Minor(s): Grogu

This started with a deck for Unmatched by Geektopia fan Matt W, and I ended up overriding a Mando & IG-11 deck I had been building with some ideas from the Unmatched deck.

What does this deck do:  Defends very well for a shooter, and “collects bounties” for playing the right attacks in the right order.

The Mandalorian & Grogu

Mando
16 HP
Ranged
Yellow+ Deck

Grogu
8 HP
Melee
“Strong–” ranged minor deck (“Strong minus minus;” 2x A3D1 replaces 2x A4D1 for 4x A3D1, and melee for The Child)

The Mandalorian – 8 cards

3x I CAN BRING YOU IN WARM
A4.  If this attack is defended, draw 2 cards.

2x OR I CAN BRING YOU IN COLD
A6.  If you destroy the defending character, draw 3 cards.

1x THIS IS THE WAY
A9.  Move the Mandalorian up to 8 spaces.

2x BESKAR ARMOR
D5*.  If The Child is alive, draw a card.
*If you already have a BESKAR ARMOR in your draw pile, the defense value is 10.

1x WHISTLING BIRDS
The Mandalorian does 3 damage to all adjacent major characters and 6 damage to all adjacent minor characters.

Grogu – 3 cards

2x FORCE POWERS
A4/D4.  If used as an attack, the player controlling the defending character loses an action on his next turn.

1x FORCE HEAL
The Child moves up to 4 spaces.  Then the Child recovers 4 damage, or choose a character adjacent to the Child to recover 4 damage.

The links to this deck are at the bottom of the page.

There is also a version of the deck for Unmatched.

Notes:

• As of 2022, I think this version is fun and balanced, but dated, and recommend the 20YA version designed by CRFR with my contributions.  The long and the short of it is that I didn’t think the community had a Mando deck worthy of the 20YA.  CRFR responded to the challenge, and I poured my creative energy into that one, much as I had done with Palamon’s Cad Bane in the 10YA Set, 10 years earlier.
• This deck is still here if you want to use a Mando without a Dark Saber. I even updated “The Child” to “Grogu” and updated its Vassal X-Y position.

Vassal X-Y:  700, 2650, a spot held by Freedon Nadd for a while, part of the late 2022 X-Y shakeup.
