Epro 572

Been testing out a way to take out those pesky Kanan Jarrus - Rebel Jedi decks. Best idea I could come up with was to blast aggro with Aurra Sing - Deadly Shot.

Ciena Ree - Adept Pilot was the partner I decided on because I wanted to have a decent amount of backup once Aurra inevitably goes down. My goal for turn 1 if I get to start with Weapons Factory Alpha - Cymoon 1 out and play AT-DP/Z-95 Headhunter/First Order TIE Fighter. The specials on the red villian vehicles are helpful in dealing with all the shields and dumb supports (C-3PO, Salvage Stand, Luke's Protection, Funeral Pyre come to mind) running around these days.

The nerf bat missed Salvage Stand which is good news for this deck. I want to get this in starting hand for sure. Resource control helps keep the opponent's dice control and upgrades in check. Both characters' dice have disrupt and resources so the synergy's there.

With Poe Dameron - Ace Pilot taking a hit, people have been getting more intrepid with 3 and even 4 character decks. This actually makes Bounty Postings a reasonable option for reloading your hand. Obviously better to mulligan/ditch to reroll with it against 2 character decks.

X-8 Night Sniper is the best upgrade to go for if you don't anticipate winning the battlefield. The higher than average resource generation in the deck helps to abuse X-8's action.

Throw upgrades on Ciena Ree - Adept Pilot 99% of the time. Use her ability judiciously. There's definitely some luck to winning because you have to roll or at least reroll decently but the character dice are reroll-friendly for a later Salvage Stand trigger or heavy damage. Bait and Switch remains a strong aggro finisher.

I still have some testing to do but the vehicle and resource choking substrategies in the deck seem well equipped to handle the current blue-heavy, shield-heavy meta.
