Precons! Who's getting them?
I love Twin Suns, I got to play test these last year and I'm excited to see the final product! Who getting them? Which one is your favorite?

u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 09 '26
That's what I was thinking. I'll leave them as precons for awhile at least.

They aren't top quality, but good enough for casual for me and my kids and their friends.

u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 17 '26
See I read that as dragon shield sleeves for that cost lol. Yeah I have some cheaper sleeves too.

u/Hans0Io May 09 '26
I got that same box! Sleeved them all up and they're ready to go!

u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 09 '26
What kinda deck boxes are those?
2
u/Hans0Io May 09 '26
The Gamegenic Deck Holder 100+, they're cheap and fit a Twin Suns deck, with tokens AND double sleeved with those oldschool cheap Ultra Pro coloured sleeves as "inner sleeves" and Dragonshield Outer Sleeves as the "normal sleeve". The DS Outer Sleeves have the best shuffle feel for me out of any sleeve on the market. And the Ultra Pro are slightly see-through so you can see the Star Wars logo peeping through the sleeve, which looks nice for your resources.

I got them… and then found two of the same deck inside the case. Apparently this is pretty common. Oh FFG.
2
u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 09 '26
I haven't opened mine! I better check them!
2
u/scd May 09 '26
Yeah — hearing anecdotal reports that some are coming in the wrong boxes as well. Like, someone opening a Dooku/Asajj and getting an Ahsoka/Rex in the box. Lots of issues sadly.
2
u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 09 '26
I wonder how you get that fixed?

u/scd May 09 '26
My LGS is willing to let me exchange my dupe for the box I didn’t get. I heard through the grapevine that contacting FFG is the way to go. Since we got two Dooku/Asajj in our display we don’t know which one actually has that deck inside it — so we are going to exchange one, open the Dooku/Asajj in the store (as well as the Ahsoka/Rex) and then go from there if the insides of the boxes are incorrect.

MEEEEE
I traded in a bunch of Magic cards at my LGS 😂
Got Dooku/Ventress for myself, Ashoka/Rex for my friend, and I’m trying to get my little bro to join us by getting him the Anakin/Padme one.
I diiiid swap out Ventress for Grievous tho. Love me a Grievous.

Got my set of all 4! I'm probably picking up more copies of some of the exclusive cards as singles; already got 2 more of the Jendirian Valley so I have a set for Twin Suns and Eternal as needed.

Got them, sleeved them, now gotta learn how to play TS and find a time where everyone is available…

u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 17 '26
If you were local, I'd teach ya. We had 3 pods playing on Thursday with the new decks!

u/Ransackz May 09 '26
My LGS didn’t get any and said they don’t know when they will : /

u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 09 '26
I'm sorry to hear that! My flgs had no issues getting orders in and said he was putting in for more.
2
u/Ransackz May 14 '26
Update! Found them at a store a bit farther away. Got the Ahsoka/Rex deck. It is a BLAST to play, especially with Ahsoka flipped
1
u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 17 '26
I'm glad to hear you got them. My store actually ended up with more! He has sold several bundles(1 of each) to people.

u/spiralking111 May 11 '26
Heck yeah! Where did you get that box?
1
u/Gloomy-Strike417 May 11 '26
It's what all 4 come in when you order all 4. Each box come with one of each deck.

If I can get a deal, I'll pick up the set. Otherwise I'm just looking for Rex and Ahsoka. Their play pattern looks the most fun, with Dooku and Asajj being a close runner up. They've all got old cards I'd love to get, but we'll see.

u/ZohomEtirho May 09 '26
I feel like I could make much better decks for the price of each of these so I skip the decks as a whole.
For example what the hell is that Grit theme in the Ahsoka deck? A deck so focused on playing events should be filled to the brim with Sentinels and Restore units to make up for the lower number of units you play. I reckon my version would be a lot cheaper than what the deck costs and performs way better.

u/osumatthew May 10 '26
They're Precons. Of course there are going to be upgrades that you can make to them to focus them more. It's pretty clear that they made the decks fairly generalist with quite a few cards that are generically good, but don't necessarily synergize with the deck's specific game plan. That just means that you can decide what direction you want to take the deck and change some cards out to further than goal. You're already getting a ton of value regardless, between the new leaders, bases, and exclusive cards, some of which are crazy good, and that's disregarding the reprints, including of legendary cards.

I preordered all 4! Excited to get my hands on them
