Interviews
Young Jedi Deck Effect, 2 October 2000
Interview conducted by Outlander Mercenary (Avery Poliak) on Young Jedi Deck Effect, the Young Jedi section of The Outer Rim. The site labeled him "DCON 2000 Simi-Finalist."[1]
Q. Since the first set of (SW or YJ : Whichever apply) all the way too today have you been a great deck builder? What keeps you coming up with ideas, and what are some?
YJ
I consider myself a good deck builder. All you have to do is read the battle and weapon cards and come up with a deck. The main idea is to focus. Also if you ever get the chance scout out your area, D's deck board, and talk to people to get some new ideas (don't copy just get ideas)
Q. Who so far would you consider your toughest opponant and why?
My first paring for day 2 at D-con was the Irena Nepevna the number one ranked player in the world, but I would not consider her my toughest opponant. YJ is just a game. Any deck can win. To this day I have never played someone who I would consider my toughest.
Q. What would you consider how to build a strong deck, and is it the same style for each deck you build?
Rares are not needed. My best deck has no rares.
See question 1
Q. Why did you decide to start playing (SW or YJ : Whichever apply) ?
YJ I went to Wizard World right after YJ came out, and I got a demo and I liked it and now I play it. Then I started playing SW just for fun.
Q. What are your thoughts of The Forth Coming sets and games from Decipher.
DOTF is gonna rock. Look at the new cards. I told myself only to get into 3 games and I am into YJ and SW and JK is soon to be my 3rd game!
Q. Can you tell us how what decks are your favorite?
Play me and find out. Ok my light is the Queen and Qui-Gon.
Q. Do you think they are the best decks for the Tournament Scene right now?
My dark side is one of the best (it is not tanks), but my light side needs work.
Q. Will you be using something similar for the Events coming up and next years events?
Can't tell
Q. Who's your toughest opponant in your area and why?
My buddy Cristian, and his buddy Even. They are just great players.
