Top 5 RISKIEST Cards in Star Wars Unlimited TCG! (Spark of Rebellion Set)

Some cards are reliable, and other cards require a good pinch of luck in order to get results! This video discusses some of the RISKIEST cards in Star Wars Unlimited TCG's first set, Spark of Rebellion, including the cards themselves, what makes them risky, and ways you can potentially work around their risky nature to get a more reliable effect!

I once put a Bendu on turn 3 (who followed up with discounting electrostaves and units in subsequent turns) with You're my only hope, my deck was double blue force user with r2 and C3PO in it. It worked ok

[@nickh-i9846]

Yeah, traitorous can win games, sometimes for you sometimes for you opponent. Didn't think about it as a risky card until now. Nice video!

[@C0R3O]

Love your knowledge about the game. Would like to see more deck analysis overall (competitive, jank, competitive-jank)

[@TowerNumberNine]

Noted! Anything in particular you’d like me to analyze?

[@owlxoggest6247]

Chopper is kind of good vs Blue Vader since that deck has a pretty high event count

[@TowerNumberNine]

Good point -- he can definitely be more (or less) reliable against different compositions!

The best way to use your my only hope that I have found is as a deck thinning mechanic. I was testing it in double blue hero and the idea was as long as you had a unit on board and were at 4 resources this card could hit anything in your deck for 3 while thinning your deck helping you find your double blue cards like vigilance and protector. If you hit a protector it wasn't so bad even though it is a 1 cost because in most decks it would be a 3 cost anyway and it still thinned your deck for those key double blue cards. At 4 you could even hit an obi or a juggernaut. I think if YMOH is going to see play this is going to be the way it finds it through deck thinning and discount rather than just going for the discount.

I really like building around “you’re my only hope” with Han Green. Only 5 and 4 cost cards with the exception of resupply and YMOH… then the big risk is just do I at least get either 1 resupply or YMOH with the mulligan

I had a game recently where I played against sabine and my base had 4 health... he played For a Cause and got 3/4 and I ended up winning

[@TowerNumberNine]

That's how it goes sometimes! Even with a deck optimized for For a Cause, unless you play 100% heroisn (which is a major deckbuilding constraint), there's always a risk you won't hit for full damage... I myself had it hit for only 1 damage in a game today but was thankfully able to come back and win!

[@VeIajuel]

@@TowerNumberNine Very nice! I often do not like matching against Sabine since it negates the opportunity to strategize for endgame, but this was one of the best games I had.

Bounties are upgrades
Aggression should rise in use as it gets rid of two upgrades
I think traitorous will lose effectiveness when Shadows hits
