I think you're drastically underestimating Anakin. Compare the unit side to Maul. Both come out on 6. Anakin is likely at least a 6 attack - maybe up to 8. He is also has more hp. Both have Overwhelm. Then let's compare the Anakin leader ability - you give up 2 health to be able to significantly trade up on a kill. Let's say that Anakin and Maul are facing off and each player has a 2/2 and a 4/4 on the table. Walk through the various scenarios (Maul attacks first versus Anakin attacking first, attacking with a 2/2 or 4/4 first, etc...) and see who ends up looking better at the end of the round. Yoda, Anakin and Palps top my list of leaders I'd want to play if the cards support it in my prerelease events.
Anakin and Maul are my top 2 choices. I also like the idea of Jango Fett with the right card pool. But yeah, I agree, I think you’re underestimating the power of Anakin Skywalker.
My son and I both went with Anakin for our prerelease last night. My son went 3-0 and I went 2-1 with my only loss being super close. I had a subpar card pool, but anakins ability to have units trade up does so much work in the early and mid game.
Oof. Anakin in "C" feels very wrong. Maybe I'm missing something? He seems so good at trading up and has amazing potential as a finisher. So much better than Asajj in limited since she seems to need more of a build-around.
Uhh, Anakin is S tier in limited. Almost, if not, OP

I’m excited to hear you mix up Rex and Cody’s names for the next few months! 🤣

Anakin dominated my prerelease last night. Top 4 of 24 players was Anakin, all undefeated until the final round.
Anakin has felt the power of down side
