The Rest of the Galaxy

Hello and welcome to The Rest of the Galaxy! This brand new article series on Star Wars: The Card Game will cover all those wonderful neutral cards on both sides of the force. I go by RedSuadronK on most forums and have been playing CCGs and collectible miniature games for most of my life.

Each week, this article series will focus on a different neutral objective (or set of cards) and examine what cards it works well with and what cards will give you trouble. This week it is Ewoks!

No Disintegrations - Rebel Evolution

Welcome back once again to another week of No Disintegrations, this week I wanted to go over the evolution of a deck from its first creation back when all we had access to was the core set up until our current card pool (Search for Skywalker). I chose to use a Rebel deck for this article for two reasons, 1) in my opinion Rebel decks have changed the most over the course of the 2 force packs and 2) I am personally a huge fan of Rebel decks, especially the vehicle variety. So without further ado let’s go over some of the changes that have been brought about over the past few months.

No Disintegrations - Jedi Evolution...?

Welcome one and all to another week of No Disintegrations. My original plan this week was to continue my line of articles showing the progressive changes to each archetype, and this week the Jedi are up to bat. But when I started going over things I realized that they really have only had a few very minor tweaks to their game plan. So instead of carrying along those lines I decided to go back to one of the original decks I had put together when all I had access to was two core sets to see if it could withstand the test of time.

No Disintegrations - Tournament Report

Welcome one and all to another week of No Disintegrations. Even though this is normally my off week I am pleased to bring you a special entry; a tournament report from the Greer, SC event held on 5/12/13 at Big Robot Games. Special thanks go out to the entire staff from the store who hosted a very well run event and were even kind enough to provide free donuts!! The event had 8 players and we played 3 rounds (had some time restraints due to store hours).

Into the Garbage Chute - 1 or 2?

Welcome back to Into the Garbage Chute. This week I'm going to examine the difficult choice of running 1 or 2 copies of a particular pod. I feel this is one of the more difficult aspects of deck building. Common wisdom says if you want a card in the deck you should be running 2 copies of that pod to ensure you draw it. Therefore, in theory you should be running 2 copies of 5 objectives. However, if you read my tournament report from my regional winning Hoth Lockdown deck you will already know I do not always subscribe to this conventional wisdom. So the question looms, how does one decide if 2 copies of a pod should be included?

abUse the Force - A Mediocre Time for the Sith

In this edition of abUse the Force, let’s review, critique, and hypothesize about the recently released Sith (50-0237) objective, Serve the Emperor. After some preliminary playtesting, the latest Force Pack appears to have put forth a relatively mediocre offering for Sith players.

No Disintegrations - Sith Evolution

Welcome back once again to another week of No Disintegrations, last week we went over the evolution of the Rebel archetype and I felt like it might be good to continue along that vein this week by going over the evolution of the Sith deck type. As opposed to the previous Rebel article which showcased an ever evolving deck, Sith have stayed very true to a core concept which relies on a few key objective sets.

Into the Garbage Chute - Kingdom Con Regional 2013

Welcome to the first edition of Into the Garbage Chute. This article derives its name from the contents you will find. It is basically a catchall article of whatever ramblings I have to offer at a particular moment. As such I offer my apologies for the lack of continuity, but I hope you enjoy the trash compactor that is my mind regardless. Sorry about the stench.

No Disintegrations - Decisions, Decisions, Deci...

Welcome back one and all to another week of No Disintegrations. This week I wanted to expand on the discussion from last week about deck building but with a focus on the decisions we make when building a deck and how they translate into decisions made while playing the decks. There are many times when the decisions we make as gamers can either effect us positively or negatively. From the start of deck building all the way to the last card we play to win a world championship there are countless decisions that can affect us. How though can we use these decision points (thanks TinyGrimes for that catchy term) to our advantage and is there a way to affect our opponents as well?

Star Wars The Card Game Review

Slightly more than a week ago now at the World Championship Weekend, FFG made one of the most amazing announcements that I’ve ever heard at a Thrones event- the announcement that all of the players who had pre-registered for the weekend’s events would receive a free copy of the Star Wars LCG. That’s right, FFG flew in advance copies of an LCG core set which won’t be released for quite some time. And, never fear, but the folks that hadn’t pre-registered could still win a copy of the game. FFG employees and volunteers (at least, I think a couple were volunteers) spent the rest of the weekend gunslinging Star Wars demos: if you won against them, you received a copy of the game.

Now that we’ve got a few games under our belts, let’s take a brief look at the newest addition to FFG’s amazing stable of Living Card Games.
