A month or two ago, I was deep in testing for Worlds with the Tulsa meta. One night, my opponent rolled Yoda in and, seeing a special, chained their special sides into two resources. This let them play two 2-cost upgrades on their first turn! I immediately thought of how great Yoda could be with Ahsoka, and her ability to ready herself for a resource cost. Unfortunately, I did not have time to explore this pair at the time. Now that Worlds is over, I am extremely excited to play this deck!

The basic idea is simple. Get resources with Yoda early, play upgrades on Ahsoka, and then actually have the resources to pay for Ahsoka’s ability in the mid to late game. In general, you will activate Yoda first. If you only have one upgrade in your opening hand, I recommend activating Ahsoka and paying to ready her via her ability immediately after you activate Yoda. If you end up having to re-roll to get to a special on a Yoda die, also having Ahsoka’s dice in play to re-roll will increase your consistency. It will also give your opponent a distraction and other dice to control besides Yoda’s.

If you have two upgrades on Ahsoka going into the second turn, you are looking for more resources with Yoda. Assuming you can get two more resources, you can now activate Ahsoka with four dice and then pay the four resource cost to ready her via her ability. This results in a massive second turn for the deck.

As the game goes on, my favorite setup is double Shoto Lightsaber on Ahsoka. Since she can activate twice most turns, you will end up gaining (or removing from your opponent’s characters) four shields a turn. When you combine these shields with Yoda’s ability to generate shields and your control cards, a lot of decks struggle to defeat your characters.

As a final bit of advice, do not be afraid to resolve Ahsoka’s upgrade or character dice for resources early. If you can roll damage to remove a character you may want to re-roll for that, but often times getting money to use her ability on future turns and ensuring your dice are resolvable for your second activation each turn is strong enough.

I have been live streaming my games on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm (central) via the Team Covenant Facebook page. I played this deck for a few hours on a recent stream and you can watch my games here: https://teamcovenant.com/star-wars-destiny/star-wars-destiny-deck-list-elite-ahsoka-elite-yoda

@Zach: Good write up! I am experimenting with Ashoka/Yoda as well. One aspect I want to mention: As Ashokas ability is one resource per die fix, the value you get out of re-rolling that die into the pool increase the better the die is. However, Double shotos are very good!

@MonksGamingBattlefield glad to hear that! It’s a consistent and fun deck. I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit!

How well does Yoda fare on his own if they kill Ahsoka first? Is it worth putting in something like handcrafted light bow just for this?

@Soapy he does pretty well, as long as it is not a super quick death for Ahsoka. I am actively playing the deck to not lose a character for as long as I can, but Yoda can finish just as strong as Ahsoka. His consistency and ability to get shields can be tough for opponents to overcome.

Yay, Ahsoka air time!

I´ve tested the pair too, but ultimately went for an alternative angle. Rather than put any dice generating upgrades on Ahsoka I only put Fearless on her and added Luke's Protection. This allows untapping Ahsoka every turn while netting 2 extra & (3 even with Trust Your Instincts).

The main issue with that version is it's s-l-o-w as molasses. Your is much faster. In any case is Ahsokas ability a good way to mess up opponents math as it´s hard to know how every thurn will play out. She's top fun :)

@ScacthaI'm a big fan. I definitely tried the other angle before Yoda, so it may be worth seeing again. I agree though that it would be super slow. I am always aware of decks that pack Hyperspace Jump + Retreat, as they can demolish slower decks.
