We have a discussion thread set up for each episode now :) http://www.cardgamed...cussion-thread/ Please keep feedback for the podcast here or via PMs/email.
After hearing on the untouchable deck discussion, is that the deck it really depends on the players playstyle. The Untouchable really suits my playstyle.
great pod cast and good info, although you completely lost me at the han solo and echo caverns being overrated discussion when 2 or 3 of you agreed. That's just crazy talk. those two cards are easily 2 of the top cards in the game.

as for Han being so squishy, I have to disagree for the most part. yes he only has 2 health, however, if you look at the cards that people typically play around him, he becomes so much harder to kill its crazy. light saber deflection, counter stroke, guardians of the peace, 3po, old Ben's spirit, even echo caverns. all of these methods make him very tough to remove with things with force chokes etc

as for echo caverns, I don't think your using your imagination enough with that card. it has so many uses its crazy. I've seen it used in so many different ways it's mind boggling. then to top it off the munitions expert in the same pod adds even more craziness to the possibilities.

anyways, that was my only gripe. keep up the good work.
They both are wonderful cards. I am just saying that they are not cards that you NEED to have in your deck to win.
Enjoyed the podcast guys. I love that I have something to listen to now.

Now for my thoughts :). Echo Caverns is underrated I think. Baz you said you use it for resources. If that's the case you are seriously misuing the card and this may contribute to why you find it less powerful. For me it is critical in a Palpatine meta because it severely limits the damage he can do. If you take his icon and put it on a unit you don't care about, suddenly DS has a tough choice. Tactics out 2 great units or one good unit and the bad one. If they choose 2 good units you get to bury Palpatine under a third tactics with the bad unit. To me Echo Caverns is the unlimate pro player card based on its versatility.

Concerning Han, I feel like he just wrecks navy decks which have no answer for him. Against Sith you just have to be smart. Wait for the protector, set up a cancel and he's untouchable and will often win the game. Moreover, his pod is so good it becomes hard to not play him.

As far as the Rebel "Untouchables" go I would say it's a mediocre deck. If you get Yavin 4 it's amazing. If not you lose to Palpatine because it just takes too long to get the board setup. So it suffers from the malady which most Rebel decks suffer from, it needs a good setup.

Keep the podcasts coming guys. Really enjoyed the show. I'll try out the Jedi deck you outlined this week on the stream.
I thought this episode was leaps and bounds better than your first one.

I know a lot of people said 4 people was too much but I thought it was fine. I was able to keep track of who was talking and and all that.
More ketricel!
