Lots of one-off events to prepare of a slew of different circumstances. It worked very well, went 5-0 during swiss and only lost during the finals to a very good IG-88/FN2199 deck.

After playing, I would consider one less Swiftness, one Maz's Goggle swapped for Bowcaster (I was flush with cash most games), otherwise all the events and upgrades were almost always useful.

Hi there, what do you think about Second Chance? Do you think it is not necessary? Some games can be won by having it with the possibility of the recursion.

@TakeoSVK, I made a mistake; I actually run 1 Second Chance and 1 Fast Hands instead of 2 Fast Hands. Sorry for the mixup. I find I want that extra 5 hp on Han if I can get it, but during the tourney I never actually popped it, so maybe it's not needed after all?

I think Second Chance is really questionable in this meta as for some decks it is not so useful and if your opponent knows how to play around it (getting the rid of the Second Chance and killing you in the single round for example) it is just waste of the resources. However, if Han is killed early, there is not much to do in most cases.

I also like the idea of running Guard which is amazing with Rey in the early state of the game.

Also another case against the Second Chance is that I usually find out that recursion of it costs too much to be able to play it AND deal enough damage to kill the opponent at the same time (as dmg usually costs resources in this deck).

Given that I either didn't draw it when I really needed it, or had it and didn't need it; I can't argue with ya. It might see total removal from the deck. Still got loads of testing to perfect this deck. :)

It was my favorite and most played deck since the Awakenings so I am looking forward to see it tuned for the current meta and being competitive again. :)
