Interestingly enough I'm here because at the card shop I just started going to last week, I got Cad Bane and General Grievous from 7 packs (I only paid $20 for the 7 do to an event). Someone said to me "No way you got 2 hot drops in 7 cards" and I had to look it up, compared to other games, the fact a "Hot" card is $25 out of the box is interesting in a good way! Given the event that means I could just sell my cards to buy another 7 cards if I'm generally liking the came, or sell both of my cards for a quick $50 which isn't really enough to do anything with. It almost seems like even though these cards are the most wanted, this game isn't meant to be a flipper game, you don't just buy 100 packs looking to find a $1000 card. So, Unlike Flesh & Blood or Lorcana, this is the first modern game I've seen a card game where valuable cards aren't flip worthy but instead to feel good and creating dopamine as a deck creator! Play Star Wars if you Ultimate if you want a newer card game that's inexpensive to create meta defining decks. You try and do that with Lorcana or Flesh & Blood you're out hundreds to thousands of $.
I like the fact that most of these legendaries seem to fit in the "niche and/or cool' role rather than being meta-defining or game ending cards. I never pulled any of the strongest legendary cards from set 1 or 2 ( 3 Dryden Vos though...) and always felt that without Krayt Dragons, Snokes etc that I was really up against it. Thankfully Tarkin and Cad were relatively budget friendly.
There is a wierd thing going on with boxes for TWI. I just opened 2 boxes , and they were particlly identical. To the point I miss many leaders and got 2 copies of legendaries (2 x cad, 2 x ashoka, 2 x planetary invasion, 2 x gor) . Seems like boxes are really "randomized" properly.
It's interesting that even if characters are popular the value can be hit or miss which we see on some cards like the Mandalorian Legendary Unit. Hyperspace foils of it were selling for $100 in the first two weeks after release, not even counting the pre-release gouging, and I picked one up a few weeks ago for around $30 which is where most of them are at now.
Thanks 5 drops with no immediate impact on the game that can be defeated by takedown and force choke and with a situational ability. I think she will see little competitive play if any.
I'd put ki adi mundi two places up, and Aayla behind, maul one up (maybe two), NTATOT one up. Might change with future sets but too hard to say what ffgs direction will be
Some decks will play death trooper some will play Grevious some decks will play both, those are different cards. It's completely possible that death trooper might see more play but it doesn't contradict what I am saying in this video. I simply could not think of any other card that would be more valuable. It's a legendary of an iconic character which will see competitive play and has a lot of casual appeal.
Grievous is seperatist, which gives him the option to be exploited turn 1. Add that 1 drop unit that gives an experience to something on defeat, you now have a 5 - 5 to swing with turn 2

It does make the game cheaper yes but I it also hurts sales. People will buy less boxes as a result.
Krayt dragon is sub 20$ and Snoke is 15$, playsets of each is basically a box price anyways....
Pulled a General Grievous unit and hyperspace Unlimited Power in my prerelease box. I’ll be riding this high until the next set release.
Pulled Grievous yesterday. I have my first SWU tourney tomorrow (pre release) and I hope I get another lol

Oof, I really hope there's not more mapping issues continuing in this set.
Same, I opened two boxes and got several duplicate Legendarys.
Thorrk, thank you for this. I agree with about 90% of these picks. Appreciate your insight and i hope you have a great day!
You too!

Not even most of em are like 14 bucks
Edit: didn’t know you meant hyper foil
Surprised no Aayla! Her ability is great IMO. Great list though
Thanks

Clone will very quickly become one of the top 3 most expensive cards imho.
Possible by highly unlikely. If clone ever becomes good is because there is some sort of weird combos that is very competitive with it.
I like Choose Sides over clone. Although you can find clone with u-wing which is fun.
What do you think about Clone? Do you think it will see competitive play? Great video!
No I don't think so unless it's needed for some sort of crazy interaction
Je me demande si le comte dooku jedi déchu (unité rare ) ne sera pas plus cher que plusieurs des legendaires sur cette liste?
Rey blue could make Satine work now lol I’m going to at least try
Im thinking Yoda blue
cards seem mid but i like the new leaders.
mark my words: Grievous is weaker version of death trooper and after few week he be much cheaper

@@mikejowan3340 the only problem is dooku be too weak to meta game, in testing almost no have good matchups and loss against most powerful decks.
