Concept

This deck is based on the Leia/Ackbar focus-aggro deck. When playing against it I noticed that it's thin on Control features and has a small selection of guns with a "curve" going 1-3-5 (ending in Launch Bay). Thinking on that I noticed that Rebel Control and guns has alot of good stuff in yellow .

Deck Composition

This is not a mill, but an aggro deck. Padme might not look like a killer yet the only thing we really ask from her is and 2. The trick is to put all guns on her apart from the re-deployable Holdout Blaster. What she is there for is to force the opponent into prioritizing targets as either she unloads with her guns or she helps Leia Focus into hers.

Padme basically replaces Ackbar for the loss of a and on her die. The gain is by some examples:

  • Disarm - this eats Lightsabers, stumping Luke/Ackbar & Vader/Raider. DL-44 and Jetpack are brilliant enablers. Further it hits eHan/eRey as they hate when they cannot overwrite. Use it after they´ve rolled to remove their biggest roll unless there´s a big thing to hit.
  • Negotiate - here´s where Padmes "useless" dice goes. Use it after they´ve rolled one char. A real tempo changer.
  • Smuggling - Resource from thin air and is a combo piece with Rearm
  • Electroshock - needs little introduction. Neuters opposing 2 decks and Crime Lord
  • DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol - overwrite to remove a die from the opponent, while getting a free action, and you can probably Rearm back what you overwrote? What´s not to love.
  • Rebel War Room - This BG is particulary good with Rebels as they have a good number of dice which hits hard (Leia, Han and DL-44), but with a -cost attached. It bascially says that you get a free per turn at best. An additional advantage of this is that opponents seldom get any gain from it, so the typical "I´ll pick your BG to get shields" backfires on them. And you profit.

The added yellow guns enables a more stable damage output for less resources. You don´t need to It's a Trap! opponents to speed out that Launch bay. Just overwrite blaster pistols with 3 cost guns and then Rearm it back.

Playstyle

Play economically and keep claiming. The deck is cheap and has massive bursts of damage, thus doesn´t need a gazillion upgrades out. About three guns with a red on Leia is enough to make It's a Trap count while mum turns dice sides to big hits. Not to mention how good All In is with a 2 char. Often a DH-17, a Holdout and a Jetpack is about what I buy in a game (only 5 ), spending the rest on mitigating because there´s so many ways to flip up damage.

You talk about playing Launch Bay I don't see it in the list. You play with one copy or two?

Scactha 888

I mean that the deck which inspired this uses it.

It's funny that this deck feels better than eAckbar/eLeia, despite Ackbar being a better character to pair with Leia for It's a trap shenanigans. Once red heroes have a larger pool of cards, I could see Ackbar/Leia being the better deck, but for now this is definitely one I want to try.

Scactha 888

Padme is a concession indeed. I´d say that it´s the Hero events cards that makes it work as available Rebel guns are simply to costly or quirky.

My wishlist from SoR is: red 2 rifle, yellow pistol and 2 fighty yellow char for <15 pts. Lukas, you reading this? :)

Hi @Scactha, what about Second Chance? I played deck couple times and I think it was lacking it

Scactha 888

Sure thing. Dropping a DL-44 for a single Second Chance could create a Gotcha moment when you keep loading up Padme, they focus on her, just for you to overwrite a e.g. Jet Pack into SC. Seems worth testing.

Do you ever try to work in Dug in or Field Medic? If so, what do you take out?

Scactha 888

There is some need for "healing" in the deck indeed. Pressed to the question I´d prefer Dug in as it´s the biggest for the buck card and the deck is wants to end things asap. I think Disarm since Padme doesn´t help there, making it struggle to get played at times.
