(Poppin' Wheelies) 4-2 Atlanta GQ Standard Team3G! 1.0

• Versioni
• 1.0

After hearing about General Grievous' Wheel Bike and the things people were trying to do with it, I decided to give it a try. I found out very quick that having both laser turrets attached to General Grievous' Wheel Bike was easily the best thing about this deck. The free reset leading into more indirect made the value of this deck insane. Also, having three dorsal turret dice rolled in the pool in one round was very good. I had prepared to use this deck for a week prior to the event and catch people off guard. Someone had went 5-1 with it in the GQ the day before, so everyone already knew the sick tricks you could do with this bike. That being said, here are the match ups I had:

Round 1: Loss Snoke/Watto/FOST I was able to get the Wheel Bike going with some upgrades, and I was on damage going into round 3. I felt like I had a good lead until he used Vandalize on the Wheel Bike. I was able to hang in the game for a couple more rounds, but by the time I was able to play my defoliator tank he had already won.

Round 2: Win Padme/Saw I was able to steadily remove his dice and he did not roll very well. If I remember correctly, he only resolved Saw's special once. I was able to get the Wheel Bike going and won.

Round 3: Win Tobias/Iden I knew what this deck could do since my teammate Steven was playing this deck and actually ended up going 6-0 with it. The main thing I remember about this match was trying to remove as many character dice as possible because of my new fear of Vandalize. I do not remember much besides that from the match.

Round 4: Win Vader/FOST This match was against Andrew Cox from the Hyperloops. He laid down the Vader and I was instantly worried about a Fear and Deadmen that could wipe me off the board. I used my mulligan to search for The Best Defense and another piece of removal. I was able to get both in my hand. I was able to shut down his first turn with my opening hand while also getting the Wheel Bike ready. The second round I was able to do the same thing with The Best Defense and another piece of removal to end his round early again. By this point, the Wheel Bike was ready with the Laser Cannons on it. He did get a good Fear and Deadmen off, but it was too late at that point. I activated Wheel Bike for my first action of the next round to win.

Round 5: Win Snoke/Watto/FOST This match was against Lake Quittmeyer from Your Destiny. After my first round in the GQ, I felt like I could hang with the Snoke/Watto/FOST deck. I just needed to avoid a Vandalize and I would be okay. I do not remember how the game started, but he was not able to get out many supports right away. I was able to kill Snoke early round 2 and do some damage to Watto and FOST. He started to get the big supports in play, but I already had Wheel Bike ready. The main thing I remember from this game was my heart sinking when he played Vandalize late in the game. I thought I my Wheel Bike had been beaten again the same way. Thankfully, he only had two character dice in play and removed the Triple Laser Turret from play. I had both Laser Cannons in play and was able to win at the start of the next round by activating the Wheel Bike.

Round 6: Loss Tobias/Iden This was against my teammate, Steven, who ended up going 6-0. He was the only 5-0 going into the last round, so I was paired up with him. This match is discussed in his write-up, so I am not going to say much here. If you want more info about the match-up, look at his write-up.

Overall Thoughts: This is the most fun deck I have played during a Star Wars: Destiny tournament. I had only worked on it for a week, and it did everything I wanted it to. The only big thing I would change about this deck would be the Defoliator Tank. The only time I used it was in game 1 after my Wheel Bike was wiped off the board. I would swith it out with something like Umbaran Hovertank. Besides that, there is not much I would change. Energize allowed me to make some ridiculous plays and made my damage output higher. Getting the 2 melee on sentinel messenger and modifying with the 3 melee from the Wheel Bike was amazing, but doing it twice with Energize was busted. I usually play different decks just to get the different play experiences this game has to offer, but this deck now has made me want to incorporate Wheel Bike as much as possible. I plan to keep improving on this deck and continue to pop some wheelies with my new favorite bike.
