The Smuggler's Den - A Star Wars Lcg Podcast - Episode 12

I think Ben meant to say single losers, not "people who made the right choices in life". J/K.

My favorite part about Ben's comments is for once he comes off looking like the soulless monster instead of me. Keep it up Ben!

Agreed. I definitely think having my kids and getting married was the right choice.

Ben. You're a monster.

Tiny. I think you've named enough decks. For the Star Destroyer/Sith deck my vote goes with Ketricels name of "Big Red Bus".

Ive been running the same as Devasating Sith but 1 x Cruel instead of the killing cold.

I coined it A Twist of Sith. I think it sounds cool lol.

I like my decks to be descriptive so I will know what they are next year when I reflect back on them but to each their own.

I like what you guys said about Smugglers and Spies. At the moment, I really feel like that's accurate. The S&S sets just seem so powerful and so fun to play. I'm afraid we really will see a ton of yellow after Edge of Darkness is released. My hope, however, is that the new RA, IN, Sith, and Jedi sets in Edge of Darkness are powerful cards that will make people really want to play them.

My biggest fear for Edge of Darkness is that the Scum & Villainy will still not be very competitive. With cards like Jabba and Slave I, I don't think that will be the case, but you never know.

Tiny,

Keeping the name descriptive is actully a good idea for the old archives. Have you tried running cruel instead of the killing cold? Your feedback on it would be awesome.

Nope. No.

Big Red Bus!

Im lost where are the buses? We are calling capital ships buses? Yeah I'm not doing that. I think I'll stick with Devastating Sith for now. However, feel free to call it whatever you like.

My thoughts on cruel vs. Killing Cold are this.Neither has a resource. Ice Trompers are amazing vs. Jedi which is still the best LS option (by far imho). Also Killing Cold has a Twist and 2 great edge cards. Cruel has interrogations which is amazing, but 1 in a deck isn't as great. So it comes down to me which is better 2 droids or 2 trompers. In this meta I like the 2 trompers. With so many shields I feel like having 1 random tactics icon isn't as good as it was before. For 3 cost getting a single tactics icon just doesn't seem that great. However, I will probably do some testing with it just to be sure.

Tiny,

Completely agree with you re: Big Red Bus lol.

Thanks for the feedback, totally agree that it is a meta call. Just so you know I've got your back when it comes to rebels , too luck based. I also find Aggro Rebels vs Aggro Navy just becomes a race, at our local weds meet up, 9 objectives were destroyed over the course of a match (Re: player skill level in that match I would put them both in the top half of the players that play in our group). So modified Win was 5-4.

Also watched your stream Dev Sith Vs SFS Rebels and was gunnning for you the whole time. GO SITH!

I'm lost too where are the pods ? Are we being invaded by body snatchers ?

How many Southerners are heading up for the KublaCon regional? Sounds like you may be half the tournament. I just played in the first Bay Area regional. We had 7 people. The game just isn't that popular. Yet.

Quite a contrast with Netrunner where we had 34 at our first local regional. I'm working on bumping up numbers for both.

I've been calling them pods for over a year now I think. What is an objective set other than a long and unwieldy phrase used to describe a pod of 5 cards.
