Looking forward to testing this out! I switched to a force focused Mando blue good stuff that's been very solid, but more of a tempo game seems very fun.
Is this the deck that maybe uses Final Showdown as a finisher? Tempo seems strong enough to keep them from trading efficiently, so maybe you can play aggressively enough and have enough board to knock them out with it?
Why outer rim headhunter over alliance xwing? In my set 1 testing I found alliance the more reliable early piece in yellow, and you have enough built up for Mando turn I don't think you need the small extra tap. I might be missing underworld synergy tho.
I like that it’s yellow in case we wanna bring in gammos post board but I think the two are pretty interchangeable unless you’re playing some underworld stuff which we aren’t yet .
Have there been any recent developments with this decklist? As observed, hard control is a tough matchup for this deck. Overall my sideboard: 1x Spark of Rebellion, 2x Relentless Pursuit, 2x Rogue Operatives, 2x Confiscate, 2x Spare the Target, 1x Waylay. The sideboard is pretty much catered to Mono-Blue Qi'ra which I've been struggling against due to those pesky sentinels (take out: 1x Jedi Lightsaber [Darksaber stand in], 3x Ezra, 2x This is the Way, 2x Outer Rim Headhunter > put in: 2x Confiscate, 1x Spark of Rebellion, 2x Spare the Target, 1x Waylay, 2x Rogue Operative). 2x Relentless Pursuit is mostly there for certain aggro matchups (Bo-Katan Mandos), with so much removal in hard control it doesn't perform super great there. Has anyone else found some success with different cards against hard control? I've been tinkering with Village Protectors and Concord Dawn Interceptors and I think I'm leaning more towards Y-Wings over Outer Rim Headhunter.
I plan on revisiting this deck after gen con but I think you’ve identified that but unfortunately has some serious issues. I have some ideas and plan to update tho. Thanks for asking!
I been playing mando only and I’ve gone through it all. Struggles against later game decks you just run out of steam so I have qi ra and sparks to help counter some things and I have some more late game units like 2 mando 2 fen rau 1 han solo I have 2 rivals falls 2 takedowns etc some stuff that’s better for later on in the game
I also have quil instead for drawing cause most of my deck is blue I also use ezra and kanan and electro staffs and quils mandalorian Armour jet packs etc
@@SWU_KTOD interesting! I honestly think the most impactful use is the shield on Mando leader and if that's not giving you value, then no need to have it in there. Just seemed to fit the 2 cost theme, but I can see how it'd be too narrow. In that sideboard that has all the Mando units, I can see it being more impactful.
20 upgrades/events vs 30 units seems rough. Cunning Boba can have the “wrong” half starting hand problem with 15 events/35 units. I see you are making C3P0 and Ezra “enchantresses” here but I would think the unit count would have to go up even with them just to avoid bricked opening hands.

The mustache was really hitting for this one, great vid!

Hi thanks for sharing, wanted to ask when a unit enters with a shield or experience does the leader ability active?
It does not.
I’ve been trying to fit the 2 drop C-3PO engine into every deck I build lately ever since your cunning chewie deck 😂 love the golden boy
He is so good!
As a competitor in most tcgs would you say as a control mid range what is the best han solo from set 1.
I think green has proven itself the best

Sounds powerful. Definitely worth a shot!

I'm gonna try to maybe do a more mando slant. Pulled the showcase. 😁
Nice pull!

@@THSmjsmith sounds reasonable!
Yo I didn't know you were a Pokémon player. I'm planning to give more time to SWU after Pokémon worlds is over.
SWU is so fun but I'm pretty bad
Good luck at worlds! Just picked up Pokémon but been grinding the ladder. Hit master in about a week. Looking forward to playing more.
@@SWU_KTOD Thank you! This is my first time qualifying. I'm ready to chill and play SWU and FAB tho haha. Been learning a lot from you guys.
Did you test with Mandalorian Armor? 2 cost good upgrade, can shield the leader.
I tried it but felt too narrow in my games and I really want to set up that big swing with mando with blaster and rifle

I dont really belived on mando but your list look great

Haven’t run into units issue with this version of the build especially with 3P0 but it’s something to watch in testing.
Why no grogu?
I found the tapping redundant but he is a 2 who wears equipment well w a 5 booty so you can try him !
@@SWU_KTOD thank you! I'll definitely give him a chance. I cannot imagine a mando deck without grogu, maybe I'm too thematic to be competitive😂
Why no Luke’s lightsaber?
You can try it but I liked the defensive +1 from electrostaff and devotion
Mustache ride or a cop?
