Happy New Year everyone! In this episode, Robert Stanley provides us with a battle report concerning the regionals recently held in Houston, Texas. Robert discusses his matches and gives thoughts on IG-88, Ugnaughts, Vader, and so much more!

Following his battle report, Robert schools Kenny in the intricacies of the developing meta and causes Kenny to rethink all his previous notions concerning the relevance of IG, eQuays, and Jabba. The rethinking causes a minor existential crisis, but Kenny comes around to Robert's thinking and the ensuing paradigm shift is relatively minor. Thomas Kuhn, eat your heart out!

This episode is designed to give newer players a crash course in building a competitive command deck. JK and Kenny give a quick overview of the basics for building a solid command deck and discuss command deck staples--cards that are not faction or archetype specific--and then move on to talk about building a command deck for certain archetypes--scum hunters, jedi, etc.--and finally conclude with command cards that correspond with unique figures.

Each segment involves classifying cards into one of three tiers, Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3. The classifications are not concrete or precise, but are intended to help players get a general understanding as to how good certain cards are. Certain players will value certain cards higher.
