One Turn Mill

By gokubb, in Star Wars: Destiny

Anyone run into this or build it yet? Premise is that you use the draw your entire deck shenanigans and recurring Long Con w/ new Leia, running Buy Out and Lying in Wait to mill opponent on the first turn. It works...consistently...and is stupid.

This sounds amazing honestly you got a list? I'm sure there's a counter strategy somehow just like for the last OTK deck. For starters, how does lying in wait kill your hand if you still have cards too?

You’re allowed to discard a card to reroll zero dice. Play Lying in Wait as the last card in your hand. Insight or Fond Memories right before so you don’t mill yourself out as well.

I ran something like this prior to atg and at the time it worked on and off. As for constructing decks of this sort you need to find a balance to drawing and discarding... hate to say it but if you go into building a deck like a yugioh pot of greed it might make more sense. Cycling cards is important as is with resource management.

Just keep in mind for otm only requires you to mill 25 card and since the plan is to draw and use your entire deck turn one it's better to limit your mill option to the manner appropriate and keep a balance of resource generation(I personal found 1 strength thru weakness in combination with 1 strike breafing and 2 secret missions yielded better results than just 2 strength) and card draw

Lying in Wait is the only discard card you need. The version I’ve played against runs blue Ezra, Boushh, and Anakin.

With Don’t Get Cocky and the Plot you need to only mill 20 cards. One Lying in Wait destroys the whole hand.

Yep I also recommend bring balance if you are indeed using dont get cocky and also well connected, in my semi refine pre atg deck it actually fell to 19 cards mill needed first turn, how ever like most draw power decks it will easily be labeled as npe deckband also easily countered if the opponent knows your m.o. Disrupt sides becomes your bane and with the introduction of stifle

Misreading a card

That list can't be correct. Hound's Tooth is a villain card

Bouschh allows inclusion of villain cards. And really, for a deck whose entire win condition is a massive Buy Out... Hound's Tooth is what triggered you?
