Gathered for another draft. We were expecting more people, but with people getting sick and the cold snap only 3 of us showed up. So Danny, Ethan and I did a draft…then we ate…then we got bored and decided to draft again with the the left over cards. The rotation was a bit different having only 3 people and 6 binders, so decks wound up seeing the same same binder more than they did in previous drafts, but the decks still came out interesting. Danny emerged the front runner for the day in both drafts going a total of 6-2 vs me and Ethan both at 3-5.

Random thoughts on this Draft
So if you draft a deck with all the best Navy pods it is not hamstrung by double Piett. This deck was a monster and Wrecking Ball Piett is a beast.
Order Matters! Don’t damage your won objectives with Sowers of Dissension on the flop.
Funeral Pyre isn’t fun to play against.
Digging with 3PO to find that one target of opportunity to win the game…
Including a random copy of the Melucci pod in an otherwise coherent Jedi Rebel deck is just a **** move. Love it.
Plays of the days
Danny Funeral pyres me on my turn, funeral pyres on the beginning of his turn, pays 2 with Kanan, moves a focus from mysteries of the rim over to Kanan and swings playing a force illusion to push out 3 other blockers. I push an ugnaught forward and make him play an edge battle to win. Danny exlaims “There was a guy back there!?†We’ll return to this moment later in the write-up… Danny wins edge and takes the game…but not how he wanted. Point: …still him.
Ethan flops Jabba’s Orders and leads into Get me Solo nabbing my core Luke, then plays turn 1 4LOM suddenly making my remaining starting hand of Ezra looks a lot less appealing, but I draw into some tricks. I attack not expecting any blocks, but he does block and I put in a heat. He twists and then plays his heat. I figure he doesn’t have a choke so I strike with Ezra and then force rejuv him to strike again killing 4LOM.
In my game against Danny he starts the game by discarding Piett. I call him mad. The deck was meant to do one thing. He pays 5 and plays the other Piett. Core Luke shows up and starts wrecking face. I attack and Danny reveals echoes of the force and seeds to tap out my Luke. Fortunately, I have an echos of my own that triggers after his. But the combo is not set up on Piett. There was some trickiness with the Screed ship stealing black tactics and by the end of the game Piett had 15 edge. Chased down too many of his lackeys assuming I had time to get around to the man himself…
Danny’s board against Ethan goes super wide. His has a wookie out with life debt so stuff isn’t leaving play and he’s getting ready to take things out. He plays double force persuasion to knock out all available blockers and pushes a mystic forward to do 2 capping an objective and sets up his next attack. Ethan cries “wait wait wait!†and plays an Aphra jump droid pre-edge. They bid. Ethan lays twist. Danny lays a 2nd. Ethan lays a 2nd. Danny lays a 3rd. Ethan picks up his 2nd with the Garindan objective. Danny is out. Ethan reveals twist and lays heat. Aphra droid swings killing the mystic. Ethan says “I prefer to take things a step at a time, Daniel!†Danny says “whatever :-(“
Round 2. Fight!
We break for a late lunch at the event center. Talk some about Keyforge and how Danny thought things were cold back in November when we had 30 degree weather. Since we were expecting more people and pushed the start time forward to 10:15am we had plenty of time for another so we decided to just draft again and putting the previous cards back in the binders. Danny was slightly concerned that we wouldn’t be able to make good decks because we had already taken out 60 objective sets, but I did not share this concern. It’s draft and it’ll be fine.

Random Thoughts on this Draft
LS vehicle decks never seem worth playing in draft
5/2 objectives in draft are huge, especially with how many utility resources are generally included
Staring across at a grid of 4 health wookies backed up by echo caverns is scary.
Sometimes DS just can’t take the force.
Rousing Speeches are good to rile the troops up to kill dragonsnakes!
Droid Droid Revolution can prevent Let the Wookie Win from killing your one drops!
Veers gives the guns! He’s also not bad promoted!
Jedi Mind Trick and Clever Distraction in the same turn to clear the board is mean.
Fate Vader has text!
Lack Sivrak and his wolfman chud are like a gattling gun.
Sometimes decks will live the dream and flop that one copy of Wookie Life debt in all their games.
I can’t win against Dannik Jericho and Ethan can’t win against Myo :-(
Plays of the Draft
I didn't want to attack into Danny’s wall of creatures backed up by All Out Brawl, so I sat on the force with Obi Wan and eventually got Sabines Armor, Chewie’s Bowcaster, Luke’s Lightsaber, Obi Wan’s Lightsaber, a Custom Paint Job and to top it all off a 6 resource I Am a Jedi. Rex got Chirrut’s Lightbow. I chipped way with Wolfmen each turn and in the end I attacked with a battle field engineer, played double well equipped to ready both Obi Wan and Rex for the coup de grace.
Danny plays Join Me on Ethan’s Fleet officer. The arms dealer gives him a 2nd bomb and he swings in to take an objective with spice visions. Good crank!
Ethan lives the dream with Black Market Exchange. He gets Iggy B out with illegal modifications and uses it to do a bunch of bombs and take out my Following Fate Obi Wan with Ezra’s Lightsaber who I was using to dump tactics everywhere. I trigger when he dies and take out the droid. Later Ethan really needs to take a 3rd objective but I’ve locked out Dannik Jericho so the edge battle will matter and he’s falling a bit short on black bombs. He manages to find a swoop and Wittin, pulls back the Emperor’s Favor onto fate Vader and swings for massive double striking opportunities.
Danny took out my Thunderflare with a bade of honor backed 4 point wookie rage. Ouch.
Shield Chewie and his resistance hideout are super annoying. Shields everywhere. You gotta watch Danny though: He was dumping shields out everywhere and I told him he wasn’t outnumbered. “I have 6 units, you have 7. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!†“You have 7!†and I point at his focused tauntaun in the back row. “There’s a guy back there!? Good times.
