[Le Cycle de Hoth] Paquet de Force 2 : À la Recherche de Skywalker - The Search for Skywalker

“Jabba’s put a price on your head, so large that every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you.”
–Greedo, Star Wars: A New Hope
Over the last couple of weeks, Star Wars™: The Card Game players have started to explore the new strategies made possible by The Desolation of Hoth, the game’s first Force Pack. With its Hoth-traited objectives, The Desolation of Hoth sets the stage for location-driven battles inspired by the early scenes of The Empire Strikes Back. While the battles for control of Hoth will continue to intensify throughout the course of The Hoth Cycle, they aren’t the only events to which the cycle’s new cards allude.

Soon, players will have the chance to further expand their Star Wars: The Card Game universes with a second Force Pack, The Search for Skywalker,
and with its arrival, they’ll find new options opening up for their
Smugglers and Spies, as well as their Scum and Villainy decks.

Jabba’s Orders

In the game’s Core Set, the Scum and Villainy affiliation received
just one objective set, but it stars the notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett (Core Set,
19). Nonetheless, Fett has provided enough incentive that many players
have already experimented with the objective set in their decks.

Still, because there’s only the one objective set, players have
recognized that there’s a good chance they won’t draw their Scum and
Villainy objective, The Bespin Exchange (Core Set,
135), during setup. Accordingly, the best way to ensure you have
resources available to pay for Boba Fett and your other Scum and
Villainy cards is to use the Scum and Villainy affiliation card. And if
you’re playing the Scum and Villainy affiliation card, why not look more
closely at the other Scum and Villainy objective sets to see if they’re
worth including in your deck?

In The Search for Skywalker, dark side players find a second
Scum and Villainy objective set, and those who are already using Boba
Fett in their decks will certainly want to give it a close look.


While the Imperial Navy’s Probe Droids close in upon the Rebels’
secret base on the ice planet of Hoth, the galaxy’s bounty hunters and
thugs pursue their objective, driven by Jabba’s Orders (The Search for Skywalker,
223). Thematically, the units of the Scum and Villainy affiliation pay
great attention to their targets, or prey. Their ranks include not only
bounty hunters, but assassins, scavengers, and spies, and this objective
reflects their efforts at keeping tabs on their targets by giving you
limited knowledge of your opponent’s hand. In a game where the bluffing
and posturing that takes place in its edge battles have such a profound
impact over the course of turns, even a limited knowledge of your
opponent’s hand can be a great thing. Still, the objective’s ability is
even more effective when the set’s synergies are exposed.

The objective’s most obvious combination is with the event, Get Me Solo! (The Search for Skywalker, 227), which reads, “Action: Name a unit, then reveal an opponent’s hand. Capture all copies of the named unit in that hand.”
Yes, you can play the event blind, and you may even succeed, especially
if you can calculate the odds that your opponent holds one of the units
that would match one of his objectives in play. But why play it blind
if you can look at your opponent’s hand and eliminate the guesswork?
Alternatively, you could play the event after your opponent rescues a
unit you had previously captured. If he’s taken the unit to his hand but
not yet had a chance to play it, then you’ll know it’s there.

Then, once you’ve captured a unit (or any other card), the Weequay Elite (The Search for Skywalker, 224) becomes a highly efficient Mercenary guard. With two icons and a
icon, none of which are edge-dependent, the Weequay Elite can shut
down most units that would attack your objective, and if you have even a
single card captured at any of your objectives, this elite defender
costs a mere two resources to bring into play.

If
for some reason you can’t capture a card, you can still build your
resources with two of the other cards in the objective set. The first is
Jabba’s Palace (The Search for Skywalker,
226), which not only provides one Scum and Villainy resource but grants
each of your objectives an additional point of damage capacity. One
extra point might not seem like much, but if the light side player ever
finds himself in a position where he needs to destroy two or more of
your objectives in a single turn, it’s not always easy to muster two
extra blast damage, especially if you have a Weequay Elite watching
attentively at the palace doors.

The second of the resource-providing cards in the objective set is the Jawa Trading Crawler (The Search for Skywalker, 225). Because its resources can only be used to pay for Vehicle or Droid
units, this unit may prompt players to explore the effectiveness of
hand-destruction decks that use objectives that capture light side
cards, events like Get Me Solo!, and Droids like the Interrogation Droid (Core Set, 79) to deplete their opponents’ hands and render them vulnerable in key edge battles.

Taken Captive

Altogether, the cards from the Jabba’s Orders objective set offer
plenty of support for capture decks and are worth strong consideration
in any deck built around Boba Fett.

The Search for Skywalker is coming soon! While you wait, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more updates and announcements.

Mon dieu, un objectif qui regarde la main, un event qui capture... outch...

Gros set d'objectif avec Jabba dis donc. Fais pas bon d'aller sur Tatooine, lors qu'on est sur un cycle Hoth

Jizz in my pants !

Mon deck va prendre un coup de fouet.
Il n'y a que le Jawa Crawler qui dénote un peu du reste mais woaaaaah
Le Weequay Elite fait mal aussi.
Dieu que ce jeu est bon !

