Thanks for your video and write up! I used this list minus one boba for a cell block guard (because we only had 2 bobas), and went 4-0 today to take first at our local Showdown! We thought it has the best match ups at the moment with what we expected to see. Match 1 green vader 2-0 match 2 green vader 2-1 match 3 green Sabine 2-0 Match 4 red Leia 2-1
Won a store showdown in germany yesterday. Went 4:1 in swiss and won 2 games in the top 4 cut. 4 matches against sabines. They were always outrunning me till turn 4. This was when I got total control and cleared there board. Always had like 5-7 units on board after my boba flip turn.
Thanks, Mike. I like the deck a lot but haven't quite cracked it yet, still feel a bit coin flippy on match ups I'm certain better players would win % wise. I'll keep grinding it!

Any changes to deck since this vid? Which MU does change of heart come in? Against control sometimes it feels like they don't matter, sometimes it wins. Midrange (like chirrut/han) it can feel good as a finisher
Hey Bobby, thanks for the vid. Do you think this deck can remain viable/relevant competitively without any cunning? If so, what would you trade them for?
Unfortunately I don't think it's very competitive without the cunning. If no cunnings I would simply pick another color and add in all the strong cards of that color (like overwhelming barrage, Vader, and ramp)
Good vid my man Can you make a quick comment about best/worst matchups? Also when do you stop resourcing cards - I imagine you go higher than 6? It's an aggro deck but seems more tempo based than Sabine?
took first place at a showdown last weekend with a version of this list went undefeated accross all games. round 1. 2-0 han green round 2 2-0 Krenic red Roind 4 2-0 Luke green Round 5 2-0 Chirruit tarkintown Final cut 2-0 sabine yellow been playing bobba yellow for a few months and he is a blast to play. I really appreciated some of the sequencing tips here. do you feel there is a place in this deck for pirated starfighter and using it to return bodi, cantina bouncer, and entrenched units?
@@SWU_KTOD yeah I’m trying to adjust my green Vader a little bit to adjust to local meta. I probably shouldn’t mess with anything but of course I like to get myself into trouble changing things up haha. I’m not entirely sold on Col Yularen, I kind of prefer others but we shall see. I do like the Force package version with Force Throw. I’ve never done a patreon but now I’m thinking of starting with you guys!
Had you given any thought to snapshot reflexes? In theory it let's you take a free trade like shoot first, and keep the +1 attack for base pressure for the rest of the game
Where would you position the newly announced "A New Adventure" card from the second set in this deck? (2 cost - Double Cunning - Event: Return a non-leader unit that costs 6 or less to its owner's hand. Then, its over may play it for free.)
Hrm I don't know what you mean by position but I would definitely want to include it here, at least to try. We have a lot of amazing cunning cards to put in this deck for set 2 also, like Dr. Evazan & Maclunkey
@@SWU_KTOD Yeah, you're right. I guess I was just asking if you thought that card would have a home in the deck (with the caveat that we obviously don't know all set 2 cards yet). But I think it likely does. Peace, and thanks for the video.
Cool video, I made the same read and took boba yellow to my store championship a few weeks ago and won. I’m now trying to decide what the best read into a boba yellow meta is (now that you’ve popularised it 😜) and I think it it’s probably Krennic/Iden green, would you agree?
I've found luke to be a hard matchup with this, especially with a more sentinel/ defensive matchup. But most others matchups it cleans up really well. How have you faired with the luke matchup? Or just heal midrange in general?
Against Luke it really is about the bounces. If they are tapped out you are free to go with waylay or cunning. They just keep spending all ressources for chunky cards like kanan jarrus bright hope and obi wans
Yes I have, but all of my updates and videos about the deck are currently exclusive to our Patreon subscribers. I'll be posting them publicly before gencon
I think you can try it, but I called this out in my latest meta review video that I think it's actually a bad couple weeks for this deck because iden and krennic are back and they had previously been gone

I ended up with Ties over Probe droids but mono Boba has been my favorite deck for board spam and this is an excellent rundown on it.
Thanks!

