Very pleased that the Shadow Collective is bringing some new strategies without major rule changes. The flexibility within the current rule set a major plus.
those grey symbols are supposed to be like that. They said on the A-A5 stream its to represent that they are a merc and they can only go in battleforces
May the 4th be with you! I got into legion about a month ago after looking for a new fun but also cheap hobby and never having done miniatures or mini games before, and listening to your videos has been an absolute blessing during my 12+hour shifts trying to learn the game with an insanely busy schedule. I had no knowledge, army, and just enough cash to pick up a clone wars starter kit less than a handful of weeks ago, but after binge watching your videos now I feel as if I’ve been able to build a way more competitive list for just as an affordable cost without having to be initially chained to the starter. This channel and your discord are more than worthy of a spot in the Jedi Archives, subscribed and I look forward to those notifications every day.
I love your videos! very informative. Recently got into legion and cant wait to keep expanding my collection. This shadow collective box looks awesome! and maul is my second favorite character in the star wars universe next to Ahsoka
I'm just not seeing it with the Darksaber. Less points to just double blade him as an Op and make the Pykes and/or Black sun your 2 leaders, or even Gar Saxon on a heavy mando list. So far seems like the lists are Lots of Pykes (or black sun but not as good) or lots of mandos and only take 2 mercs. I dont see where Maul fits in either of those as a Commander. Great OP but not seeing the practicality of a darksaber list
Everything in the shadow collective looks really fun so far, but I’m weirdly looking forward to up close and personal. I can see it being really good on a unit with gunslinger like Rex and Han, or on Bane with steady. Grievous with the annihilator pistol and his trained in your Jedi arts card would be really good I think with that upgrade.
One of the players in our okay group did the math and determined that 4 white 4 red averages 4 hits where as 6 black surging to crit averages 3.75 hits. So standard saber is a bit better without taking any other upgrades into account. I am pretty excited to get this Maul on the table. I think with his original 2 pip you can protect him from long range lists then pop burst of speed and/or force push to get him into your opponent's lines and start causing mayhem. Then you play the Witch Magik card to clear the immobilize and recover force push and you are able to do a fair bit of work while you position the rest of your army.
15:15- Yeah, but only 2 wounds and no, the 1st wound doesn’t count! Because it would just come back the next time he activates!!! Doesn’t really matter…… I’ve never used him in a game and I’ve never played as this army to let me use him even if I wanted to!
is mother talzin art on the 1pip an easter egg for a future release?! a core of night sisters would work pretty well or a strike team with assaj (ie against dooku)...
I wouldn't mind if Maul happens to have a way to play alongside the republic as a salute to his distraction for Ahsoka's escape. ... Which means we also need Ahsoka on the tables!
4:01- I know this is a old video and all this stuff has been out for awhile now. But I still think the last keyword is dumb and how he is really only has 5 wounds!?! And if you’re one of those DAM that says “no, he has 6 wounds” then obviously you can’t do math! Because the last keyword on his card says you automatically lose 1 the 1st time he activates!!! Even if it wasn’t for that I still think he should have more health then 6!?! Not much more……. Maybe 7 or 8. And 9 if you keep that last keyword. I was so excited for this box to come out, until we got to see Maul’s cards!!! It was like we were promised a Philly cheese stake grinder (or sub for the DAM that would act like they don’t know what I’m talking about when I said grinder). And we ended up getting a Bologna sandwich!!!! Oh well!
I am excitedly awaiting the release of the Shadow Collective. I cannot wait to put these models together and field them. Good job on the video. And thank the gods you are not a voice actor. Lol. ;)
I still think you're mistaken on what mercenaries are. I'm pretty sure they will be a separate entity than the Shadow Collective. Now that we have seen more of the cards, Maul has a "bloody hand" faction image for his Shadow Collective faction. Mercenaries seem to have a "credits" faction image, denoting their Mercenary (faction?? Status?? Keyword??) Death Watch / Mandalorian units are probably NOT going to be Mercenaries!
Groovy stuff was heard indeed!!! I’m so excited for Maul! And the idea of getting an extra merc on the team… I mean I can add Cad, Bossk, and Fett to the same team? Or 7 Pyke Troop slots? This just seems so good…
I’m kind of new to this game but how do you know what cards can go with what. In the video he said he wanted to use Up Close and Personal with the Wookiees. Could someone please explain it?
Does maul only come in the starter box? If anyone plans on buying two copies I'd love to buy the extra maul from them as it's the only one I'm interested in.
Completely confused about the fact that Maul is a operative. But we shall see what happens. And love the Witch Magic card art. Gives me hope about future Night Sisters faction/ Shadow Collective
I’ve been wanting to start legion for a while and the shadow collective release is calling me lol. Maul looks nice tho, wonder if he can still use the probe droids…
my bigest hope is that you can use the mandolorian super commandos with the republic. I love clones and I love mandolorians. I would be very disapointed because there are a bunch of mandolorians that worked with kenobi and the republic in the clone wars show.
I just bought Separatist Maul and was worried he would be a duplicate if I got Shadow Collective. Glad to see he's getting some cool new cards! So is Din Djarin getting a Darksaber too? Or whenever we get Bo Katan Kryze will she have that option? (Darksabers for everyone! lol)
Very pleased that the Shadow Collective is bringing some new strategies without major rule changes. The flexibility within the current rule set a major plus.
Up close and personal is one of my favorite upgrades to come out in a while. Cool combo with Mandos and Fleets!
SC Maul does lose a training upgrade slot. Whomp. Whomp.
Witch Magick doesn’t require Maul to activate for the healing to apply, only to recover. So you could still use it if you’re in a desperate spot.
Dude I can’t wait to see Darksaber Maul in action
those grey symbols are supposed to be like that. They said on the A-A5 stream its to represent that they are a merc and they can only go in battleforces
I’m still blown away they’re doing Maul and the shadow collective at all.
Right
May the 4th be with you!

