Alyssa went 1-1, I went 2-0. For pack prizing, Alyssa got two packs, I got six packs.
Deck - Cad Tarkintown
I first became aware of this deck about a week ago on 8/18 when I played against it.
I thought it was good, so I brought it out to a weekly that same week to test it out.
My Matchups
Vs Yoda Red Force 2-0
Side boarding:
In: 2x Lurking TIE Phantom
Out: 1x No Good to Me Dead, 1x IG-2000
I was a bit fearful going into this matchup as I heard that it’s not a good matchup. But it seemed that my opponent didn’t draw as well.
Vs LOF Kylo Green Force 2-0
Side boarding:
In: 2x Aggrieved Parliamentarian, 2x Lurking TIE Phantom, 3x Cham Syndulla
Out: 2x IG-2000, 1x No Good to Me Dead, 3x Ma Klounkee
I wasn’t too afraid of this matchup, as my deck goes very wide, so Power of the Dark Side is nearly useless against me. This deck can keep the opponent off their Force token for a good while.
Conclusion
Not much of a conclusion, it was a small store showdown event (though the players there were of high skill), so small sample size in terms of the number of matches for how good this deck actually is.
Stay tuned for my 2025/08/23 FAD LOF PQ judging and gameplay coverage :)
