i just bought this game 2 days ago (zach already knows this, i was talking to him on twitter) and this video is just what i needed. thanks for the great content!
You guys make the best tabletop gaming videos on the world!!!! :D And your learn to play videos are amazing! I always recommend them to friends who want to get to know Netrunner, L5R... I'm glad you brought Destiny back (it's been a while). I really wish we would have regular content with X-Wing (it's been so long!), L5R, Destiny, Netrunner... And the tournament coverages... I get it that other people are doing it but, with all respect and appreciation I have for anyone who's recording or streaming the tournaments, no one does it with the Team Covenant quality. IMHO the X-Wing System Open final with triple Scouts vs Imperial Aces was the best tabletop gaming coverage ever! I really miss that degree of care and quality . I get it that it would not be feasible for every game from every tournament, but it would be great to see again the "regular" coverage for swiss/cut on big tournaments like X-Wing System Opens, L5R Grand Koteis, Worlds, etc. and maybe even the "premium" coverage for those tournament finals. :) Thanks again for the content. You guys really do a lot for the community and we're grateful for that. :)
Great video, guys! The after-effects were very well done. I already know how to play, but I watched the video anyway 'cause you guys are just so darn entertaining.
I learned how to play watching your initial "how to" and I am so excited to be getting into this game and to watch this developing series. I also picked up your token set for Destiny and I absolutely love them! Great work.
Thank you for the support! This series will be much more comprehensive. We have gotten much better since those early videos, especially when it comes to the accompanying blogs on our site.
Team Covenant Will there be a Legacies overall thoughts video in the pipeline? It's my first set (only had the 2player box) and I'm interested in your guy's thoughts on it.
Got the two player set for Christmas. This has become my son’s and my favorite tabletop game. It’s much easier to buy a 3 dollar booster than x wing ships in a budget. Have to accept that I won’t have everything but it’s so much fun to open up packs when I get one. Thanks for the videos on this game. Your videos have been a great learning tool! Keep up the great work.
Just want to say you guys continue to rock! Not only do you put out some of the best product on the market to supplement our gaming addictions, but the support you provide the community is stellar. I'm new to this game as of this week and already watched an older video you guys put out of actual game play but I'm looking forward to the newer version to go along with this series. Great job on this "What is" video! I'm sure there are plenty of single cards that a lot of people ask questions to better define what the card does but there are two things I've seen come up more than once that I still get confused about... 1) When an upgrade card includes the word "Redeploy"... what exactly does that mean? I'm assuming that it can be placed automatically under another character if and when the character it's it's currently gets removed from the game. 2) Similar question but what does it mean when a card says "assign the "Guardian Keyword"? Are there many Keywords in the world of Star Wars Destiny? It would be excellent if you touched on this in your next video for some of us new guys/girls. Thanks again! -Duc
Thank you Duc! So great to hear. We do address your questions in upcoming videos, but quickly: 1) Redeploy - when a character is defeated, any upgrades with redeploy can be immediately attached to any other character(s) on your side of the board. Just slide the upgrade(s) over! 2) Only a few Keywords, which you can find in the rules reference. Guardian means that when the character with Guardian activates, it can remove an opponent's die showing damage and apply that damage to itself. Like a good bodyguard would.
These are amazing videos as always. I do hope that a series of Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn comes in, now that Asmodee owns them and they are producing product again.
Haha, I just played the starter 2 player game last night with a friend. I played team Kylo and he played team Rey. I won twice, it was very one sided against for the first half of the first game, and then it was very one sided for the second half. The second game was very one sided in favor, but then balanced out towards the end and Phasma had one life left when she finished the goodies off. Anyway, it was very random, and kinda crazy/frustrating at times.
That happened to my friend just before the very end of the final game, he only had to roll one damage, on three dice, and re rolled them 3 times and got blanks or resources each time, it hurt to watch.
He got an all expenses paid trip to Blank City. Most of us just visit. Some of us end up living there.

Great tutorial! You can tell the game was designed by Lukas Litzsinger. The way of resolving dice reminds me a lot of the way of resolving combat tokens in Runebound third edition, another one of his designs. Star Wars Destiny is awesome. Too bad they already closed it :(
hey Team Covenant i have an idea that will sell well as a card game can y'all help me get a hold of the right people? star wars is one of them. thanks for making these great videos, God bless.
So this game isn’t a deck builder game like transformers/magic? I’ve looked into keyforge which also looks quite cool. I’m thinking of jumping into a card game series but I have no one to play with or even a local table top community. I
Team Covenant, Will you be doing coverage of the upcoming and current X-wing tournaments? I was an enormous fan and subscribed to this channel due to how entertaining those streams with your coverage was. I was an enormous fan of how these videos, covering large tournaments, helped build the competitive x-wing community and was a key factor in getting me into x-wing. I am very excited to be able to enjoy these streams with the upcoming x-wing tournaments. Sorry if this is not relevant to the video.
Hey Kasoshai! Great to hear that our X-Wing videos were so appealing! We are planning to attend Adepticon and will definitely be checking out the Open Series there.
It really depends on the card here Jake, cards played from your hand are usually discarded. Supports and upgrade are not, if the text does not begin with Action. Ie - Bubble shield can be used at any time and it does not exhaust.
I bought the two starter boxes before this inclusive set came out... is there any reason to get this box? Probably one of the most popular noob questions, sorry!
the 2 player starter has some of the best cards in the game. rey and poe has been a dominating deck and poe has many great pairings from the new legacies sets. kylo is considered the best character in the game, as he has the potential to do 2 extra damage a round with his ability. this starter also has very powerful cards like rey's lightsaber, poe's blaster, crossguard lightsaber, sound the alarm, and several others. it's worth buying 2 of these to get 2 of each character die, as well as duplicates of the other cards you'll want to play in several decks.
Peter is right - there are great cards in there. But if budget is the primary concern, using your current starters is just fine! We will cover this in the buyer's guide as well. Picking up a couple of starters with the characters that you like is a fine option.
I believe I found my answer, "The color of a character and its upgrades do not have to match. A character can have an upgrade that does not match its color," according to the 1.5 Rules.
We took a pass at it originally, but we have 1) honed the learning model since then and 2) the fundamental upgrade replacement rule has changed - so those early videos are no longer accurate!
There are some strategies that get around the blind booster buying that will be covered in the buyer's guide, but with Draft/Sealed and Saga Sets, things can get as blind or not-blind as you like.
U may say that I’m lying but before this game came out I thought there was a movie called Star Wars destiny and I as wrong and then I said there going to be a game or something called Star Wars destiny and look I was right for the first time I told the future

