I missed the fact that starting with a 9 card deck does have a few advantages too. If you start with Seek Allies, going to Desert Tactics will slim your deck down even more and will guarantee you draw into the cards you buy more often. Still depends on the opening row but worth a mention.
@@BlackShadow993yeah it just really depends on your buys though. If you can’t guarantee yourself decent buys then you’re just cycling through all of your dunes and daggers haha
Thanks for the series. My experience with Staban is absolutely positive. I had about 8 plays with him and was usually crushing the game. Once you acquire one or two spy or faction cards, you are good (it's probably harder if you play with D:I cards, so consider that). I love the spice selling on the ring because it provides workaround if you are unlucky to make it to Spice Refinery. Once I was able to buy swordmaster on the start of the second round. Also I think Staban is actually good combat leader. Thanks to his ring I was often spying both on Heighliner and Hagga Basin. Most importantly I'm having fun with him.
When you play his signet ring you get a spy, which is what “when placed on…” is referring to. At least I think that’s what it means; I haven’t played Uprising yet.
Wicked!

Can't recall if the part I talked about that got in the video or was cut but yes, the smaller deck means you'll see your buys a little more often...

He is really nice to play but as you said, he is row dependent for sure, he’s a fun challenge for sure, enjoyed all your videos about the leaders!
Glad you enjoyed!

He can be a decent fighter as well though it's not guaranteed. But glad you enjoyed it!
Great little series. 👍🏻
Appreciate it, might well do more for this down the line...
Thanks for all the tips!!
Are you playing on the mod called "Dune Imperium + Rise of IX + Immortality (scripted++)" on TTS?
Yes. The one with Shaddam as the image.
How do you use the ring to send an agent to a faction spot?

Yeah@@chesschad81 I might have misspoke but that's what I meant, getting your spy to the faction spots and then getting there later with access cards.
Last leader yet :) Hopefully there will be more leaders in future.
I'm fairly sure the first add-on stuff for this would be leaders
