Yeah, we have the Imperial Officer and 4 Storm Troopers deck, have you played it? It’s a laugh, but we only play it once in a while. 5 shooters barely works, I think 5 melee types would be extremely clunky, and would be a better fit for weaker characters than the PGs.

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t seen this deck a whole lot and it was intended to be weak, and it definitely has played weak, but it was also intended to be at about the level of the Tier 3B bounty hunter decks. 4-LOM and IG-88 each have have 14 HP and their minors have 10 and 11 HP, respectively. If Baze is 10 HP, Chirrut probably needs at least 14 HP to be on their level, maybe 15. I’ll adjust to 15 and see how that goes, if he’s a little better than IG-88 and 4-LOM, that’s ok, as long as they’re still Tier 3B. You can play him with 16 HP if you want, but that’s stronger than I want him to be.

I think Snoke looks strong enough to do most of the dueling on his own. Whatever his minors are, I wouldn’t want them to have any talent cards, but I’ll consider your idea if nothing else comes together for him.

Reads like you’d play a 3-Praetorian Guard deck.

I’m trying to think of a mechanic that would reflect Hux’s character in TLJ; an easily tricked and bullied buffoon who is a threat by merit of the gargantuan firepower at his beck and call and nothing else. (He acts as *something* of a voice of reason in the final battle, but that’s mostly just because of Kylo’s raging obsession with destroying the Falcon and Luke interfering so heavily with the battle plan; Hux may have more tactical smarts than Kylo, but that’s not saying much in the first place *and* Kylo just chokes him into submission whenever he tries to go against Kylo’s command with anything more than a suggestion.)

I’m struggling to think of something, however. Maybe it will come to me in time, but I’ll likely much sooner be putting out decks for Finn/Rose, Poe/BB-8, Kylo and assorted weirdos from other Canon/Legends material than I will be putting out anything for Hux, so… I suppose that’ll be something for other people to take a crack if they care.

I’ll definitely have to concur on this being the least Duels-friendly movie thus far; only one new character was introduced who really inspires card ideas (Rose, who has several moments that could translate fairly well into cards for a Finn/Rose deck), and many of the returning characters prove, well, less than epic (deliberately so). It makes for a good, interesting movie, in my opinion, but not much that would directly translate into a game about people engaging in Epic Duels (besides the incredible throne room fight, which might be my new favorite Star Wars fight, especially if we’re only taking the movies into account; Finn vs Phasma was cool too, but real short, and Kylo vs Luke wasn’t *really* a fight, in spite of great it was).

I do hope someone makes good maps for Snoke’s Throne Room and Crait (and maybe Canto Bight) soon.

Hey good point, I forgot about that moment. Nonetheless, we have lightning in the Palpatine, Sidious and Dooku decks, and I think we need something more original for this deck. Any ideas? I was going to base it off the Saruman deck but ended up going in a different direction with it.

Nice catch. That’s actually the assume “Melee Minor” deck in Deck Designer, I do believe that’s an old version of the Melee Minor before Minor Blue basically became the standard. I’ll fix that up in the next draft, as I’m sure this version isn’t final.

Nothing to feel bad about! I put the question to the Yahoo group and they wanted Smaug. Plus, his inclusion allowed the inclusion of Tauriel, who was worth including, at least from a movie perspective. Besides, who knows if a Giants set will ever come to fruition? If not, at least we have a Smaug.

Hi Luke! Thanks for your interest. Happy to talk Epic Duels any time. Which decks are your favorites?

(To be clear, I’m not suggesting that you add my Sauron deck to the set; it’s more for my own purposes than anything else, though I do want to make it fit in the set power-wise while not making it impossible to beat. It’s also gonna be pretty gimmicky, probably not something you’d want to break out every single game.)

Cool! It is a fun and unique deck. She’s had some great games.

Interesting question, can’t say I’ve seen that happen. The Bultar player almost always puts one token on a relatively safe spot away from the action. I’d almost have to write two more sentences into the card to cover such a case: Maybe once 2 spots get occupied, nobody may occupy the third spot? I think that would be best. If you allow “adjacent to,” one of the tokens, she could teleport to some 27 different spaces on the board.

Hi Jeff! Thanks for your interest. I’ve found it to be a solid deck that feels like Jyn.

We’ve reached a point in time where even Star Wars Minis have become a challenge to come by. I had to hit up a friend of a friend. But if you can find them, the “Old Republic Recruit” makes a great Jyn, and was considered a “Common” figure so shouldn’t cost much. Commandos are easy enough to find as well.

Thanks for the note, sorry I missed it until now, but I did update the Shaak Ti .pdf and I think whatever issue has been resolved. I’m not sure what happened there, the .PDF looked fine prior to upload but something about that process smudged it. Hope that didn’t deter too many people because this is a really good deck, one we play a lot and always have fun with, sort of a classic tough Jedi deck.

I would call that any card with an attack or defense value.

Thanks and oops! Should be all set. Let me know if you actually use these and if you have any feedback.

I feel like he plays a tad on the strong side, what do you think? Do you see him lose often enough?

We like it but the 10YA Lando deck is probably more fun, so is our Lando & Han deck.

Thanks! Nice to hear one of the weaker decks is a lot of fun. I agree. As mentioned above, he typically gets killed in a hurry but he’s also had some epic games among our group, which is kind of the perfect bounty hunter deck.

Thanks! Kind of like with Plo Koon, she’s a stronger deck, which is part of what makes her fun. This particular strong deck has some great tricks though.

Yeah, I get the same feeling from the few times I’ve seen him. The combos are what make him strong, but they’re also what make him fun, so I don’t want to take those away.

I actually think just switching out his minors for weak ones would go a long way towards making him the appropriate power level. I could just give some battle droids or something.
