Bringing back into the meta. Cad brings abuse of the action economy to an entirely new level with his unique ability. The new Captain Phasma is very cheaply costed for her consistent damage output and can easily clean up any remaining characters once the Cad power-house is taken out.

Game plan is quite simple. Pop any one of your 2-cost weapons with Ambush (X-8 Night Sniper, Holdout Blaster, and LL-30 Blaster Pistol)onto Cad, using his unique action to activate him as well. Take your Ambush action to either resolve those sweet rolls, activate Phasma as well, or (if you've got the extra resource) engage in further action economy shenanigans with a Tactical Mastery.

Little explanation on the supports chosen. Backup Muscle is almost always an auto-include for Villain decks with Yellow, as it provides 3 damage that ignores shields, but remains versatile enough to help you out of that sticky situation of spending a die showing some hefty damage when you only need 1-2. Imperial HQ is a wise investment in this deck, as over the course of the game it can save you 2-3 resources that you may run into trouble trying to find normally.

The rest of the cards are pretty self-explanatory. Rocket Launcher, Relby-V10 Mortar Gun, and Captain Phasma's Blaster are decent upgrades from whatever 2-cost upgrade already in play, while DH-17 Blaster Pistol is a passable place-holder when we happen to draw nothing better to be played. Doubt, Electroshock, and He Doesn't Like You are a decent mitigation suite, with a semi-mitigation Unpredictable as an emergency backup. Bait and Switch meshes with both character dice and half the guns to provide surprising lethal damage. Truce provides the resource you're missing and still lets you make the play before your opponent could react.

I'm looking forward to running this list for quite a while, and will probably make edits necessary for my local meta.
