Hello Vader… My Old Friend

September 16, 2019September 11, 2019Matt Childress

After a lot of trading, I was finally able to get a solid Vader – TTB (AG1) deck built. I wasn’t all that successful with it so it went on the back burner.

With the release of Spark of Hope and the Niman forms, as well as the associated events Draw Closer (SH116) and Pushing Slash (SH118), I decided to revamp my deck a bit.

Han Bots

August 9, 2019August 8, 2019Matt Childress

So, from Spark of Hope I pulled a lot of excellent Legendary cards, including Old Man Han (SH96), R2-D2 (SH56), and C-3PO (SH77). Now I have a family and life outside of playing Destiny, so I’m not full-time geek, and only play at my FLGS every other week. I don’t have all of the cards from all of the sets except Across the Galaxy and Way of the Force. My problem with the deck I based mine on is the use of a lot of legendary cards. But I made do with what I have. I substituted Han Solo’s Blaster (SH108) with DX-2 (SH153) because I have it and it does unblockable damage. I don’t have Chewbacca’s Blaster Rifle (CV102) so instead I used Ordnance Launcher (CV158).

With the release of Spark of Hope in the last few weeks, many of us have done at least one session of draft. I’ve seen a few random questions on the local Facebook page and a few other places, so I thought I’d do a quick write-up on draft.

Lessons From a Noob

July 1, 2019July 17, 2019Matt Childress

I’ve been thinking back on those days of yore when I was a noob. Well, I still am. I don’t often get a chance to play as I have many demands on my time. But when I can play, several lessons that I’ve learned spring to mind.

Today being Father’s Day and thinking about the base of the deck I will be playing, let’s talk about my favorite father figure, Darth Vader – Terror to Behold (AG1).
