After pulling a Jabba the Hutt from Way of the Force at the end of Episode 34, I decided to dive back into deckbuilding with the Renowned Gangster. How many different dice cards featuring specials can one cram into a deck? Well it's time to find out! I built an updated red version and a brand new blue version to try and stop my skid of losing the Greg. And here's some words you probably never thought you'd hear: Kylo Ren's Starfighter FTW! ---Want to support the podcast and get $30 back for yourself?

Jabba Strikes Back

What's a person to do with new copies of both Han Solo, Old Swindler and Entourage? Well, build a scoundrel deck, of course! I'm back to talk about my adventures in trying to make Han4/Qi'Ra work in some casual games. You know what they say: Profiteering ain't easy. Jank It Up, Fuzzball is on social media!Twitter: @jankitupInstagram: jankitupfuzzballFacebook: Jank It Up, Fuzzball---Podcast theme music: "District Four" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Han and Qi'Ra Die A Lot

I'm back to discuss the concept of building blue, yellow, and red decks around a singular character. Think Neapolitan ice cream, but with Destiny instead. Before that, however, I felt compelled to discuss how and why I asked for – and received – a refund from Fantasy Flight Games for my Destiny Worlds ticket. That money is now being put to far greater good with the Minnesota Freedom Fund. I share some thoughts on Black Lives Matter and discuss wanting to be a better ally and more actively fight against racism. Thanks for tuning in. ---Show Notes:I've made several donations following the death of George Floyd to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, including a recent one in the amount of my Worlds ticket cost. I discussed the Sul Ross statue on the campus of my alma mater, Texas A&M University. Here's an article from the school newspaper about two petitions going around -- one to remove the statue and another to keep it. Lastly, here's a really interesting essay on what racism and white privilege actually mean. ---Jank It Up, Fuzzball is on social media!Twitter: @jankitupInstagram: jankitupfuzzballFacebook: Jank It Up, Fuzzball---Podcast theme music: "District Four" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Destiny Neapolitan

Greg and I are back to discuss our first proper venture in the Awakenings block. We both jumped into Star Wars Destiny during the Legacies cycle, but have since bought a number of older Awakenings era boxes and have finally begun exploring those earlier sets. First up is Spirit of Rebellion, as those boxes have been on our shelves the longest. We discuss cracking packs over Zoom and playing through our boxes over four rounds of play on Tabletop Simulator. We then talk about some of our favorite card pulls from the set, and then close the show as we always do -- by cracking a pack!---Show Notes:Stay safe! Wash your Hands! ---Jank It Up, Fuzzball is on social media!Twitter: @jankitupInstagram: jankitupfuzzballFacebook: Jank It Up, Fuzzball---Podcast theme music: "District Four" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Jank Madness

I share my thoughts on the sudden announcement of Destiny's demise and try to talk myself into being excited for attending Worlds in May. Then, I talk a bit about some decks I've tried out recently and recap a 1/2 box sealed battle I had with Greg using Legacies and the Rivals draft kit. Could my team of Yoda, Wedge Antilles, and a Clone Trooper win the day? After that, I crack some new Spark of Hope booster packs generously donated by both Kingwood Hobbies and Gameshop of Destiny. Bonus: I crack a third pack, given to me by Clare, a fellow Maul player and co-host of the SPLANCHNICS podcast. Lastly, I'm giving away a Maul monochromatic card!

The Double Laser Tripwire

Happy Holidays everyone! Here's my recap of our "White Elephant" Sealed Deck Christmas Charity Tournament held on December 14th near Houston. I'm proud to report that the event – put together by Kingwood Hobbies, Coaxium Gaming, and Jank It Up, Fuzzball – raised nearly $300 for a local chapter of Toys-for-Tots. We had twenty participants for a truly jank-tastic tourney, and I recap all the action -- from the white elephant distribution of wrapped decks, to how I did personally over five rounds, and then culminating with our Top 4 and crowning a tournament champion. I had an absolute blast playing Destiny with other members of the Houston community, and my heart is full from the money our event was able to raise for such a great cause. As with last episode, I then crack a couple of Star Wars Destiny booster packs – one generously donated by Gameshop of Destiny and the other by Kingwood Hobbies. I greatly appreciate the support of both! Then, stick around to the very end to learn how to enter in a giveaway for a non-foil monochromatic Leia Organa (Heart of the Resistance) and a Jank It Up, Fuzzball power action token to use with it.---Show Notes and Referrals:If you like what you heard about the Dealer's Choice Decks Trey made for the event, you can buy your own from Kingwood Hobbies.I have about fifteen of my Jank Power Action tokens left for purchase in my shop. I'll likely reorder more after the new year.Reminder: I designed an alt-art card for the forthcoming Luke Skywalker (Red Five), available only with a Covert Missions box preorder from Gameshop of Destiny.

Sealed Decks for Charity

I'm happy to be back with a report on my recent luck piloting a yellow villain Solidarity deck and also reveal some aspirations for a new Phasma3/Clawdite/Clawdite build. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Before I dive into the hot details of some recent games, however, I talk about a brand new Covert Missions alt-art I was commissioned to make for by Gameshop of Destiny. Then, I gush a bit over my new Jank It Up, Fuzzball power action tokens, now available in my shop. I then make one last pitch for my December 14th Christmas Charity Tournament in Kingwood, TX, benefiting a local chapter of Toys-for-Tots. Near the end of the episode I crack not one but two Star Wars Destiny booster packs – one generously donated by Gameshop of Destiny and the other by Kingwood Hobbies.

Choose Your Own Subtype Adventure

With Worlds in the rearviewmirror, I'm eager to get back into more casual Star Wars Destiny play. Is there such a thing as a good villain droids deck? I certainly try to find out, using 4-LOM as my muse. I also break down some Legacies sealed games that Greg and I recently played having dusted off our Rivals draft kit. (Lobot lives!) Before any of that, however, I talk about a really cool Christmas Charity Tournament I'm hosting along with Trey from Kingwood Hobbies. It features a white elephant gift exchange of Dealer's Choice Decks that Trey will put together. So come join us in Kingwood, TX, on Saturday, December 14th for the casual fun while helping us raise money to be donated to a local chapter of Toys-for-Tots.

Super Battle Villain Droids

I'm back from an amazing 48 hours in Minnesota for Star Wars Destiny Worlds! It was incredible, and I spend the episode going over all the details of my trip, including how I did in pods and on Day 1A running Maul/Mandalorian Super Commando. Shout out to all of the Destiny friends I finally met in person and also to the new friends I made at the event. It was an experience I won't soon forget!Afterwards – as always – we crack a pack, courtesy of Kingwood Hobbies!

Worlds Recap!

Jank It Up, Fuzzball is a podcast looking at the casual side of Star Wars: Destiny, as told by one player's experiences with the game. I'm your host, Brian, and my goal is to shine a light on lesser-used characters and cards from the FFG game.
