Nice video man! I was the Sabine to place 2nd at both the UKTC 1k’s - lost to Josh as I had little to no experience vs han1 yellow lol - also he’s an excellent player!
The reason Han Yellow is better than Han Green is because DJ doesn't rely on the tech combo in double yellow. The Han yellow flip turn into 7 resources gets DJ out, no tech needed and the opponent is left floundering on 4 resources.
You're right about the variances being high! I got 3rd place with my Jyn (the top 2 Jyn decks on swudb are mine). There are some B tier decks that, if rep a heap of games and understand the matchups, can take games from A tier decks. You can even play competively against S tier decks, whilst maybe only winning 1/5 games. That's what I love about star wars unlimited so far!
I just recently attended a store showdown over an hour away from me, only to find a store where they only ever regularly host draft, so this was their first constructed event. Everyone there was a regular, and I was one of only 3 people with a set 1 leader there. I took 2nd with Boba Green (Rey Red one and I did not face that deck).
I won the showdown with Palp Blue in my local store. Also had to go through two Sabines (ECL/Yellow) and then in the final against a Boba Yellow. Very tough and close matches (against Sabine/ECL I dropped to 1 HP), but Palp Blue was a lot of fun and also surprised the opponents a bit. Draw Luck was also on my Side so
Love the analysis, but I see very conflicting opinions on the variety of the meta. Some think there is very little variety while others say there is plenty, and point to a list of top decks including Palp Green and others. I tend to agree with Vermazing about the lack of budget competitive decks and the lack of variety where it seems Yellow (usually Boba) dominates with tempo. I watched your video on the Boba problem, and I wonder if you think there is enough variety in the meta to keep the game going. I may be wrong for the wider audience, but if there is no budget way to realistically compete at all (better than a 10% win chance), it is a turn off to the game, and it starts to lose interest for me.
There are plenty of budget options that can compete. Tarkin Yellow, Cad Red, theres a series on garbage rollers called penny pinchers where they put up 2 competitive budget decks under $20. Sabine is budget now outside of darksaber and poe and most lists can just cut the saber. You can put something else in the poe slot and just run wrecker and its still pretty good. It also depends what you mean by "budget" as well. Also depends what you have to begin with. You can buy almost any deck core for $15 or less. Its the high end cards that get you so you target the ones that cover the most range and you acquire over time. For me that was Luke, Vader, Boba & Poe. From there i branched out. Im on Han2 Blue now and also have built Rey Yellow, Hondo Blue (very budget. VERY competitive.) 2x Supreme leader snoke, 1x SLB is all that takes. Gideon hask and childsen are monsters. its incredible but again there are cheaper versions of midrange decks like that too. Theres a Rey Yellow deck that runs a bunch of spectre units and Obi wan and Han at the top end thats been crushing. Theres a mono red GI deck that i think the only expensive cards in the whole deck is Kylos Ship & Aggression? They're around $10 each if im correct. Thats a good combo kind of deck. If you go that direction Theres thenn kylo reanimator that just topped a tournament pumping out palpatines and mauls like nobody's business. Theres a whole bunch of options. Just look at what you have and compare it with what you want to play and buy the cheap bulk for it, build it and add to over time as you acquire the stuff you need.
It's MUCH closer than 10%. Compared to a lot of other TCGs, our budget options (Tarkin Yellow probably being the best in terms of expense and competitive viability) are actually quite good and have placed in some tournaments.
@@VeiledShotSWU Thank you very much for both your and Rezzy's thoughtful responses. Is there a database of tournament winners somewhere? I would like to see a compilation of data, and I haven't found a database like that so far.

Mandatory daily comment:
Han Blue Best Deck.
Love it my friend!
Who cares? Why always play the “best decks”? Cowardice and boooooring like this video…
