Fire up your podracers and get ready for some racing action in Star Wars Destiny! Relive the magic of Episode 1 with these new podracing cards.
Going way back to the hype of Episode 1 all those years ago, Destiny is bringing podracing back! It wouldn’t be a race without young Anakin Skywalker. This 7 health Yellow Hero character clocks in at 7 points or 10 for Elite. He’s all about podracing however, as his character die features no damage output. 1 discard, 1 shield, and 3 sides with 1 resource make for one dedicated racer. He has a character ability that allows you to turn a droid or podracer die to any side after you activate him. This can help with his one-of-a-kind podracer that he built himself! 
Anakin Skywalker’s Podracer is a Yellow Hero Support that costs 2 resources. What you get with this is Ambush and a die that supports Anakin’s character dice. 1 disrupt, 1 discard, 1 shield, 2 shields, and +1 resource. The interesting part is the ability on this support. After you resolve this die you may discard the top card of a deck, or if you spot Anakin, you may discard a card from your opponent’s hand. This has a bit of a mill value to it, that works well with Anakin’s discard side on his character dice and podracer. 
Since Anakin can change a die facing if its a droid or podracer, add the trusty Astromech R2-D2 to your deck. R2 always comes through in the clutch with his die having 1 melee, 1 focus, 1 disrupt, 1 resource, and 2 special ability sides that allow you to resolve one of your dice, increasing its value by 1. This is a great Support to add since Anakin can turn R2’s die to any face that is beneficial to your dice pool!
To get the most out of his podracer, Anakin will needs Start Your Engines! Much like Lightsaber pull, this 0 cost Event allows you to search your deck for a podracer, and add it to your hand, then shuffle your deck. This can get your podracer in the game early and start milling your opponent’s deck and hand! Fire up your podracer with Anakin in Star Wars Destiny!
