"She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. I’ve made a lot of special modifications myself."
–Han Solo, Star Wars: A New Hope
Let the tinkering with new decks begin!
What will you bring to your local Store Championships? Will you play with the top decks from the World Championships, or will you bring decks designed to surprise your opposition? The 2018 Store Championships are here, and now's the time to modify your decks.
The alternate art Force Speed awarded to each of the Top 32 participants features artwork by artist Amelie Hutt that takes us back to a time when the Jedi figured more prominently in the galaxy's affairs. Instead of artwork that recalls Luke Skywalker's rescue of Han Solo from Jabba's Palace, this version recalls the offensive at Ringo Vinda that was led by the sisters Tiplar and Tiplee, both Jedi Masters.
The extended art, Aurebesh version of Tinkering is the same as the card awarded at the Rivals Limited Event, although the misprinted cost has been corrected to reflect the card's actual resource cost of zero.
Top 8
If you hope to make the Top 8, you'll need to make the Force your ally—even if you aren't a Jedi or a Sith.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a Jedi or a Sith to be strong with the Force, as was evidenced by the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano. After her personal trials led her to step away from the Jedi Order—but not from the light side of the Force—Ahsoka remained a powerful Force user and used her skills to help rally the fledgling Rebel Alliance. She also adorns the deck box you'll receive if you make the Top 8 at a 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Store Championship.
Top 4
If you like the new artwork for the Force Speed awarded to the Top 32, but you're not sure you're looking to include the card in a deck you'd rather build around red and yellow characters, then you'll want to be sure to fight your way into your Store Championship's Top 4 places. Each of the Top 4 participants at a 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Store Championship will receive a full-size playmat featuring the same image of Tiplar and Tiplee as shown on the Force Speed card.
Not only does this playmat allow you to enjoy the dynamic colors and lines that Amelie Hutt uses to reflect the speed of the Jedi's movements, but it allows you to start with the artwork in play and at full size. You don't have to draw it, and it won't be cut off at the edge of the card. Instead, you get the whole piece—complete with deflected blaster fire and headless battle droids!
Top 2
Rise to the occasion, battle your way into the Top 2 at your Store Championship, and you'll have proven yourself strong with the Force. For your efforts, you'll be rewarded with a plastic, spot-glossed Ahsoka Tano card—foil-stamped to commemorate your place in the event, either 1st or 2nd.
Not only does this card celebrate your achievement by spot-glossing the galaxy's most famous Togruta, but it dampens the impact of the surrounding scenery and features a grey-scale reverse side that helps you better mourn Ahsoka's loss should you ever lose her… Of course, if you've just made the Top 2, the chances are you won't lose Ahsoka very often.
