    Do you possibly have any of these decks saved? The links are broken and I miss these decks, especially Thrawn and Xizor. =[

      I uploaded it here as a backup. Thrawn and Xizor are both good decks, though I think Xizor should have a Yellow Basic Deck instead of Orange.

  • From Darth Wolverine on Kit Fisto

    So, I don’t know what your VASSAL deck looks like (I’ve never had much success getting it to work), but I think, looking at this deck is that it’s good, unique idea doesn’t crop up enough to be useful. I think you should make him more of a resource denial deck.

    Nautolean Insight should be his bread and butter card, a times 3, maybe a times four. Something like:

    “A5 The opponent must reveal a card (or maybe 2) at random, this card remains face up and may not be chosen to discard from the effect of a card.”

    I’ve been tinkering with a similar design for a Sinestro deck on a DC Epic Duels project, and think this might be what Kit Fisto needs.

    So, my thinking is:

    3x NAUTOLEAN INSIGHT
    A5 The opponent chooses a card two cards at random. These cards stay face up and may not be chosen for discard due to the effects of a card.

    3x SHII-CHO STRIKE
    A4 The opponent must choose and discard a card.

    2x INSIGHTFUL ATTACK
    A4 Add 1 to the attack value of this card for each face up card in the opponent’s hand.

    2x LOCKDOWN
    Until the start of Kit Fisto’s next turn, no player may play face up cards.

    1x INCEPTION
    Place this card in an opponent’s hand. This card is face up and counts as two cards. The opponent may use an action to discard this card and another card.

    1x MEMORY WIPE
    Choose an opponent to choose and discard 3 cards.

    It’s low on draw power and defense but it’s definitely different from anything I’ve seen on your site. The INCEPTION card is based on a Mike Maloney mechanic for his Palpatine deck and seems to fit this theme really well.

    • From roman on Kit Fisto

      Thanks, some interesting ideas there for a deck that we’ve just never gotten to work. I think you’ve got enough there to do your own Fisto deck, go for it!

      As for ours, I’m not sure why but the 3x A7s never seem to be enough offense, and I’ve learned over time that if you’re going to rely upon a combo like NAUTOLEAN INSIGHT-INSIGHTFUL ATTACK, you can’t just have 3 total cards and expect it to come up very frequently. Emperor Palpatine, by contrast, doesn’t RELY upon his YWD-MEDITATION combo. Obviously they combo well, but they’re also great cards on their own, and Fisto’s are not.

      Anyways, I don’t know that card-denial fits Fisto very well as a character. He’s more a bad ass duelist than anything BUT if we’re going to go with NAUTOLEAN INSIGHT as is (or your version) then it’s a card denial card of sorts, and the concept should probably be built upon. I’ll consider your ideas for this deck but I think my group would rather take it in another direction entirely, hence I’m suggesting you do your own.

        Yeah I might throw it on the Epic Duels forum at some point. Like I said, I’ve been busy working on a DC project. I have something like 50 decks (many are adapted from the Star Wars ones but different enough to be “new”), but I’ve been meaning to get back into the ED forums.

        Thanks for all the hard work you guys do.

  • From Darth Wolverine on Qui-Gon Jinn

    I feel like the effect of Qui-Gon’s Gamble, while useful for moving Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon across the board, is a cool unique effect that’s wasted in this deck. Especially since STANDOFF and JEDI JUMP already make them very mobile already. I think you could build a deck around that whole mechanic (I know both Lando decks use the die in interesting ways.) Just my two cents though.

    • From roman on Qui-Gon Jinn

      Yeah the Lando-Han deck is our dice-rolling deck, and one of our guys absolutely hates it for that reason. So, we probably won’t do more of those.

      QUI-GON’S GAMBLE was a strange case where the deck was kinda done but we had a remaining slot for a card. It was an attack card for a while but the deck seemed slightly overpowered with it, so we went with this fairly weak (and to your point, redundant) card, which at least emulates Qui-Gon’s actions in the movie.

    Do y’all have a dryden vos deck on the way?

    • From roman on Epic Duels

      Hi tmag, thanks for your interest.

      Not likely we’ll come up with a Dryden Vos deck. I’m not even seeing that much interest in Enfys Nest and Tobias Beckett.

      If you’re interested in Dryden Vos, why not come up with your own? He definitely duels and could be made into a deck. Go to the Wiki and post some ideas and I’ll help you.

    This is really cool and well done. In lieu of spending hours reading all the material at the forums on this subject this is a pretty good substitute and hopefully becomes the starting point for future deck makers.

    • From roman on Epic Duels

      Hi Zubb, thanks for your interest.

      Please be specific about which figures you’re looking for, because there are different answers. Start by looking at the individual pages, such as the Kylo Ren page, and you’ll see what figures I’m using. If the answer isn’t there, that’s the best place to ask.

      Anyhoo, for Beckett and Enfys Nest, I don’t have any ideas right now. You might see what kind of merchandise Disney is making available. You probably won’t get Epic Duels scale figures but as long as they fit on the board, they’ll work. You can let me know if you find anything!

      For Kylo Ren, I would see if you can find a Star Wars Monopoly that came out after The Force Awakens. I bought it new for $20 or $25 so used, it should be even less. You’ll get figures for Kylo Ren and Finn. Rey and Poe can be covered by Leia Bounty Hunter and a Rebel Pilot, respectively.

      Anyone pre-Disney probably has one or more Star Wars minis that will work for it. Even minis are getting harder and harder to find…

  • From JAG18 on Greedo

    I don’t know how much you care about stuff like this, but in the new canon it’s official that Greedo hired Ponda and Evazan to help him confront Han. Of course, things didn’t go according to plan and Greedo had to go up against Han alone with less than stellar results…

    • From roman on Greedo

      Oh cool, well, I’m always interested in stuff that strengthens my case for doing a deck a certain way 🙂

      The group not doing well vs. Han fits this deck pretty well.

  • From Parker Haskin on Gollum

    I made a Gollum/Smeagol deck that I really liked. It involved a card that allowed you to pick the personality that you wanted. In doing so, you had to discard the specials and power cards of the personality you gave up, but keep all their basics and gain health points. If you didn’t choose then it made it easy to destroy both personalities if you played against it. Gollum was doing more damage and Smeagol was more utility but the increase in damage from Gollum’s basic deck made it worth taking Smeagol and being able to keep Gollum’s power combat cards and specials plus adding Smeagol’s health made taking Gollum worth it as well.

  • From Parker Haskin on Sauron the Dark Lord

    I’ve tried making a Sauron deck and I used him as the only character. I included the One Ring as well but it exists without any HP and only has Normal Specials to play so it continues after Sauron’s physical form is destroyed. It doesn’t do damage so if it were the only thing left then the other team would be able to claim victory. Just my two cents. I love all of these decks on here and I discovered them after making about a dozen of my own LOTR decks lol but great alterations came of my discovery so thanks so much.

    • From roman on Sauron the Dark Lord

      Hi Parker, thanks for your interest. We’d love to see your LOTR decks! You should upload them to the Wiki and I’ll create a section for them.

      There’s a LOTR board game, I think it’s called the Lord of the Rings board game, where each player controls a hobbit, and you play cooperatively to defeat Sauron. The game comes with an Eye in the Tower piece that I’d love to see a deck for. Perhaps you could convert your ideas to fit Sauron as an Eye, where this version is intended to be the Sauron from the very start of the FOTR movie.
