Honorable mention for your list would be Enterprising Lackeys, which is such a bomb for decks that can play it. Handles the proliferation of 3/5s for 3 out there, has excellent synergy with ECL and has Smuggle. A great trick for Palp or Jabba is that you can use the Lackey's recursion effect to put your big force units in the discard pile after resourcing them early and then use Palp's Return to play them early. Obviously Palp green is already known, but don't sleep on Jabba Green (super early 9/9) and Hero Boba Green either.
Thanks for the video. The one reason to run frozen in carbonite ABOVE other removal is that, unlike most blue removal, it isn’t conditional. Also, I’ve gone up to 3 General R, just so solid and annoying to play against- which is a good sign.
With Fennec, I think old Han might be the leader for her considering you can defeat a resource and thus be selective on what cost cards start making it into your discard pile.
I've always thought that criminal muscle is an underrated card. I haven't played much with it since pre-release, but even bouncing a shield etc can be valuable. Bounties and traitorous are obvious excellent targets.
Great video! Totally agree with everything you have to say! I’ve been running Palp’s Return for exactly the reason you described! Pairs great with Enterprising Lackeys, letting you send a resourced card to discard when it dies!
its interesting about fennec, I just brewed a han (set 1) vigilance with kuil, ezra + han ability . it allows to fill graveyard pretty easy and specially choose what you want to put in to mix cost. may not be tier 1 but very fun to play when you ambush fennec for 6-7 dmg. can also cheat fennec when at 5 ressource if needed with double han ability
You have quickly become my go to resource for SWU. I agreed with all these picks, but was surprised by your number 1. That card wasn’t even on my radar… I’ll have to give it a go in my Boba Cunning.
I have fennec in my han sideboards for the grind match ups and any big leader match ups. Better in han green since you go to 8 and it's easier to get 6. Also pretty good in aphra but... yeah... I'm still trying to make fetch happen.
I am starting to tinker with Mono green Hero Boba who can ECL him out as a 7/8 Sentinel on turn 6 which takes care of most leaders. Add him to Enterprising Lackeys and you have some crazy strong ECL targets. They aren't bad with Timely Intervention either.
Except it just usually won’t do that. Ideally they trade before you spend resources, especially since typically players prioritize attacking w units they have out before spending resources. After turn 4 or 5, the yellow player is probably resourcing Evazan. It’s a great card, especially w Ma Klounky.
@@iamwooooo not at all what I expected for an overlooked card list. I don’t love it for the cost. But I could see its usefulness in late game. But I think I’d rather Surprise Strike or Hotshot Blaster over this.
Already agree with you with the first card. Evazan is such a sleeper. There's the obvious ma klounkee combo but elsewhere it's a great turn 1. Just make sure you don't give them resources haha
I agree. He feels like the Admiral Ozzel of set 2 for me. People read the downside and dismiss a great card. The amount of times that Ozzel has no downside at all is too much to ignore. Especially if you're slamming a Palpatine unit/Imperial Interceptor/Snowtrooper Lieutenant to remove their only exhausted unit(s).
Fennec is a beast in aphra lol. Got messed up hard by her in a weekly play matchup. Rieekan is so underrated. Made a mono green hera deck with him in it, and he won me two games just on damage and making home one a sentinel.
Ruthless raider good but it seems all the red Villainy decks aren't great. Tried making book and vader work but their removal is too inefficient and their top end isn't as good as the blue villainy top end. Got a deck that's working?

Very cool interaction!

You nailed Frozen in Carbonite - love its inclusion. It has been a MVP for me. Also gives control another out vs. TIE Phantoms.

The force is definitely with me! 👋🏻 great video!
jetpack has been my favorite card in the set. i’ve been playing it in han2 yellow. absolute powerhouse of a card
Same. Comes down and protects your best unit while pumping power. Yes.
its interesting about fennec, I just brewed a han (set 1) vigilance with kuil, ezra + han ability . it allows to fill graveyard pretty easy and specially choose what you want to put in to mix cost. may not be tier 1 but very fun to play when you ambush fennec for 6-7 dmg. can also cheat fennec when at 5 ressource if needed with double han ability
Sounds interesting!
You have quickly become my go to resource for SWU. I agreed with all these picks, but was surprised by your number 1. That card wasn’t even on my radar… I’ll have to give it a go in my Boba Cunning.
Much appreciated! Good luck in testing!
Frozen in carbonite can be
devastating in draft/sealed. I've started drafting them frequently when I'm in yellow or villany
I have fennec in my han sideboards for the grind match ups and any big leader match ups. Better in han green since you go to 8 and it's easier to get 6. Also pretty good in aphra but... yeah... I'm still trying to make fetch happen.
Target is in the board for my Hondo. I am still a sucker for the fetch a 3 drop bounty in main
Agree about Reeikan. I wonder if we will see an uptick in mono-green Leia with this card?
Possible, but I'd look to combine him with other colors first.
I like him better in mono-Green Hera, mono-Green Hunter, and in decks with Blue or Yellow that have other Sentinels that he can buff
I am starting to tinker with Mono green Hero Boba who can ECL him out as a 7/8 Sentinel on turn 6 which takes care of most leaders. Add him to Enterprising Lackeys and you have some crazy strong ECL targets. They aren't bad with Timely Intervention either.
Im sensing a shield heavy theme here woo!
Definitely.
I smile everytime i see an evazan played against me. Cool cant wait to double my resources this turn.
He naturally shouldn't be played in to every board state or in to every deck. But when he's good, he puts in work.

Why!?

@@mjbaysinger that's precisely why I think it's overlooked!

Can't just slam him at will, but he has a lot of upside.

@@pdandeneau4659 nice!
Great content, and my experience reflects yours. Heads up, that’s not how you pronounce Reeiken. It should rhyme with “Die Ken”.
Thanks for letting me know!
Would love to see what you're working on for cad, have a list?
I share additional lists on my patreon, which has a free and subscription tier!
@@iamwooooo I've never used patreon. I'll look into it.
Ruthless raider good but it seems all the red Villainy decks aren't great. Tried making book and vader work but their removal is too inefficient and their top end isn't as good as the blue villainy top end. Got a deck that's working?
I feature more deck lists on my patreon at this time if you'd like to check that out.
evazan is a trap lol
Maybe.
@@iamwooooo its a definitely, fugitive wookiee is a way better play
Second =(
