Want to have 30 total health, the ability to resurrect your characters, and the ability to deal massive amounts of damage in a single turn? This deck may be the one for you then!

Essentially, you want to get your Aftermaths to assist with resource generation - not only for when you get kills, but for when your opponent does as well. Your guys will die, and that's ok! Between two Endless Ranks and 2 Cheat, your troopers and pilots don't know how to stay down ,and since every weapon in the deck redeploys, no weapon goes to waste.

The primary strength of the deck is resiliency, as noted above, and with the protect Tie Pilot gives your dice. However, it can also pull off massive swing turns using We Have Them Now, with or without Lockdown - though you will often need to use Lockdown because with four characters to activate separately, you're not the fastest deck in the world. (which is also the reason for no vehicles that some other people run in these types of decks - we are taking enough actions already). Of course, Wingman and Squad Tactics definitely help with this issue!

Training is a no brainer with 3 different targets to give you extra dice - though typically Tie Pilot is the priority so his dice will protect each other. While unfortunately Training won't come back after you have to bring someone back with Endless Ranks, the damage should be done by then.

The primary weakness of the deck are a lot of poor dice sides and having to start off slow prior to getting Wingman or when you don't have Squad Tactics available. Additionally, outside of Aftermath there are few ways to get resources - however, your battlefield can offset some of this, as can the distribution of low cost cards in the deck.

Still, the deck is fun and competitive to play (assuming you don't roll with accuracy typical of Stormtroopers), and your opponent will not appreciate the endless waves of Imperial troops you send at him or her!

"...assuming you don't roll with accuracy typical of Stormtroopers" - a good one.

BTW, you might want to get Bait and Switch in the deck. Isn't the We Have Them Now a bit expensive?

Not sure on Bait and Switch My understanding is it can only be used on an actual resource generation side, not a modifier. Assuming that is correct, you have at best a 1/6 chance per die of ever rolling a resource, so I don't know that it would be consistent enough. As to We have them now, it absolutely expensive but also absolutely worth it. It is your get out of bad rolls free card. However, I could see experimenting without it - in which case you'd also cut the lockdowns.

@Moophisto, it also works on + sides, the same way Suppression works on + as well as .
