Looking for advice on this deck for a store championship this weekend. I feel like some of these are obvious staples but there are some that could probably be cut or increased to a 2-of. I mainly play against my brother's Palpatine deck but I want this deck to be able to be competitive against Poe / Maz, Palpatine, Kylo / Baby Vader, and other Vader / Raider decks as those seem to be the meta at the moment.

I'm kind of looking to make it a quick strike deck which is why I only run one Backup Muscle but from what I've read, most people seem to think that is a definite 2-of. I also see a lot of lists not running Kylo Ren's Lightsaber and Use The Force.

The reason for so much dice control is, like I said earlier, I play primarily against my brother's Palpatine deck and we all know what can of hell Papa Palpatine can rain down if his dice aren't controlled.

Any advice is welcome and most appreciated. Also any questions you may have, I'll answer as soon as I can.

@razor089 I think you should try Darth Vader - Sith Lord Royal Guard as the guardian on it helps control Palpatine dice. Force push is good to and also helps control dice.

@greenhulkI've actually tried that combination and I'm more successful against Palpatine with Vader Raider. I think Yellow just adds better cards to the pool than Royal Guard adds to the gameplan. I don't like Force Push because of the ranged damage sides and I'm already limited on my "control" upgrade slots. I appreciate your input, though.
