Those Jedi cards are just nasty. I wish the Rebels would get some more great cards like that.

Imperial Blockade is the crazy thing from the preview IMO.
It is perfect for my Capital Ships deck. Being able to removed focus tokens on Capital Ships is kind of crazy with how powerful they are.

If Rebels got something like that it'd made Home One almost the best card in the game.

Yeah Devastator will just demolish poo poo with that card. (I assume you mean Apology Accepted)

Also, if you destroy the Alderaan objective, destroy the Alderaan characters. Awesome.

Yes I was just trying to figure out the drawback to the Sith set and couldn't. Couldn't figure out a use for the Alderaan artist, either .

This deck absolutely whipped rear end at a tournament today. Super happy with its performance. I feel like it will change the meta here a lot.

Rebel Alliance (Core)


Total Objective Sets: (10)

2x The Defense of Yavin 4 (Core)
Red Two (Core)
Y-Wing (Core)
Astromech Droid Upgrade (Core)
Hidden Outpost (Core)
Rebel Assault (Core)

2x Questionable Contacts (Core)
Han Solo (Core)
Twi'lek Smuggler (Core)
Cloud City Casino (Core)
Swindled (Core)
Crossfire (Core)

2x Prepare for Evacuation (A Dark Time)
Renegade Squadron Escort (A Dark Time)
Renegade Squadron Escort (A Dark Time)
Action-series Bulk Transport (A Dark Time)
Ion Cannon Burst (A Dark Time)
Battle of Hoth (A Dark Time)

2x Raise the Stakes (Edge of Darkness)
Blockade Runner (Edge of Darkness)
Cloud City Operative (Edge of Darkness)
Bothan Spy (Edge of Darkness)
Smuggling Compartment (Edge of Darkness)
Swindled (Edge of Darkness)

2x Across the Anoat Sector (Edge of Darkness)
Sleuth Scout (Edge of Darkness)
Sleuth Scout (Edge of Darkness)
Undercover Operative (Edge of Darkness)
Smuggler's Run (Edge of Darkness)
Over My Dead Body (Edge of Darkness)

Strategy is pretty simple. Send in cards undefended to blow up objectives fast. The only thing that slowed me down was on enemy objective that made units more expensive when undamaged, and one that made events more expensive when undamaged.

edit: My Capture deck, however, was loving abysmal.

The main problems with my capture deck: Boba Fett basically sucks. Captured can be canceled. Lack of resources to play relatively expensive cards.

EVIR Gibson posted:

I think if Feeding the Saarlak pit along with Incinerators objective enhancement, you can discard a lot of captured cards to never give the LS a chance to get the draw of the game when they hit the objective with tons of captured cards.

Yeah that was the plan, but capturing stuff is a lot tougher than it seems. I think next time I will drop Boba Fett for Bossk's set. I'll work in the Jawa set too.

Everyone was playing Chewbacca yesterday, he absolutely wrecks poo poo. The smug Jedi deck got even better. :stare:

He mostly sucks because he kills Han before he can capture him. He only captures Luke if he is undamaged.
And yeah, he sucks worse without his armor.

That's actually answered in the new FAQ they put up today.

quote:

(4.8) Limits
“Limit once per X” refers to that specific ability on that
particular card. Each copy of a card with such a limit
may use its ability once per each period of X. This type
of limit tends to appear on cards that stay in play.
“Limit 1 per X” refers to all copies of a card, by title.
Only 1 copy of a card with the same title may be played
by each player during each period of X. This type of limit
tends to appear on event cards.
If a card or effect with a limit is canceled, it is still
considered to have been played or initiated, and counts
towards the limit.

Resource generation totally depends on what you want to play. My main Light Side deck has nothing costing more than 4 in it, so I can survive just with objectives and my faction card.

Honestly, it's really hard to critique a deck without 2 sets of each box.

Dr. Video Games 0029 posted:

Okay, so I'm kind of interested in this game, mainly because I'm looking for strong 2 player-only board/card games (or board/card games that work very well with just two players). However, I've been burnt quite a bit by FF games. My brother bought the LotR co-operative game, which just bored the poo poo out of us, and Netrunner was disappointing because the winner kept ending up being the guy who drew all his money cards first.

I watched the video, and it seems to avoid the Netrunner issue of having to build up money to perform actions. Would I like this game better?

You don't need to stockpile resources to perform actions, if that's what you mean. You play the cards you have. I've won games with just a couple of Y-Wings.

It's a really dense game, and has only gotten better as more cards release, but it's very different from Netrunner.

Last week we tried the search for Skywalker 2v1 scenario. Man that Light side deck is brutal. You really need to build strong decks to manage it because it just ran over us both times. Red Five is nigh unstoppable and with the enhancements the deck runs it's silly powerful. Second game we just managed to get Luke on the board and then didn't have nearly enough guns/blast icons on the board to kill him.

The Dark Side deck is really brutal too. I am still not sure how to build to beat either one.

Finally getting around to trying some sets I've wanted to try (Frozen Refuge and A Hero's Resolve)

Generally the goal is to overwhelm them to win Edge then bomb the poo poo out of them with stuff like Wedge/Rogue 3/Luke and FX-7. Hold the Line is in there for defenders, mostly.
