R2-D2 – Geektopia Games

R2-D2

Minor(s): C-3P0

To fill out the complete set of characters, we have adopted the unedited R2-D2 & C-3P0 deck by Mike Maloney  for occasional Geektopia play.  We tinkered with our own version but in GenCon 2012, Roman and Cagey were defeated by a team using this as one of their two decks, and Cagey finally believed a deck without an A8 could succeed.  It’s a Tier 3 deck, at least in Geektopia, but it can help a teammate win.

This isn’t a deck we’ll break out a whole lot but if you want to represent R2-D2 in Epic Duels, Mike’s is pretty much how you would do it and we do play it once in a while.  It’s a great design.

It’s included in the Geektopia Vassal set so that you can easily mix with the other decks.  It’s Vash’s R2-D2 deck, just worse-looking, but convenient.

What does this deck do:  Just enough to frustrate an opponent, control the board, and aid a teammate while doing a great job of representing the droids.

    What’s your interpretation on the wording of Weapon Compartment’s “take any combat card” phrasing? Does it apply only to basic combat cards, or can you retrieve a power combat card and put it in an allies hand?