I'll admit- I made happy Sabine noises when Up Close and Personal was shown.
It’s great to see how supported Legion is!
I love your videos! very informative. Recently got into legion and cant wait to keep expanding my collection. This shadow collective box looks awesome! and maul is my second favorite character in the star wars universe next to Ahsoka
Am I right in saying that if you want want maul as your commander he MUST have the darksaber?
I'm just not seeing it with the Darksaber. Less points to just double blade him as an Op and make the Pykes and/or Black sun your 2 leaders, or even Gar Saxon on a heavy mando list. So far seems like the lists are Lots of Pykes (or black sun but not as good) or lots of mandos and only take 2 mercs. I dont see where Maul fits in either of those as a Commander.

Can't wait for you to review the full box.
Been looking forward to this. Also May the 4th Be With You!
Happy Star Wars day!

Grievous with the annihilator pistol and his trained in your Jedi arts card would be really good I think with that upgrade.
I didn’t even consider Grievous! That’s a good point
Up close and personal on rex? Two dodge per turn with gunsligner, shared with other clones
Hot dang. Each new spoiler/teaser just makes me more and more excited to play.
Wound is pretty good on Maul, don't get me wrong, but 5 wounds? Yikes.
Maul was already pretty squishy as it was.
At least he's immune to pierce, I play rex normally do I'm used to this lmao
I like your Maul hat. Definitely the height of fashion.

I really appreciate the Ted Talk about star wars week at the end hahahaha
Rewatch the video. Only look at the Maul mask and imagine he's watching fireworks.
These videos are great and still my no.1 source of news
15:15- Yeah, but only 2 wounds and no, the 1st wound doesn’t count! Because it would just come back the next time he activates!!! Doesn’t really matter…… I’ve never used him in a game and I’ve never played as this army to let me use him even if I wanted to!
Pretty stoked for this new Maul. He looks fun!
This new Maul looks awesome with those new command cards and saber, love the videos
is mother talzin art on the 1pip an easter egg for a future release?! a core of night sisters would work pretty well or a strike team with assaj (ie against dooku)...
May the 4th be with you
And also with you!
Well, I can safely say that I was not expecting that intro lmao, thanks for the laugh Crab!
Any time!
I’m glad that I just got into legion cause having this to look forward to is so sick
Loved the intro!
And love the mask! My son just got one at Walmart and loves scaring his siblings.
Up Close and Personal works perfect for Clan Wren, just like the art suggests.
I really want to put up close and personal on Anakin with saber throw :D
Love the review. Can't wait for what else will come.
I wouldn't mind if Maul happens to have a way to play alongside the republic as a salute to his distraction for Ahsoka's escape. ... Which means we also need Ahsoka on the tables!
I'll imagine those two symbols will be Pyke and black sun symbols, enabling them to use his courage value. Either that or rebel and CIS.
MY BODY IS READY FOR THE SHADOW COLLECTIVE! I am especially excited for Maul Himself, especially with his Darksaber. Also happy Late may the 4th!
Thanks for the update!
Is your Maul doing his best impersonation of Yoda?
Stoked that I'll be able to play Maul with a different faction since he's one of my favorite characters, but I dont play CIS..at least I assume!
May the Force be whit all of us!
Just getting into Legion thanks to the may 4th uk deals and loving the new shadow collective stuff. Still want a Jabbas palace set.
New to the game. Very exciting time to join the community. Loving your content!
4:01- I know this is a old video and all this stuff has been out for awhile now. But I still think the last keyword is dumb and how he is really only has 5 wounds!?!

