We have played about 20-ish games and Sanctum plus Saurian winning consistently due to a few factors: 1) Prominence of healing and wards. 2) Lots of capturing and exalting with the aember being put into the common pool when creatures died and/or spending aember on creatures to forge keys.

A friend and I are trying to come up with a casual tournament idea that lets players use houses that are great but the remainder of the decks may not be good. Or if you really want to try out a deck with 3 Shards. Any ideas to improve or criticisms are welcome. Create a deck by choosing houses from 3 different Archon decks. Choose 1 house from each Archon deck. The 3 houses must be unique. No choosing Sanctum if Saurian is selected and vice versa. No choosing Mars if Star Alliance is selected and vice versa. Must have the identity card for each Archon. Cards must be in opaque sleeves.

Most of our league never use the forums so 3 isn't an option for them. Unfortunately for my local group, quite a few have gone with option 4. Quit X-wing altogether. ☹️ We lost about 30% of our players from 1E to 2E. Of the remaining players only about 50% continued to play past the first month with a few potentially coming back once the January point changes hit. When asked why they quit, it was a combination of the price increases, having to buy extra product to get certain upgrades (Afterburners are a real sore spot), and the decrease in available upgrade options. Our league did gain 3 new members, but still far below our original numbers. When Battlestar Galactica starts out I should be able to pick up a nice small core of players. My wife is already not happy when she discovered I will be playing both and getting more ships with another league night...

Which faction am I counting twice? Normally there are 210 house combinations, derived from 7x6x5. By making one faction mandatory that leaves 30. 1 x 6 x 5 = 30. Factorials are like elementary school maths.

After reading the back of the rulebook, I ran across this passage: I wonder what the chances are we will be able to use archons in play at some point? I enjoyed using the Vanguard cards in M:tG.

My wife got that one in her deck. In English it is "Strange Gizmo" and it helped her win both games shes played so far.

You're doing better than me. I was able to get 2 decks at the prerelease event at the FLGS. One deck had 1 rare with no specials/mavericks. One deck was unplayable since it actually contained parts of 2 different decks. The replacement deck from the FLGS has 2 rares and I have not gotten a win using either deck. Swapped decks with someone for a match since I must have been playing the deck wrong. I won 3 keys to zero using his deck. So far 3 decks bought at my FLGS were unusable since they contained parts of 2 different decks. Sadly, none of them were matching to at least make 1 deck. The FLGS was nice enough to let us exchange. One of the guys is keeping his deck unopened and hoping it will be a collector's item some day.

Future Quick Build cards will be built Keyforge style. Scrappy Squadron of the Laser Eaters, a Rebel Squad featuring an Aggressor maverick...

With 7 factions you need to get 30 decks. 1 (Logos) x 6 (7 factions - Logos) x 5 (the remaining 5 houses) = 30 Glad I'm not your wallet. Logos is a fun faction so far!

Decided to open the pack and it seems I have parts of 2 decks. The back part is "Wiseman Powers" and the front part is "The Leather Baroness Noble of Evertyre". Guess I need to hit up Customer Service... EDIT: FLGS said they had another deck with the same issue. Hoping they have one of the missing parts. The store said I could exchange there.

Does anyone else have a deck where the name on the decklist card does not match the name on the front of the deck? The deck list shows the name as "Wiseman Powers" and the front of the deck has "The Leather Baroness Noble of Evertyre". The deck scans into the app as Wiseman Powers.

I like your rebel choice. Imperial - TIE Advanced and TIE/LN (Vader and a +1) and/or - TIE Reaper and TIE/Striker (Scarif pack) Scum - G-1A and 2 M3-A Resistance - Bomber and A-Wing First Order - Upsilon and TE/FO

Too many panties in a twist if they skipped the Chiss...

I am wondering if the crew next to Palp is Side (or Door) Pocket Gunner? Seeing how a few other things reference the side arcs, a gunner restricted to side arc only shots sounds neat.

Wave IV predictions? New Scum style factions. For the Clone Wars called "Mercenaries and Merchants" and in the New Era another called the "Idealists and Isolationists". That way they can limit the power creep of Scum by no longer giving them more ships.
