Shield or Damage Hero Deck 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

This deck focuses on one of shields or damage. For this reason, many cards that allow you to choose one of the two were included. Other cards with shields, damage, or damaging dice were included as well.

The battlefield Imperial Armory was chosen because it works very well with Padawan and many of the upgrades used are very expensive. Padawan was chosen because they have a useful die for the deck and their ability allows for cheaper weapons like Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber.

Han Solo's ability is only triggered by Daring Escape and Holdout Blaster but he is still a useful card here. His die is effective because it has 2 range damage sides as well as 2 resource sides.

Diplomatic Immunity, Jedi Robes, Defensive Stance, and Take Cover were added because they add shields to your characters. These characters have relatively low health and need to be protected. Also if you have endless shields on your characters, your opponent runs out of cards very quickly.

Holdout Blaster, Lightsaber, Let The Wookie Win, and Willpower were added because they deal a lot of damage and allow you to kill your opponents cards.

Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber was added because it allows you to chose between shield or damage for that turn.

One with The Force was chosen because it becomes a support if the character it attached to dies (so it can't leave the battle). This card has a very good die with no blanks.

Riposte was used because with all of these shields on a character you can easily remove a lot of them to deal damage to your opponent.

Daring Escape and Disturbance in the Force were used to mess with your opponents game play. I always like to add at least some of these in case your opponent rolls a very good dice pool. Daring Escape also activates Han Solo's ability.

Finally, It Binds All Things was chosen because it works with the Padawan and Imperial Armory abilities. if you are able to use all of these at once (i.e. play a blue upgrade weapon on a padawan) then a LukeSkywalker's Lightsaber or a Lightsaber would be free. I have also included Hyperspace Jump so that if opponent choses their battlefield you can still do this.

This should be a very strong and sturdy deck. It has very few shortcomings aside from Han Solo's ability not being very well utilized. Other than that, the deck should have a good amount of defense and attack as well as some dice manipulation. You also are not particularly worried about what the die display at any time because you are mainly focused on other abilities and there are lots of events. You also do not need very much as far as resources because Imperial Armory, Padawan, and It Binds All Things will take care of your high cost cards.
