    I had some good success with this over the weekend:

     

    Jedi Affiliation

     

    The Masters Domain x2

    May the Force Be With You x2

    The Survivors x2

    Following Fate x2

    The Secret of Yavin 4

    Heroes and Legends

     

    I played against an agro Navy deck and did well.

     

    Got Yoda, You Seek Yoda and Yoda's Hut in my opening hand.

     

    Early on I had Yoda (128) enhanced with Shien Training and Obi-Wan's Lightsaber.

    By mid-game he was joined by Qu Rahn, and together they were handling everything.

     

    I replaced A Hero's Resolve with The Survivors and I did not miss either the new Luke or the Speeder Bikes.

    This is my build:

     

    2x Family Connections

    2x The Killing Cold

    2x Vader's Fist

    2x The Executor Arrives

    2x The Emperor's Web

    1x Corporate Exploitation

     

    I included Emperor's Web because I felt I needed tactics and resources, but I found that having the Royal Guards to protect Tagge is massive (especially against targeted strike).  The Lightning and Choke don't hurt, either.

     

    The Executor Arrives fits in well since I gives me even more benefits when I sacrifice cards with The Killing Cold.  Aggression is awesome, and if I do not have the resources to play them, I use Executor and Palpatine as edge cards.

     

    I have played this deck about 5 or 6 times mainly against Jedi and lost only one close game.

    I put together my first Scum Capture deck using objectives from BtS:

     

    The Hunters x2

    The Tatooine Crash x2

    The Slave Trade x2

    The Findsman's Intuition x2

    Carbonite Transport x1

    Masterful manipulation x1

    Hive of Scum and Villainy x1

     

    It works OK and has synergy, but Mono-Jedi was owning it.   I played two games with this build against Mono-Jedi and had the same problem in both games: not enough resources and not being able to handle the sheer amount of mains the Light side deployed on table.

     

    Has anyone been having success with Mono-Scum, capturing or not?   Is it viable against Mono-Jedi?

    I bought this game for my 8-year old son and we like it a lot.  

     

    This is his first time playing a card game like this, so for now, we are treating the Resource Cards like they have no text and just drawing cards to hit the resource value of the Event Cards without going over.  

     

    This is reinforcing my son's math skills while having fun.   When we get to the point when we start using the text on the cards I'm sure this will enhance his strategic thinking as well.   I am also hoping the game will peak his interest in other card games.    I see this as sort of a "gateway" game for my son.  He is getting used to using different decks at different times, shuffling cards, and learning about the "flow" of the game by focusing on the phases.

     

    The game cost only 15 bucks, it's something my son and I can do together for fun, he's using his brain, and it may lead to him playing more strategic card games.   This is a win in my book.

    Just thinking out loud about decks using the forthcoming Thrawn pod:

    The Last Grand Admiral x2

    The Ultimate Power x2

    Imperial Command x2

    Lord Vader's Command

    Unstoppable Advance

    Sabotage in the Snow

    The Endor Gambit

     

    Plenty of resources and blast damage.  Decent tactics.   Great officer protection thanks to Thrawn.   However, only 5 fate cards and winning edge battles would be an issue.

    Just throwing it out there.   Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,

     

    I am looking for input on my first TIE Swarm deck.   

     

    Affiliation: Navy

    2x Superior Numbers
    2x Kuat Reinforcements

    2x Defense Protocol

    1x Deploy the Fleet

    1x Repair and Refurbish

    1x The Dark Trooper Project

    1x Death and Despayre

    1x Endless Reserves

     

    There are 11 Objectives in the deck.  Whenever I build a dark deck with expensive units I tend to throw in Endless Reserves.   I feel it does not clog up the deck and almost always I use Vast Resources as soon as I get it.

     

    I considered splashing Sith so I could include Black Squadron Assault but I feel it could be a bit too risky. 

     

    I am also tempted to play Endor Gambit but left it out of this particular build.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks!

    Quick question about The Eater of Luck.

     

    The text reads:

    "After you lose an edge battle as the attacker, capture the top card of each opponent's deck at this objective".

     

    Does this mean you can capture the top card of your opponent's Objective deck AND Reserve deck, or does this mean you can capture the top card of a deck from each opponent-as if you were playing multi-layer?

     

    Thanks.

    This must have been asked here before so I apologize for any duplicated content:



    I still have questions about how to damage Executor.



    Here is the text:



    While this unit is undamaged, it cannot be targeted by enemy card effects.
    Reaction: After a card is sacrificed, deal 1 damage to a target enemy unit or objective.



    1. What constitutes "card effects" Can Han damage the Executor with his Unit Damage Icon but not his text?

    2. Does "sacrifice" mean when a unit leaves play, or when the card text specifically reads "sacrifice"?



    Any help would be greatly appreciated.



    Thanks!

    Just thinking about applications for Freeholders.   This may be a good strategy against Sith control decks which hold the Force with Vader, Emperor and Mara.    Wait for your opponent to have a large hand and deploy the Freeholders for cheap.  Then, play Outmaneuver to bounce them back into your hand along with a Sith unit being used to control the Force.   They all have a lower PRINTED cost than the Freeholders.  Then, drop the Freeholders again for less, since your opponent's hand is now bigger.  My question: Is it worth running The False Report to use this strategy?   If The Report comes out mid-game it could mess up your gameplay.  You could always Slice In to your Objective Deck, but it's no guarantee you will draw it (or Outmaneuver for that matter).   Thoughts?