Je trouve que le jeu prend la bonne voie surtout; et ça, c'est cool

les jawa crawler moi j'adore !
ça permet de mettre deux objectifs "cruel interrogation" et d'avoir confiance dans la capacité à pas payer trop cher les droïdes

j'avais zappé cette newset je ne sais pas si le Force Pack est sorti en Angleterre, mais amazon UK est "out of stock", comme j'étais en France pendant 15j j'ai du rater la mise en vente

ou alors c'est un bug et il n'est pas encore sorti ?

Il n'est pas encore sorti aux US, alors en Europe...

en Angleterre ça arrive assez vite (bien avant la VO en France en tout cas et peu de temps après les USA)

OK, je n'ai donc rien raté ! j'avais dit que je me mettrais à jouer un peu plus souvent après 2 force Pack, donc j'attends xD

C'est bô un Star Destroyer!

L'unboxing de The Search for Skywalker :

Donc en fait il n'y a seulement que 2 objectifs DS, le et .
Mais pour ce dernier il est vraiment mais vraiment balèze

C'est moi, ou il n'y a que 5 pods en tout dans ce pack ?

: et un neutre LS ?

C'est ça.

Et en relisant le début du topic, ça a déjà été dit ... comme quoi lire, c'est broken

mouarf le deck de gros thon destroyer !!

mwa ce que je trouve bien dans ce jeu made in FFG c'est qu'ils arrivent a faire du neuf tout en gardant le charme du SW JCC made in decipher ,

ils ont sur innové tout en conservant quelques trucs qui plaisaient aux fan du 1er sw ccg

edit : je viens de voir la video , enfin des cartes ressources pour l'empire , ca a l'air bien mechant vivement ce paquet

en ce moment j'ai plus de plaisir a ouvrir les paquets de sw que tdf

Tu trouves que Navy manquait déjà de ressources ?
C'est la faction la mieux garnie en terme de ressources : Tarkin, Duty Officer, plusieurs Control Room ( 2 ), Moti ( 2 ), Communications Officer ( 2 ).

Là franchement avec ce pack, on pose T1 le Devastator juste avec Admiral's Order ( qui est gratos !!! ) ou encore un Star Destroyer qui shield, intouchable par les events et 3 x en mode osef de l'edge

pas le navy en lui meme mais le coté dark , comparé au jedi par exemple je trouvais les sith desavantagé

surtout en ressources pas cher

Nan moi le seul truc qui soule un peu, c'est que la capture c'est pas non plus une mécanique de oufzor qui va avoir un gros impact sur l'adversaire et que de ce qui est connu en , la faction tournera vraisemblablement exclusivement là-dessus.
Et là il existe déjà beaucoup de cartes côté LS qui la foute en l'air notamment avec ce pod . Une unité quitte le jeu ? Je pioche, une carte déjà capturée ? Pas de souci je la sauve avec mon Renegade Squadron ou je joue Rescue.
Alors que de l'autre côté, ne tire pas vraiment avantage de capturer les unités. Un petit discount sur les Weequay, Bespin's Exchange et Bounty Collection et basta.
Vraiment léger pour en faire une mécanique qui rivalise avec ce qui existe côté LS.


Edit : J'oubliais de dire que bien évidemment, ça va être la grosse fête du slibard avec le Renegade Squadron complètement cheaté jusqu'à la trogne avec Leia et le Wookiee Navigator. C'est juste LA carte qu'il fallait pour lancer la combo de malade.

Raaaah mais pourquoi la vidéo se lance pas!!! Vite vite, rentrons et regardons ça sur le fixe! Vous lire me donne trop envie.

Pour la capture, le palais de Jabba augmente ta réserve aussi, c'est pas mal! Attendons de voir l'extension scum pour voir ce qu'ils nous sortent.

La Palais est unique et qu'en deux exemplaires max :-/

Pour les unités qui quittent le jeu, je me rappelle pas très bien, mais les cartes capturées sont elles hors jeu ?

EDIT : je viens de vérifier dans le livret de règles. Les unités capturées ne quittent pas le jeu. Elles sont juste placées face cachée sous un objectif, donc le concept ne fonctionne pas

Les cartes capturées sont "out of play".

Zanka a écrit:Les cartes capturées sont "out of play".

Je confirme, les cartes capturées sont "hors jeu" et je confirme qu'elles quittent le jeu par ailleurs.

Zanka a raison.

Rulebook, P27 a écrit:In play and Out of play
A player’s unit cards, enhancement cards, and the current
objective cards in his play area are considered “in play.”
“Out of play” refers to the cards in a player’s hand, his
facedown decks, his discard pile, his edge stack, his
victory pile, and any cards that are captured.
Card effects only interact with, and can only target,
cards that are in play, unless the effect text specifically
refers to an out-of-play card or area.
A player’s affiliation card is always considered in play,
and cannot be removed from play by any card effect.
A card “enters play” when it moves from its “out of play”
origin to a player’s play area. For example, a card enters
play when it is played from a player’s hand, put into play
from his objective deck, or is placed in a player’s play area
by some card effect.
A card that “leaves play” moves from a player’s play area
to the “out of play” destination indicated by card or rules
text. “Remove” and “Discard” are common terms that
indicate a card must leave play.

EDIT : Encore grillé par le Chapon !
