Meta Snapshot Updates

This week we’re adding two decks back to our meta snapshot thanks to their success at Planetary Qualifier events this weekend. Both Han1/Green and Iden/Blue had been on the snapshot in the Set 1 meta and always seemed on the cusp of competitive play in Set 2. This week they broke through and took down PQs!

We’re also moving Boba Green back to the top of the midrange column- while this deck was never out of contention, it took a little time for players to figure out how to balance it’s new tools with the old ones. A formula has now emerged that combines a robust top end with a Ma Klounkee centered early game and a bolstered flip turn spike with Boba’s Armor. This shell took down multiple PQs this weekend, and is thusly back in its rightful position as the king of midrange.

Now, on to our tournament results!

  1. Why is Kylo still meta? He hasn’t been in any tops so far, is it just to not leave Sabine alone on aggro?

    1. kylo has won a few showdowns recently in the philly area along with top 8 placement (1st in swiss) at recent NJ 1k

      1. But that was a Kylo Red, not a Kylo yellow. Don’t know about the showdowns in philly tho. I don’t think Kylo Yellow can be considered meta nowadays (unfortunately)

      2. It was just two events with kylo yellow winning in the philly area, but you may be right about its viability long term