Thanks for all the helpful and informative videos!
happy may the 4th!
Very interested to see the rest of the cards for shadow collective.
I saw the newest Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer it's so cool that figure looks really awesome as well
I still think you're mistaken on what mercenaries are.
I'm pretty sure they will be a separate entity than the Shadow Collective.
Now that we have seen more of the cards, Maul has a "bloody hand" faction image for his Shadow Collective faction.
Mercenaries seem to have a "credits" faction image, denoting their Mercenary (faction?? Status?? Keyword??)
Death Watch / Mandalorian units are probably NOT going to be Mercenaries!
I love your stuff! Thanks for getting me into this hobby
That two pip with Black Sun enforcers though...
The first thing I said is there's no way he can see in that thing. And then more face arose from below 🤣🤣 that is beautiful haha
long shot.. with maul's hidden symbols.. he can be a REBEL operative.. I mean he did work with Ezra, and by work, I mean try to convert/corrupt him.
I wonder what will separate Maul's Mandos from the Rebel Mandos?
Up close and personal does seem like a good training card. Cannot wait for the Shadow Collective to come out.
Love your videos brother. Keep up the amazing work. Thanks for all that you do for the community
So what would the ruling be if Maul went up against Sabine regarding the Dark Saber? It would be cool to win the give away.
I can see them reducing the cost of Maul’s Dark Saber.
Groovy stuff was heard indeed!!!
I’m so excited for Maul! And the idea of getting an extra merc on the team… I mean I can add Cad, Bossk, and Fett to the same team? Or 7 Pyke Troop slots? This just seems so good…
I do hope you get a way to use his normal sabre with the dark sabre
Happy May the Fourth!
May the 4th be with ya!
The up close and personal card is a great upgrade card. Really hope to get one without having to get the Maul expansion
Love videos. Just getting into Legion and this is very helpful
Can't believe you did the whole video with the Maul head on 😂
No Arsenal on Maul :(
You should've done the whole video as Maul from the 1st person POV.
Can’t wait for the shadow collective
Going to build a Shadow Collective army. Best looking models by far and much better variety.
Who doesn’t love Maul
May the Fourth be with you
This is the May
Cant wait to use up close and personal with the rebels :D
I’m kind of new to this game but how do you know what cards can go with what. In the video he said he wanted to use Up Close and Personal with the Wookiees. Could someone please explain it?
Not surge to double critical?
Does maul only come in the starter box? If anyone plans on buying two copies I'd love to buy the extra maul from them as it's the only one I'm interested in.
Looking forward to the shadow collective. love maul's mandos
Completely confused about the fact that Maul is a operative. But we shall see what happens. And love the Witch Magic card art. Gives me hope about future Night Sisters faction/ Shadow Collective
Cannot wait. Love his new command cards. I’m always going full Maul hah
Can’t wait to play this faction
I’ve been wanting to start legion for a while and the shadow collective release is calling me lol. Maul looks nice tho, wonder if he can still use the probe droids…
I can’t wait for this to drop I need to get everything for this wave
my bigest hope is that you can use the mandolorian super commandos with the republic. I love clones and I love mandolorians. I would be very disapointed because there are a bunch of mandolorians that worked with kenobi and the republic in the clone wars show.
I'm so excited for this expansion
Agreed
I'm looking forward to the mandos to be revealed honestly
This looks really good. I just want to see the rule set though before I preorder, which means I’ll probably never preorder
Would this up close and personal be a good card for Rex?
He recovers at activation. I’m pretty sure he does the heal right away
Great intro LOL
Hope this never stops lol
So hyped for Maul….
Up close and personal -> Han and Chewie = 4 Dodge Tokens if Han can use Gunslinger and Chewie is near Han.
Wish you amazing star wars day. I must say i like the new maul. We in for interesting time
Same here!
So and now what ist Better? Darksaber or Doublesaber? For Maul?
I can’t wait for Shadow Collective to come out
I just bought Separatist Maul and was worried he would be a duplicate if I got Shadow Collective. Glad to see he's getting some cool new cards! So is Din Djarin getting a Darksaber too? Or whenever we get Bo Katan Kryze will she have that option? (Darksabers for everyone! lol)
Happy may 4th, I really like new maul, I'm hoping Gar Saxon is basically a new Rex, if he has scouting party I'm gonna be so happy
great card art
