  • Episode 014 - Compartmentalizing The Components Of A Crushing (Ch)riumph!
    THAT'S RIGHT I MISSPELLED A WORD TO SUSTAIN THE ALLITERATION! WHATCHAGONNADOABOUTIT?!
    In this episode, Scott and Kenny break down the two (maybe three if you're a weirdo who runs Rebel stun or spies) components of successful listbuilding. They focus on (1) dealing and taking damage, (2) control through card manipulation and conditions (for the weirdos who run Rebel stun and spies), and (3) objective control and denial.
    Specifically, Scott discusses how you need to think about how your list is going to deal damage to the opposing player and put pressure on your opponent by removing their figures and keeping yours alive. Kenny then discusses how spies and conditions can be used to throw your opponent off balance so you can go for the win! Scott concludes with a discussion as to how to use your figures so that you can at least break even on the objective game.

  • Episode 013 - Craig Drops Some Hot PHX Heat On Zion
    In this episode, Craig from Phoenix tells us how he did at the recent Utah Regionals. Craig discusses his list, its strengths and weaknesses, his matchups, and where he thinks the meta will go and how he plans to adapt (in short: run more Vader and eJets).
    Craig braved the winter storms, his sunshine was much appreciated, and his perceptive take on his round-by-rounds is really helpful for knowing how to play similar lists (AT-DP and Troopers) in the current meta. CRAIG IS AMAZING.
    Please give us reviews on iTunes! We love all the feedback!
    Join us on the Slack Channel so you can tell Craig how awesome he is and how you wish it was as warm where you are as it is in Phoenix (it's currently 70° in Phoenix. At 11 PM. In January. Think about that.). Send an email to [email protected].

  • Episode 012 - WE DIDN'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE!

  • Episode 011 - The Vader Invasion! WHO CAN STOP HIM?!
    Vader is invading Zion, as only the domineering Lord of the Sith can! In this episode, Scott and Kenny discuss Vader's anticipated arrival at the Utah Regional Tournament on January 20th. Scott talks about his matchups, what he expects to see from the opposition, and how he expects to crush and defeat his enemies. 
    We focus on Vader vs. (Archetype), including mirror matches, IG-88 (and Scum Hunters), Rebel damage dealers (Han, Chewie, and Luke), and those insane off-the-wall lists like Kenny's beloved BOX.
    Are you worried about crushing Vader in upcoming tournaments? Do you think there is no hope for the meta? Well, Scott thinks that Vader is the greatest, which is why he's running Vader! But maybe you can find a chink his armor! MAYBE!
