Their opponent had taken the initiative so they couldn't take anymore actions, at that point the Han player can take as many actions in a row as they can before passing for the round themselves

@@toomas5948 thanks but I believe Matt took the initiative afterwards. right?

​@@timheinrichsonPretty sure Matt had already taken the initiative, I think the commentator was incorrect or slightly behind on commenting on the plays

@@toomas5948 matt played a unit. Sundeep deployed han and attacked straight away. after the attack, matt points at the initiative token. seems clear to me :-)

​@@timheinrichson If that is 100% the case then sundeep shouldn't have been allowed to deploy han and attack straight away. Part of me wants to think that Matt was simply reiterating to sundeep they have the initiative already or that they were simply nervously touching each of their resources and then the initiative token as it's a high pressure situation

Oh, Tech is on the field so it's only 5 single yellow. Right, moving on with my life.

Tech is definitely an easy one to miss. That card will make a big impact on the meta moving forward.

If it’s the turn I remember, I had to play around traitorous. I felt I had enough time to wait, but if he traitorouses my slt I think I’m blown out.

​@mranks he was the turn where the oppo was going to 7th resource using double effect of han solo on g2

Thanks, man! If there is enough interest in that, I would be more than happy to.

Did I accidentally say that at some point? I don't think I did, but anything is possible!

@@Next-GenGamingSC Nah, it's just they way you pronounce "barrage" makes me think "garage" every time. Then I think of the overwhelming mess in my garage.

At that point it was 20 damage if he did not pull a ground sentinel. I think it was probably a little soon as well, but I don't know what cards he had on hands. It's a card game and the RNG would get you sometimes

Palpatine can be a slow deck, and deploying Palpatine effectively usually means stealing something valuable from your opponent. Conversely, Han is all about playing effectively above the resource curve. In the third match, Palpatine didn't get significant resource ramp, and the Han player managed to fairly effectively flood the board, make Palpatine's only deploy choice a sub-optimal one, and then played down the Han unit which can be pretty devastating if you don't have an immediate answer, as he takes no damage back when he attacks and defeats a unit. Basically, a slow deck played against a fast deck, and got outpaced. It happens. The second game is a good indicator of what happens when the slow deck can safely ramp and stabilise.

I wholeheartedly believe this is a fantastic game. This particular game was just a tough one for Matt. He did not have the answers he needed in hand to slow Sundeep down and felt it was just best to move on to the next game. Unfortunately, games like this happen in all TCGs from time to time.

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy all of the coverage.

He was fixated on killing Qi’Ra to get out Vader. Yes he could have flipped Palp or Walkered but game was still pretty much over.

I would have sac Yularen after playing it then ping Han so I could steal it next turn with Palp flip

Wouldn't be able to flip Palp though after the DJ resource steal.

@@Moy_ DJ cost 9 w/o Tech so Han player would need to play Tech to smuggle it next turn, Palp player then take initiative and flip Palp right away

Oh you mean the turn before?

It was a great weekend, and I hope that you enjoy all of the coverage!

I have been itching to get some out. Baltimore was great!

What do you mean he got so popular so fast? He’s been popular since the release of the first set.

@@brandonjohnson9876 not as much as boba and sabine popular

It is nice to see different decks for sure! Han made a big splash this past weekend.

He deployed Vader as early as he could in the first game, on seven resources. You must have seven resources before you can bring Vader out.

It appears as though he did forget to defeat a resource at least once. Thankfully it did not change the outcome of the match.

Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it!

No, I was only getting coverage for the event. This was just a picture from one of the feature matches.

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the coverage. Blue control can be quite rough for sure.

It was great to get behind the mic again!

I really do appreciate that! It was definitely a great match.

Glad you enjoyed it! It is definitely nice to feel better and not have the cough anymore. My voice still wasn't 100% when this was recorded, but it was great to get behind the mic again.

I really do appreciate that! It was great to get behind the mic again.

I will be releasing footage from the SCG 1k and 2k that took place over this weekend.

I really appreciate that! It was great to be behind the mic again.

Thank you so much! It was great to get behind the mic again.

I completely agree. Unfortunately, Josh was unaware that it worked that way. The players discussed it after the match.

Blake used the epic action ability on his base (Energy Conversion Lab) to play Steadfast Battalion and give it ambush. That allows you to attack with it into another unit right away.

@@Next-GenGamingSC thanks!

@@hellspawn8795 You're welcome!

I was glad to be able to do it again! My voice was still not 100% when this was recorded, but I am finally getting there.

@@Next-GenGamingSC My friend and I both got hit hard by event plague at our local pre-release and it ruined our voices, so I can relate.

Glad you enjoyed that!

Last weekend

This store showdown took place at the end of May.

Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words. It is awesome to hear that you just started playing the game. It really is a fantastic game with great mechanics. I hope you and your brother continue to enjoy it and find a good local scene to get some organized play in. As for commentary, I do not currently do this professionally, but that is my goal. It is something I am very passionate about, and I am in the process of trying to take the right steps to move in the direction of making it a full-time career. I do appreciate all the ideas and will absolutely be checking out that channel, as I will look to improve my coverage of future events. Thanks for your support and for being a part of the channel!

I really appreciate that!

Glad to hear that! I think it is a nice little touch.

We are in the Upstate of South Carolina and play at a few different stores in the Greenville area.

It is interesting to see all the different shuffling techniques that players have.

Welcome to the game! It is a great one. I am also glad to hear that the commentary is helping. I have a passion for play-by-play commentary.

Thanks! That is awesome to hear! I play with my son as well, and we have really been enjoying it.
