Reviewing Hero Blue Spoilers From the FFG Live Stream – Yoda Arrives!

I’m Feeling (Hero) Blue!

What a fun live stream! I always enjoy tuning in when Jeremy and the FFG crew publicize Star Wars: Destiny. Watching new cards get spoiled is the most exciting part of the lead up to a new set. There’s a lot to dissect from this stream (Ewoks!), but in this brief spoiler article I’d like to specifically discuss what’s happening for Hero Blue in Spark of Hope. There are some things to be excited for!

Balance of the Force – Episode I

Balance of the Force (Will It Be Before or After Origins?)

It is my opinion that almost any deck is beatable, so I tend to be hesitant with Balance of the Force changes. That said, the game is at its best when the meta is open enough to allow diversity. With any potential Balance of the Force, FFG has to consider whether the meta is actually in need of a change. Is one deck dominating all challengers? Is the game hemorrhaging players because of the negative player experience (NPE) associated with a card? In our current meta, one deck is not dominating all events. It IS clear to me that one character is still a step above many others that see play. I’m not convinced the NPE factor of this meta is overly corrosive, and many games are quite fun. I do believe, though, that some cards are deserving of a second look by FFG.

Execute Order 66 – Spark of Hope Spoiler Discussion

All Jedi Are Traitors to the Galactic Republic (I’m Fairly Confident About This)

Order 66 (SH15) is going to be a plot that people will experiment with when building Spark of Hope decks. There’s a lot to love here. The first thing I noticed about Order 66 is how far plots have come since Legacies – remember Fortify (LG169)? Plots have improved significantly from their initial release. They are now able to influence deck construction in a similar way to characters, which is a credit to the design team.

The Growth of the Ranks

June 1, 2019June 5, 2019Mike Hill

The Chance Cube is excited to announce an expansion in our blog. We used to be quite active article writers, but as time went on and things morphed and changed, our content output changed with it.

However, we are getting back to basics and we’ve also identified a gap in the larger content market… the casual perspective. We have a lot of different creative ideas in the works and hope to bring something special to our output while considering this direction.