I think you'll really level up your game if you take time with this deck and try and find the aggro lines. Good luck!
Thank you for all the info!
My pleasure!
Now add 3X A New Adventure and watch everyone cry. Heh
and 3X Boba Fett's armor
Yup 😅
and even "Ma Klounkee"
Can't wait!

That's awesome! Glad it helped you out
Great video Mike
Thanks!
Great vid - trying out some boba cunning this weekend. What would you cut vs Luke blue ?
Maybe just a swoop or two for jabba
Any changes to deck since this vid? Which MU does change of heart come in? Against control sometimes it feels like they don't matter, sometimes it wins. Midrange (like chirrut/han) it can feel good as a finisher
There goes the neighborhood

Can you make a quick comment about best/worst matchups?
Also when do you stop resourcing cards - I imagine you go higher than 6? It's an aggro deck but seems more tempo based than Sabine?
I don't often go higher than 6. Depends on my hand. I just try and maximize whatever I draw. I don't even go to 6 some games.
Can you speak more about Jabba in the sideboard? When do you sideboard him and for what?
I was looking forward for this deck tech.
I have a question: would you consider viable Spark of Rebellion as sideboard against control/mirror?
I tried it and didn't like it but I think if you want it it's a reasonable card to sideboard
took first place at a showdown last weekend with a version of this list went undefeated accross all games.
round 1. 2-0 han green
round 2 2-0 Krenic red
Roind 4 2-0 Luke green
Round 5 2-0 Chirruit tarkintown
Final cut 2-0 sabine yellow

I tried it and didn't love it. wasn't consistent enough for me, but it's strong when it hits.
I was building Green Vader for a showdown Saturday now I’m thinking I run this instead….
I think it's a very good weekend for green Vader but I can't fault you for playing this if you'd rather be on a more aggro plan

I tested it a ton. Was really high on it but ended up on shoot first bc of the jabba package and bossk
Appreciate all the videos! is their a discord that I could join? my local shop doesn't have a large play group.
Our discord is for patreon subscribers only but 700 people currently find it worthwhile

@@SWU_KTOD Ah, I mean, if on an island without other set 2 cards, which ones might that one replace in this deck?
It doesn't really make any sense to consider that imo. There's no world in which we would only play with one of the set 2 cards.
@@SWU_KTOD Yeah, you're right. I guess I was just asking if you thought that card would have a home in the deck (with the caveat that we obviously don't know all set 2 cards yet). But I think it likely does. Peace, and thanks for the video.

I've found luke to be a hard matchup with this, especially with a more sentinel/ defensive matchup. But most others matchups it cleans up really well. How have you faired with the luke matchup? Or just heal midrange in general?
I think boba is really strong against Luke in all forms. They play some chunk and we bounce it. This deck has 9 bounce cards.
Against Luke it really is about the bounces. If they are tapped out you are free to go with waylay or cunning. They just keep spending all ressources for chunky cards like kanan jarrus bright hope and obi wans
will you update this for set 2?
Yes I have, but all of my updates and videos about the deck are currently exclusive to our Patreon subscribers. I'll be posting them publicly before gencon
How do you balance going for base early with needing to trade into/remove units to restand resources with Boba?
I am happy to curve out and go face and only reset when I have a good hand for it.
@@SWU_KTOD are you taking trades against aggro early? Or only racing? Often I'll trade probe droid into Sabine if it let's me develop another unit
Hey. Ive been losing to Krenic/Iden decks with this. Only losses. Any suggestions? Would you consider spark of rebellion in the sideboard?
I think you can try it, but I called this out in my latest meta review video that I think it's actually a bad couple weeks for this deck because iden and krennic are back and they had previously been gone
@SWU_KTOD true. However if every one goes Aggro to combat the green villian then Boba would be fine against aggro and this completes the circle

Do you guys have any plans to add more regular Wokling and Kasyyyk Operative slots in Patreon or is it just the + versions available now?
We're not adding the cheaper tiers back sorry. The plan was always to increase the amounts
What is the matchup your enter jabaa
As I said in the video I bring jabba in in almost every matchup
@@SWU_KTOD you enter them instead of?
whats a side board for? when will you use one
You swap cards in and out between games of a best of 3
Would you make any changes if playing a beat of 1 event with no sideboard. ?
I might play the jabbas maindeck over the swoops
