Rebels without a cause - Jyn / Ezra (with guide) 1.0

• Versions

Introduction

Who doesn´t love the indomitable Jyn and wants to re-enact that brash door kicking bravado that screams "I´m a rebel!" This deck is -all- about that.

Jyn / Ezra is about tempo, thievery, messing with the opponents dice and getting value out of the cost reduction ability.

Strategy

The deck wants to harass the opponent by playing a barrage of annoying and damaging yellow events on the cheap, preferably by Infamous, and using Running Interference to break their tempo. No one is better than the reckless Jyn in gushing forth a steady stream of Threatens, Double-Crosses and Let The Wookiee Win to force the opponent into awkward choices. Take damage or lose dice? (The big aim is to first Infamously Threaten them and then Double-Cross! 'Aw, did you fall for that?') And, as she´s the mistress of Rebel the events aren´t even gone when they´re gone.

What better sidekick could Jyn have than the rascal Ezra? A constant headache to his Jedi Master Kanan and the rest of the Ghost crew.

When the opponent is busy fending off Jyn Ezra steals them blind. They´re a team where she draws the attention and the kid does his thing. Amusingly enough does Ezra pack almost as much of a punch as Jyn, but don´t let on. Put upgrades and draw attention to Jyn, but save a Second Chance for when she´s on the ropes.

When the imperials thought they cornered them, they just hit back even harder.

Never Tell Me The Odds and Bad Feeling are the finishers. Either Infamous them to disable any chances of reacting or exhaust RI to stop them from controlling the dice. Notice that BF hits the opponents dice too, thus being a 2-in-1 of sorts.

Playwise

Mull for an Infamous or RI, at least one upgrade and control card. Roll out Ezra first to create a threat. He´s an enabler over damage dealer.

Better claim over resolving that odd resource or discard. The deck is midrange and wants to react and then start to throw spanners in their works.
