Great list! I think Lom Pyke is super underrated. There are not many 4 drops in the game with stats like that AND having a reasonable smuggle cost makes him super versatile.
I like Snoke in second place there, I definitely loved playing him so far, it feels really good to slap him down against aggressive or other midrangy decks (I play it in my trusted ECL Krennic). It comes a turn earlier than Avenger as a way to shut the door on a lot of decks, and sometimes ends up meaning a bigger lifegain of sorts compared to the 3 that a Walker would give you for the same cost, based on how many stats it removes on a crowded enemy board.
I include Maul instead of Vader in my green villain decks, because I don't own Vader and he costs way too much for me XD He is a nice replacement for those sorts of decks, if people don't have the money to throw at Vader
Thanks for your list and the thoughts. I agree with most of your thoughts, but disagreed on a few points. I do agree Lom Pyke is an economical card with a balanced ability that isn't that balanced, but I actually don't like it in the standard Qi'ra Green Deck. I think giving the shield to the opponent mutes her effect. I also think if Qi'ra becomes the top villain control leader, there is an argument for cutting a Vader for a Maul so you can still play a First Light or two. I also think I would switch Wrecker and Poe personally. But, again, great video. I always appreciate them.
You mentioned with Poe you could discard 2 cards to destroy a shield and then deal 2 damage to the same unit. Just curious if this actually works. Do you have to do the abilities in the order listed on Poe, or can you choose the order they happen if you discard multiple cards?
Maul is 100% better than Vader... the only people who say otherwise obviously don't want the value of their Vaders to go down. LOL He's way better with the other underworld mechanics as well, though Vader is better in a pure Imperial deck... but you can still play Maul in that!
And lastly, a thing about Poe, of course it's great as expected, but I really think you should either be in green for ECL (or running the card that grants ambush), or in yellow for Sneak Attack. He feels a lot less impressive if it has to sit a turn on the board.
@@MADforSWU Well I think Tech helps much more in attrition based games, and Cassian just has a really high floor as a generically good beater with some end game surprise damage potential. It's hard for me to compare them because I think they fill very different roles (even though they both have smuggle).
Bo-Katan unit will see a lot of play.. mostly in non-mono red. Cobb Vanth can grab it and play it for free. Speaking of which, why didn't Cobb at least make the honorable mention list? Insanity!
Making a definite list before the meta has even started is weird. And of course it’s about the meta. It’s always about the meta. No card is good outside of a meta.
@@iamwoooooyeah. I like that. That is fun. But you started with “this will likely be the whole truth for the duration of the set. I have no hesitation saying that.” And then a little later you said it isn’t meta dependent. Maybe a little too categorical. 😂
Used bazine and ma klounkee to pick off two lukes out of a guys hand. I adore that combo
Great video. Gotta make the cards larger on screen, hard to see on mobile
Thanks for the feedback!
Poe is nuts and essential for an aggro deck, he's undercosted by at least 2 and has so many abilities it's crazy. No wonder he's so expensive already.
Great list! I think Lom Pyke is super underrated. There are not many 4 drops in the game with stats like that AND having a reasonable smuggle cost makes him super versatile.
Totally agree!
In terms of inexpensive cards I'm loving the 2/2 villagers shielded sentinel. Getting so much value out of it
They can be super annoying to deal with sometimes!
The cheap sentinal and shielded units in this set have been central to my Gar deck. So good.
Great video so far, needs to be longer
Enticing Reward should be #1. I'm in shambles that Lom Pyke made it in over it.
Lom Pyke is 100% a top 10 card.
Why is that? In which deck?
Why? That’s not even a top 3 bounty card for me.

@@robarlow3462 Definitely!
After all this time - I finally know where Wrekcer is in his card image .. he’s in that hutt that fennec took them too in exchange for information
Great stuff Wooooo!

You can choose the order!
My hot take is that maul is better than vader in most situations unless you’re playing an imperial deck (I just don’t want to buy vaders)
Hah, that's fair!

@madquest8 they are on equal terms, why does one have to be better than the other. They both provide different things and are amazing cards
Your making me wanna try bossk
I think he's quite good!
And lastly, a thing about Poe, of course it's great as expected, but I really think you should either be in green for ECL (or running the card that grants ambush), or in yellow for Sneak Attack. He feels a lot less impressive if it has to sit a turn on the board.
Yep, I did mention that the best bet is with ambush or cheating him out.
It seems weird to have Toro here but not Cassian, who has the same statline, an IMO often better ability, and Smuggle...
I like Cassian a lot but Toro can do some really unfair things in some builds. The gap isn't huge though, and Cassian is fantastic!
@iamwooooo how do u feel about cassian vs tech in heroism? I find myself switching him out for tech for the sheer versatility
@@MADforSWU Well I think Tech helps much more in attrition based games, and Cassian just has a really high floor as a generically good beater with some end game surprise damage potential.

Dragon shoud have been double red (totally not biased double red enjoyer)
So is there a way to consistently getting 3 krayts in Ressource pile and cheat Thema out with endless legion
Consistently? I don't believe so!
You obviously play a lot of villain over hero, but decent list otherwise. Tech needed to be in the top 10.
I like Tech but haven't found him to be incredibly important in a lot of match ups yet.
@@iamwooooo I think yesterday alone I won 4 games from Tech. Smuggle surprise strike, sentinels, and ambush units have been incredible.
Sorry but 110% is not accurate enough.
Next one will be 120
Poe is stupid good but I don’t think he is $50 good.
Bo-Katan unit will see a lot of play.. mostly in non-mono red. Cobb Vanth can grab it and play it for free. Speaking of which, why didn't Cobb at least make the honorable mention list? Insanity!
Cobb has underperformed for me so far! Still a good card.
Making a definite list before the meta has even started is weird. And of course it’s about the meta. It’s always about the meta. No card is good outside of a meta.
It's all for fun! Trying to get some early predictions.

@PontusWelin Ah, that was made in jest.
@@iamwooooo ah ok. That wasn’t very clear 😆
Great video - I think it was pretty clear it was a joke :)
