Been running and working on f8teful Chopper for a few months now and ran a much sloppier and less focused list at Nova. Finished 5-3 at Nova. List has come a very long way since then. Was very excited to see the a similar list to what i'd been working on for so long win at worlds. Grats to Andrew R.! Afer seeing his games and his list, I made a few very minor adjustments taking out a republic cruiser and putting in an entangle.

The big MVP for me was Aerial Advantage. In a deck that almost always controls the BF, always has a red character and almost always has a mod on the board, A.A. is just nuts. Even if only two of the three triggers hit, you're still getting great value and it can be used offensively or defensively. This is the main reason i have 3 vehicles in the deck vs only 1 or 2 crait speeders. A-Wing could potentially be a podracer or rep cruiser depending on the meta. After all the reps today, I think the only change i would make is cutting entangle and putting in either beguile or most likely snuff out.

Slap Chop is one of the most oppressive decks in the game and played correctly doesn't really have any major weaknesses in terms of matchups.

The only difficulty it potentially has is against Han droids... that deck is a little more focused on aggro and has a lot of the same tricks as this deck but with a little more HP.

Faced my team mate Dan Cassell (multiple prime winner, Canadian Nat Champ and top 64 worlds) in the final and he was able to get ahead of me with rex's blaster in both games and I just couldn't catch up on tempo or dmg.

Been working on this list for 2-3months and am very pleased with its performance. Hope you enjoy the list and give it a shot!

How do you spot a Scoundrel to make use of mean streets?

Congratulations on your run Mat! It was blast to face you in top 8. I couldn't agree more with Aerial Advantage. That was some spicy tech!

@t6ted he doesn't need a scoundrel, that's just to reduce cost. He can still claim and play something like Flee the Scene or Aerial Advantage.

But you need to have scoundrel to play mean streets by put the resources on the battlefield to decrease the events costs. Without scoundrel, you can't play mean streets at all, no resources mean 0 cost events to play, not 1 cost events. Read the battlefield very closely.

@BaitSwitch86 The event you play is not limited to the number of resources on the battlefield. It just says decreasing by the number of resources on it. If you don't have a scoundrel, you just pay the full cost, that's it. There's no "then" between the first and second sentences.
