Really nice, well reasoned analysis. Appreciate the lack of hyperbole and shouting (which seems to be listed somewhere in the RUclips guidebook as the way to get views). I mostly play this for fun with family, but we have a tournament at a local store this weekend and although we don't expect to win my son and I agreed to try as hard as we can and see what happens. This is a very helpful look at what's going on out there and also a healthy reminder that your deck, no matter how good, may still lose to something through a combination of unfavorable matchup and unfavorable draw despite your best effort.
Good point I didn't talk about mirror matchups! Yeah I love playing control decks but hate control mirrors, especially when rounds are only 55 minutes long.
Planning to take Leia red to a local $1K this weekend. I am thinking like you are, that everyone is going to bring control and my hope is to out run those decks!

Thank you! And good luck for the tournament.
I'm also planning to play Boba Yellow. I have two Snowtrooper Lieutenants in the main deck to lean more aggro and help hold the initiative.
That's a good idea, might have to try that out!
nice video! you forgot to mention how control mirror are a nightmare

Good luck! Red Leia is super fast.
At my tourney this weekend 7 of top 8 were aggro.
Yeah, seems to have been a response to the control decks!
