PoD - Pile O' Drek 1.0

• 1.0

Whew, what a dog. Basic idea was to Carbon Freeze opponent's character dice so they get less use out of them during the game. Let's just say the deck did not even get close to performing as intended. Basic problem was that a player would still get to use their dice during the round of capture and by the time the battlefield actually took the dice off the table, they didn't really need their character dice anyways. Weak, there's a battlefield that might have worked better - perhaps:

Frozen Wastes - Starkiller Base

I digress: 1 - L) Vader-Greedo - Lost to Fist even after snaking Vader die. Game wasn't that close.

2 - W) Hondo,Greedo,Nute deck - a shot at a Crime Lord deck! Kudos to my opponent for the attempt. Grabbed Hondo dice early as was always able to keep at least one die from rolling. Actually worked

3 - L) Han,Kira - Got clobbered by the Theed + bonus action of having a Neutral character. Realized that's an awfully big first off bump to overcome. Still, a tight game until a late game whiff on my opponent's 3 card hand with a Probe. Miss the HJump; he got out of the turn and then proceeded to clobber my last character. Sadly, this turned out to be the high water mark of the tourney.

4 - L) Rax/Ayala - killed by massive Red One reset into lethal. Sad as I did manage to snake two dice in this game, but it mattered not.

5 - L) Cassian/2 Partisans. Milled. Actually had a decent board state, but could not muscle up final damage

6 - L) Leia Lando. Theed and lost hand right off the bat. Did do a ton of damage out the gate, but he healed it all and then milled my deck.

7 - L) Aayala/Fisto - Rolled again and then blanked by God Roll from opponent which prompted FBomb from me. Yeah, not a good move against a 10 year old kid; he called me out on it, then kicked my butt. Thankfully, his Pops was at the tourney and knew me. Did apologize (of course) and later found humor in my bad outing for the day.

Would certainly not play this deck again. Never ever did play Delve and never had any recourse to. Did get a few good plays out of Prized Possession. Totally misplayed Senate Chamber thinking it was only my dice that could be switched. If ever I were try this again, would probably use Frozen Wastes - Starkiller Base instead and then put in some light vehicles to put on some pressure.

As my son noted - it might be a good alternate strategy as Version puts restraints on plays, stealing dice is annoying, and the Tobias Beckett - Thief For Hire & Tobias Beckett's Rifle are a compelling combo (never actually hit that one though). This could be more compelling with Battlefield claims that actually did immediate things; chaining War-Torn Streets - Jedha could be entertaining as well as maybe Outer Rim Outpost - Nal Hutta, Moisture Farm - Tatooine or Medical Center - Kaliida Shoals.
Maz's Castle - Takodana would help you blast through your deck. Main Plaza - Vashka could be fun. Jedi Temple - Coruscant & Imperial Palace - Coruscant card discard chaos
