Store Championship (Troy, NY) 1st Place Finish 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

By request, sharing the deck I used to win my local Store Championship in Troy, NY. I went 4-0 to take first place as the only undefeated player.

Opponents' decks I faced:

Round 1:

Elite FN-2199 - Loyal Trooper

Elite IG-88 - Assassin Droid

For this match-up I kept IG-88's dice off the table in the freezing chamber for the entire match, and then raced to kill FN-2199 - Loyal Trooper before he could abuse too many weapon free-rolls. This deck spends all of its resources on weapons every round so we get to make good use of the Carbon-freezing Chamber - Bespin.

Result: WIN Standings: 1-0

Round 2:

Elite Darth Vader - Sith Lord

Royal Guard

Typical Vader deck, but mono-blue so missing some of the good yellow dice removal which would have hindered my turns. I was able to amass some big ranged damage hits to knock out vader quickly. I was able to keep 1 Vader dice in the Carbon-freezing Chamber - Bespin for this entire game as the vader player needed to use his resources to get upgrades out (didn't see a Sith Holocron until vader was already dead)

Result: WIN Standings: 2-0

Round 3:

Elite Unkar Plutt - Junk Dealer

Death Trooper

First Order Stormtrooper

Opponent played an Imperial Inspection on turn 1, so I focused a quick kill on Unkar to avoid getting all of my upgrades bounced. I locked out the death trooper die with Carbon-freezing Chamber - Bespin and actually got to make good use of baze's special a couple of times against this triple character line-up.

Result: WIN Standings: 3-0

Round 4:

Elite Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice

Elite FN-2199 - Loyal Trooper

This was the closest match of the day. FN did his thing and cycled through several weapons. This opponent's deck was faster than mine, so he was able to utilize the freezing chamber against me once Snap was dead. Vader and Snap both died very quickly, leaving Baze and FN to have a shootout. Basically this came down to me waiting for my opponent to hit ranged damage on his FN rolls so I could blow him out with Hit and Run + It's a Trap!. The 2xField Medic were huge in this matchup and kept Baze up and running.

Result: WIN Standings: 4-0

Closing thoughts: The deck felt pretty strong. I never had a good opportunity to use Sensor Placement and spending resources on Promotion often felt weak compared to my other choices. The times I did play Promotion the die was also not very impactful, but a couple of time the card draw was really good. I plan to make some tweaks to the deck this week before the next local tournament this weekend.
