[JarJarDrinks]

•Beldon's Eye & •All My Urchins [Beldon's Eye (V)] 3
[Cloud City - R]
LIGHT - EFFECT
Text: Deploy on table. Once per game, if Quiet Mining Colony on table, may search your hand and/or Reserve Deck and reveal an [Independent] starfighter and matching pilot; place both in hand, reshuffle; they each deploy -1 this turn. Once per game, if a battle just initiated at Bespin system, may cancel that battle (if Executor not there, opponent may instead use 3 Force). [Immune to Alter.]
[Set 11]

QMC has never been a deck that I could wrap my head around, but this is mostly just a better Beldon's Eye that lets you do what QMC wants to do. I look forward to having lots of my battles canceled.

I really like the cancelling battle bit. I’ve dropped the Executor on Harc once with Never Again Leave, it was not pretty, and it shouldn’t be that easy. Great job.

If I may nitpick, shouldn’t the last bit read ,”if Executor is not present, opponent may use 3 force to continue battle.” I feel like the wording is somewhat out of phase with typical SWCCG. Great card though!

As long as you understand the intent the final wording will have gone through proofing.

This card also solves the game-forfeiting problem of not finding either Harc Seff or Overseer and the resultant deck-weakening by including multiples of one of both.

As a QMC fanboy I think this is super helpful. Like SUPER helpful. However, on average I really dislike the tendency to set up automatically that is happening a lot.

QMC already had that setup. This just adds consistency.

I like it, glad to see QMC continuing to get help back in to the meta. Seems like a good deck to have in the meta right now since it's typically favored over ROps but I believe (could be wrong) unfavored vs Map so it's in an interesting place.

I think without supplies, QMC can do pretty okay vs Map if you can stack your Resistance Agent.

Yeah wording is weird to me. So unless the executor is present once per game dark side needs to spend 3 force to battle there? That's basically the intent? I guess it just prevents the early beat down.

Intent is:
If Executor is there you cancel the battle
If Executor isn't there you give the opponent the choice between using 3 Force or letting the battle be canceled

FWIW, I think wording it like Projective Telepathy would be crystal clear (and effectively work the same way).

"Once per game, if opponent just initiated battle at Bespin system, may make opponent choose to use 3 Force (or 15 Force if Executor there), or cancel that battle."

ftfy to match previous intent

Proofing will clear up the text before release.

Are we going to blank the original?

Original still has value in that it conditionally gives +2 defense value.

Hate to break it to you, but that was the clear text.

Thanks!

I think it's wording is fine. If I was going to complain about anything, it would be that it's odd to search for a card in your hand in order to put it in your hand. I'm not sure how much it would impact functionality, but if you just said "/\ an indy Starship and/or Pilot," it would read a little smoother. Of course then you could /\ just about any good character. I dunno, maybe make it Alien pilot... okay, so now I see why it was worded the way it is. I withdraw my suggestion.

Okay. I meant automatically AND consistently...

In that case, agree to disagree.

I just can't understand the mindset that increasing the luck factor in a decks early game set up is a good thing.

I think it depends on the situation. If a deck has to pull xyz or it just loses, adding that variance feels mean, but there is something to playing TRM and not knowing whether you'll get the JCC, Boss Nass Chambers, or both. I've resigned myself to being wrong, but I do wish more decks had the chance to have an explosive start with the trade off that it won't happen every game.
