Tournament Report: 2016 40k Conquest Regionals @ Great Escape Games


This Saturday, I and several friends from the Berkeley Conquest group headed up to Sacramento to play in Regionals. I took a somewhat experimental Eldorath deck – while I was not entirely sure that this deck was “ready for prime time”, playing it seemed interesting to me and it had done well in testing.

objective set, and then go over a deck list that will include it.

My name is Micah (although I often go by chiller087 on many forums, including cardgamedb). I was invited to put some of my thoughts of Star Wars LCG into digital print by the gracious Dav and Hoop. After giving it some thought, I decided I wanted to do a series of articles to highlight some off-meta decks that have shown some (sometimes a lot of) success in our area, but are perhaps not as free-flowing as current top-tier Jedi lists or well structured Navy builds.
