The best combo in here is Leia + Wookiee Navigator + any card that removes Leia from play (Swindled, Fall Back, or You're My Only Hope). You can also combo Ackbar with Fall Back to clear out enemy swarms. NEVER overcommit, though. For those who've played Magic, you should play it like a Necrodeck: try to have just enough units on the board to overwhelm your opponent, and not a single unit more than that. A New Hope can really save your bacon against another swarm deck if your opponent overcommits, or you can pop it to return high-Force units to hand and win an Edge battle. Han's great for clearing out any annoying utility units your opponent refuses to send into engagements. Finally, between Stolen Plans, A-Wing, and Mission Briefing, you shouldn't have trouble with draw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badmojojojo 68 Posted January 13, 2013 I recommend trying to squeeze in another Questionable Contacts. Han Solo and everything else in that set is invaluable. Maybe take out one of the other single objective sets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winner 30 Posted January 13, 2013 I like where you are going with this deck. I'll have to throw something similar together and see how it fairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe take out one of the other single objective sets. I went back and forth on that one, TBH. I literally unsleeved and re-sleeved multiple objective sets trying to find a good balance. I really want to be able to run Ackbar in this, but most of the other cards in Draw Their Fire aren't all that great. I mean, running more X-Wings is always good, but Fleet Command Center is a dead draw in this deck, and X-Wing Escort and Heroic Sacrifice are situational at best. The other options would be to drop The Rebel Fleet, which I'm also reluctant to do, because that means I lose Home One and a copy of both Y-Wing and Target of Opportunity, or lose Secrets, which also means I have one less Y-Wing and both Rebel Assault and Red Two get cut. Such a tough call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarthWMaster 367 Posted January 16, 2013 If Ackbar leaves this deck, so too does the right of naming it "It's a Trap!". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
