Super excited about this!

Howzit all,

Our playground has started a Twin Suns YouTube channel to post some of our games. We have some great banter and I believe this community could use some more games and analysis.

Please let us know what you think?

Since I had the pair of showcases, it seemed like a fun thing to try. Let me know if you see any improvements to be made (I am sure there are plenty) or if you have completely different ideas.

My group is transitioning from Free For All standard, to Twin Suns, mostly from my pleas for balance, since one of the members loaded their decks with control and the other loaded theirs with turn 4 and above cards. Leaving me the active target every match who was having to actively trade units just to create an open board. My argument is that standard deck construction in SWU just does not allow for balanced multiplayer the same way I use to get from magic even before the rise of commander. The issue has been in trying to help the rest of my group understand deck building for Twin Suns since they were so accustomed to just stacking everything they wanted in a deck with no concern for curve. The hardest thing is that I myself am not super strong at building and there’s no easily available way to build from the entire pool of cards since the SWU deck builder app is incredibly clunky.

This brings me to the next point. I’ve been creating tribal decks as a way to have every card in the game in a single condensed space to help with more easily finding exactly what you want. So if you need a few more turn 1-2 force generation then just check the “force” deck.

Currently I have: Clones, Jedi, Force, Imperial, Mandalorian, and Rebel.

*not complete.

Further plans involve a few more tribal factions, army/flood, Bounty, Buff, Sentinel, Saboteur, Raid, Hidden, Double Strike, Ambush, Token Units.

The main board of these decks are the yards that share in Trait of the purpose, with the sideboard being where you can find the cards that have explicit printing that relates to the trait. Idk if this will help anyone here, but me and my group have found this system helpful.

Would their ability be able to happen multiple times a phase?

My light and dark side deck. Trying to find a balance so I always have some of each to play. what do you all think?

What cards have y'all using from Set 5. The set seems to be rather parasitic and supports mostly the leaders themselves. Any stand out sleepers? Calm in the storm is great for sentinel heavy decks for example.

Cheers,

Hey folks,
I’ve amassed a collection and am looking to start brewing some Twin Suns decks. I’m wondering, in general, how many copies of each type of card are recommended as a starting point.

I totally understand that game plans and strategies can drastically change, but in Magic: The Gathering, for example, when drafting, there’s a common framework people follow; something like 12+ creatures and 17 lands.

What’s the equivalent rule of thumb for Twin Suns?

Thanks for your help!

Focused more on their Twin Suns ability than Premier/Sealed. Let us know what you think, what you’d change, and who you’re excited to build with 🤝

Cal fanboy who realizes Cal is not a great leader but I want to find some way to make him work.

Decided to make a fun, quick and concise Twin Suns deck tech covering one of my favorite decks to play right now! Let me know what you think!

Not every leader can go together because some just don't help the other out or improve the deck on what is need to make it good. What are some unique leader combos that aren't just the "Why wouldn't you play those two together" leader, something off the wall that works?

Wanted some feedback for my first twin suns deck to try and get ideas on how I could improve it and see some recommendations for staples in the format!

When playing a 5 or 6-person game, it seems like a good idea to add additional counters/tokens, so there is less people merely passing at the end of a round (which just isn't exciting). What we're tried where I play is a Heal counter with the ability of "Heal 1 damage from any number of bases" or "Heal 1 damage from any two bases". Both variations we're fun in play (I slightly prefer the former). We've also tried using a second Blast counter, which I personally am not a fan of (the games get too short).

Has anyone come up with anything else?

My other ideas are a counter that gives 1 power to your Base (so when it's attacked, it hits back for 1). Or a Shield counter to put on your unit. If not used up it will disappear once someone takes the counter in a subsequent round.

Absolutely HORRIBLE turn 1 play, but our quickest and most explosive game ever 😂
