Decklist

Sorted by cost. Cards tagged "Splash" are outside Ahsoka's colors and use Canto Bight to get around the aspect penalty, so choose carefully which one gets the splash each game.

How the Deck Wins

Core Game Plan

The principles that carry across every matchup. The matchup notes below explain how each one changes.

Kill Their Units

The deck is packed with Ambush units. Against decks whose removal needs units on the board, clearing everything they play can win the game by itself.

Choose Your Arena

Against decks holding Ambush units for the ground, start in space. Stack pilots onto your ships, then pivot to the ground with Neel and Tribubble Bongo Sub entering play ready.

Damage Before the Flip

Push as much damage as you can before Ahsoka deploys. Delaying the flip is often correct when the board is already working for you.

Protect Ahsoka

Losing your leader to Condemn usually loses the game. Sabine Wren and Renew are your outs, so plan your splash and sideboard around them.

Matchup Guide

Plans for the decks you'll face most in Season 2. Rogue decks and other pilot leaders aren't covered here; most of the field is a variant of one of these.

How to Play It

  • Open in space with Mando's N-1 Starfighter. They'll want to hold their ground Ambush units to stop Han Solo and Captain Tarpals, so they end up resourcing badly and can't answer a hand full of ships.
  • Keep adding space units (N-1 Starfighter, Stolen AT-Hauler, Millennium Falcon) and pilot onto them to build one huge threat in space.
  • Pivot to the ground on 4 resources: Neel plus Tribubble Bongo Sub has it enter play ready.
  • Push as much damage as you can before you flip. Sometimes the right play is to delay the flip.
  • You usually lose this game when they Condemn your Ahsoka leader. Sabine and Renew are your answers.

Why These Cards

Han Solo (1-drop)Gets Weakness-tokened and isn't worth spending your splash on. Sabine is the splash card here.

Tribubble Bongo SubDies immediately to their Saboteur Fennec Shand, so don't sink resources into too many.

Koska ReevesRefills the board and gives you a Sentinel so they stop picking off your one-drops.

Luminara UnduliHemlock is slow to close games, so Luminara can bring you back from a losing position.

RenewAnswers Condemn and other Condition upgrades. A flex slot that may not survive future versions of the sideboard.

How to Play It

  • Similar to the Hemlock matchup, but keep Han Solo in. He's strong here.
  • Go as tall and as wide as you can, with more top end than usual.
  • Respect their Palpatine unit: it can steal your piloted units, so don't overload one ship.

Why These Cards

Chewbacca (pilot)Pilots are a liability when Palpatine can take the unit they're attached to.

Booma BallThey play very few upgrades. The only thing you'd bounce is a Shield token.

Fennec ShandNot worth the splash in this matchup.

Arvel SkeenInteraction with their credits.

Luminara UnduliMore top end for a longer game.

Bring In

No changes. Run the main deck.

Take Out

No changes.

How to Play It

  • No changes. The main deck is already tuned for this matchup.
  • Try to kill every unit they play. You have a lot of Ambush units, and much of their removal only works if they have units on the board.
  • Sabine Wren and Han Solo are both excellent here.

Why These Cards

Koska ReevesThe only sideboard card worth considering, but Han Solo and Sabine are faster and better.

How to Play It

  • Add Sentinels and a board wipe to blunt their wide, cheap board.
  • Play Luke Skywalker on your flip turn to wipe their board. That can be your comeback.
  • Keep Queen Amidala in.

Why These Cards

Luke Skywalker (6-drop)Wipes the board on your flip turn.

Koska ReevesA Sentinel to hold off their swarm.

Elzar MannToo slow into a fast, low-curve deck.

How to Play It

  • Bring in Arvel Skeen to pop their credits.
  • Keep the other Sabines. Sabine can defeat their Shielded Sentinels.
  • The game can go long if they stall, so add Luminara as a finisher.
  • Side out Queen Amidala. She can't be played into their Bo-Katan.

Why These Cards

Arvel SkeenCredit hate.

Koska ReevesMore Sentinels.

Luminara UnduliA finisher for a stalled game.

Booma BallLow value against this deck.

Queen AmidalaCan't be played into their Bo-Katan.
