Playing around Hondo seems like it's an easy counter, but it is not so simple when there are decks heavily based on churning out upgrades! Throw in some easily usable disrupt sides and Hondo starts to look less and less avoidable!! |
That and with Impusilve the 2 disrupt into special chain sometimes makes playing around him a non option anyway. I got a lot of reps in with this deck before my regional win with it and i still think its got a solid place in the metagame. The strongest advantage i feel it has other than flexiablity is that it puts serious mental load on the opponent making them have to decide over and over whether they can afford to pay you off. |
Love this pair. I like the inclusion of Maz’s Goggles and Riposte (although I like 2x Hidden Motive over Mislead and an overconfidence. Less spot blue that way as well) |
Yeah, ran into a couple of "spot a blue" issues yesterday...might also look into verpine over obi-wan's saber |
I hadn’t even CONSIDERED Verpine Sniper Rifle, and I think you’re right about swapping Obis Saber. Damage upside is only one less but it’s a 2 drop with no color restriction. I will be trying that out. I always feel like the games I get the Saber out and shield ramp I probably was going to win those anyway. I’m also using Double Dealing as a 2x. I only really need to get one out but that one is usually a huge game changer |
I would be less inclined to swap obi saber tho the extra one damage was easily mutlipled when used with cunning looking at 4 v6 or 6v9 damage and the extra 1 shield off the chain when your just down to yoda means a lot. Plus the 2sheild sides are quite often worth while especially if when you catch someone out with riposte. It would be a meta call tho as the cheaper value etc could be more attractive if you have alot of disrupt decks or mirrors etc |
I hear that. I can’t rememeber anyone going after Hondo first though in my experience But the cunning ramp is real. I just as often cunning my lightbow and/or force wave. I will definitely test both. Trying to decide if I can drop Double Dealing to fit riposte/Maz Goggles in |
imo wave is a must to be relevant vs 3 char decks and bow is a must to be relevant vs shields. The play room is really only obi saber and lone op etc. Google definately has a place for ripping early drawn ntmto and jumps etc, in my regionals we werent expecting much sabine and so i omitted it. Riposte is super valuable for adding to the clock against mill and just finishing characters in general wouldnt run without 1. Depending on my opponent i would sometimes bait people into going hondo by starting 3 shields on yoda. Slap a cunning down and they hate him. And some decks will think they can get him first and hope you dont hit 2nd chance. |
|
great job! personally I like thermal D over force wave because its lets you go to the two discard or the special and only requires a spot yellow to play and I hate having to hit myself in a close game. it also lets you threaten a mill win fairly easily. no redeploys is dangerous too. ive been trying to fit in a canto bight pistol for yoda because the conventional wisdom seems to be kill yoda and pay off Hondo in the mid to late game. |
|
I think so: every time i have one Double-Dealing in first hand the game is win: you have too many resource to play all the upgrade or the removal!!! |
|
I know that this is not starved for resource but having a lot can let you use specialYoda for shield.... WHat do you think about Hasty Exit? Removal for free |
|
Hidden Motive is already in :-) I think to give away Hasty Exit Sometimes (i have to do the definitive choice) I prefer switch Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber with Canto Bight Pistol: no restriction - special 2/3 damage - redeploy (very useful). Waht do you think? |
|
Any advice on match vs Sabine? I wasnt running Vandalize on my version and find chance cube or high generation resc decks are a prob. |
Also, can u give some review on your regional matches, what were you expecting, what pro/cons did u consider and find? Much appreciated! |
The high resource gen decks tend to be the ones you mill. you trade removal with them and they keep paying you to keep your uprgrades on etc |
|
I go over my matchups in my article...I agree with |

Nice to see Yoda/Hondo taking wins from Australia to Connecticut (wherever that is). |
@Pearl Yeti - Thanks, it's right next door to Australia haha! |
Cards I greatly miss from previously playing Warsaw's version are double dealing and Fast Hands. Both smooth any game and shine on mirror. What do u think about it? What spots would you free if adding any of them? Also Hidden motive is free to play but does not ensure die removal. I think in a deck with gd resc generation its better to ensure removal. |
The point of hidden motive is that its free to play. It makes it a great mulligan target because in those first couple of rounds you dont have that money if you want to play a Lightbow or Cunning. This gives you the option of representing removal early game even when you don't have any money left which is invaluable. |

Nice to see hondo yoda still getting there, so many people still telling me that you can play around hondo but consistant top cut finishes say otherwise.