Thank you Juarez - your comment is incredibly meaningful. We appreciate the feedback!
Great video, guys! The after-effects were very well done. I already know how to play, but I watched the video anyway 'cause you guys are just so darn entertaining.
I just bought some destiny stuff so this was super helpful!
I learned how to play watching your initial "how to" and I am so excited to be getting into this game and to watch this developing series. I also picked up your token set for Destiny and I absolutely love them! Great work.

That is awesome Alan, welcome to the game! Let us know if you have any questions!
Got my regional this Saturday. Your videos helped me become a better player.
Best of luck! No blanks!
Team Covenant that's why I'm running Yoda 😄
Oooh, I have been waiting for this. Keep up the wonderful work guys!
Tbh I don't care at all about destiny but these videos are so chill that I watch them anyway for some reason.
How did I not know this Wonderful Place existed in my home town of Tulsa [Face Palm]? I. WILL. PLAY. THIS. GAME!
Come by anytime! We always have a chair for you. The best night for Destiny is Wednesdays - teamcovenant.com/calendar/events !

Great. Easy to understand and looks fun.
Don't forget you can pass as an action.

Thank you Ralph!

Anyway, it was very random, and kinda crazy/frustrating at times.
By the end of this series, nothing will seem random!
Except those times when you roll all blanks...
That happened to my friend just before the very end of the final game, he only had to roll one damage, on three dice, and re rolled them 3 times and got blanks or resources each time, it hurt to watch.
He got an all expenses paid trip to Blank City. Most of us just visit. Some of us end up living there.

Thanks! You helped this uncle save the day after my 11 year old nephew bought the game, but couldn't figure it out.
Good luck!

What a great game to play
Blank is stormtrooper aim
Great videos :) But where do you buy your playmats?

Hey Kasoshai! Great to hear that our X-Wing videos were so appealing! We are planning to attend Adepticon and will definitely be checking out the Open Series there.
If you use a card Action, such as described @23:47, do you exhaust the card or not? (I believe not...)
It really depends on the card here Jake, cards played from your hand are usually discarded. Supports and upgrade are not, if the text does not begin with Action. Ie - Bubble shield can be used at any time and it does not exhaust.
I bought the two starter boxes before this inclusive set came out... is there any reason to get this box? Probably one of the most popular noob questions, sorry!

Peter is right - there are great cards in there. But if budget is the primary concern, using your current starters is just fine! We will cover this in the buyer's guide as well. Picking up a couple of starters with the characters that you like is a fine option.
Could you attach the Rey's upgrade (blue die) to Poe who is a red character?
I believe I found my answer, "The color of a character and its upgrades do not have to match. A character can have an upgrade that does not match its color," according to the 1.5 Rules.
That is correct, though there are cards, like Force Lightning, that specify "Blue characters only".
You MAY want to get TH-cam to NOT link the page to the Destiny Videogame, however....
We are working on it, it is surprisingly difficult to remove!
It would seem hollywood's love of reboots has infected Talus, OK. The Destiny How To did need a refresh. Other good video guys.
It is January after all. Reboot season! Worth noting too that the upgrade replacement rules change made those earlier videos inaccurate.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!!🤗
How many supports can be in game ?
Unlimited.
@@teamcovenant thanks
Didn't you guys already do this a year ago?
We took a pass at it originally, but we have 1) honed the learning model since then and 2) the fundamental upgrade replacement rule has changed - so those early videos are no longer accurate!
i cannot support a collectible game; that's a shame because the design is brilliant but i juste HATE buying blind boosters
There are some strategies that get around the blind booster buying that will be covered in the buyer's guide, but with Draft/Sealed and Saga Sets, things can get as blind or not-blind as you like.
Harder to draft if you don't live in a city though
By just buying starters you can have a pretty fun pool of cards to choose from for the price of a board game.
U may say that I’m lying but before this game came out I thought there was a movie called Star Wars destiny and I as wrong and then I said there going to be a game or something called Star Wars destiny and look I was right for the first time I told the future
20 minutes? I've never played a game that short. Who you playing with?
People in a hurry to roll dice, that is for sure.
Do they even make baseball cards anymore?
69 comments.. nice...... well i guess i have to ruin it
