Finals eLeia/eYoda - WIN

My matches against Luke Skywalker - Reluctant Instructor/Rey - Finding The Ways were not very close. My removal was all very impactful. Beguile was huge in these match ups and just a great card for mill decks. I generated a lot of shields and the Fall Back play drops their damage output greatly.

The 5 die Villain deck was a close match. Bala reactivation can be scary, but I managed to eek it out. Blaze of Glory was a key card all day allowing me to activate General Rieekan - Defensive Mastermind and Guardian a bunch of damage die.

The Snoke - Supreme Leader was the coolest deck I played lots of neat tricks, but I was able to mitigate the two other character die reliably. He did get a great 5 damage swing and a 3 focus with Snokes Power Action. Again Fall Back was a major play in this game.

Mill vs Mill can be rough because generally I am building my deck to beat damage decks. In both games I got to start with Shields which meant I was always Milling two off the top and didn't have to play any of my shield cards. I was able to remove 2 sides often enough to slow down Leia's Power Action. I got C-3POand Chance Cube in both games which allowed me to match the out of hand discard as my opponents. In the semi-finals I milled both Force Meditation and in the finals my opponent got them both down and I played Fall Back to make them discard one of them. The finals game ended with us both Milled out but I had both Chance Cubes down and was able to pull them back to hand.
