice. In the second round he was pushing me hard because he played a, but i was able to keep him at bay with aand ramp for a second 3 cost upgrade, and then overwriting for more damage. In the third round he only hadalive with 5 health remaining, and I was able to defeat him at the end of the round. The key for this match up was my, which helped me in mitigating aevery turn.Oh no... my good old friend Kylo Ren, and his Grandfather Snoke. My opponent started by playing a, Activate, and. He guessing correctly and proceeds to hit me for another 4 damage. At an incredibly bloody first roundwas at 3 health remaining whilewas down to 2 health.as the first action ofwas enough to slayand then the rest of the match up was cleaning up the board.Theof this match was definitely thewhile I also got a lot of damage in withif I didn't found damage on the initial roll-out, which meant that I could ensure a kill on a character at the start of the second round.Thematch up felt easier than it might actually be. I was trying to focus down hisfast, but didn't get the quick kill I was aiming for, while my opponent wasn't able to draw into a lot of 0 cost upgrades. The first round ended as a draw. Both of us healed twice withbefore I was finally able to get the kill on hisat the end of round 2. After that I usedto mitigate hisdice. Theput in some insane work in this game!Playing against the same deck that I lost to in round 2, and piloted bywho is one of the best players in my local group of players in. Gonzalo dominates with his deck, and I knew that he was playing bothand, which could hurt me a lot in this match-up, while his speed were threatening to wipe out myquickly.(best of 3), I decided to focus downfirst, because he put shields on Rex. That was a bad decision from me! After a well-timedlate game, I wasn't able to finish off, and I duly lost.i was able to ramp much quicker and got a round 2 kill on. And although he played two Retreats, I still managed to pull through a hard fought win. The burst damage and the ability to end turns prematurely makes this deck a really hard match-upwas a close game. I wasn't able to kill any of his characters quickly, and he used his mitigations and guns to hit me and pulled through some awesome turns. But in round 3 I was able to use ainto twoand healing six damage, giving me the edge I needed to finish off! He finished off the round by, hoping to get another activation, but simply wasn't able to burst enough damage through. It always feels terrible when you have to play a great friend (and awesome player), and I was a bit sad because the situation.The finals were streamed and you can see the game here: At the start of the day nobody had thought thatwould make it into the finals. In most players' minds it's simply not a strong enough deck. For almost 1 year now nobody has really played. And when you go through, there's really not a lot of newer FN decks out there. Yet, I was playing the finals against the mightypiloted by!, Daniel is an extremely skilled player, and trying to figure out how to approach the game, I was confident that the target had to be. The second hard decision was whether toin the second round, to try to get enough upgrades down to secure a win in third or at least the fourth round., was able to get resources early, and in usedandto mitigate a lot of my dice. He topped it off by getting some, but he still wasn't able to get a fast kill in on. He finished offand afterwards I could pull through the win!Myput for Game 1 was.):He was able to get hisdown and scraped together loads of, and just started getting hisinto play. He hit me much harder this time, and it was a close game. In round 4 I played afor the win!Now, at this point my head was totally blown and i didn't see the damage to finish the game. I did a misplay with aand another misplay in overwriting with a. It was after the misplays that I won the second game. Some spectators said that I did in fact make a misplay, so we decided to review the video and afterwards,and offer my opponent a rematch.I felt it was the honorable thing to do in the situation!This game was a blast (for me). I had felt a bitin some of the other games, but this time around I was just pounding for maximum damage. At the start of second roundwas at 2 health remaining and I had two 3cost upgrade on. I overwrote an upgrade with a, found the 2 damage and killedAt the start of the third turn I activated, got 3 damage, and then usedfor another 7-8 direct damage, killingwas the toughest opponent of the day and he deserves a spot in the top of every tournament because of his skill and the way he plays this game!At the end of the day I was able to get some beer and celebrate becoming thein!.Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this LONG report and hope to see you all ator maybe even at theCheers everyone - showSpanish Champion 2017
