So I have been trying this out after I could no longer play with Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice and Captain Phasma - Elite Trooper.

The idea I had was everyone is talking about how Kylo is dead for now afer the last FAQ so thinking I would make something for Kylo as mono decks may come back.

Its nice and easy. From playing with it I have found that the deck plays fast and i claim 9 times out of 10 and its good for money too.

For this to work and hit hard you need to get Electrostaff early! and if you can next turn Tactical Mastery hits them so hard after a roll. with Electrostaff you need to stick it on Griecous and it pays for hit 3 side. This will also make people think if they want to hit Kylo first or not.

Let kylo do his things and I put a Feint in the deck to let you do it 2 times in one turn. I had 2 in but changed one for Intimidate as i was seeing loads of shield. Intimidate Unyielding and Vibroknife helps with what could be the new shield meta.

The rest of the deck is about dice removel or rerolls for cheap. Or The Best Defense... helps take some heat off Kylo as people always go for him as they prob should. Ancient Lightsaber and the battlefield, I seem to claim a lot so is about keeping you alive a bit longer but use it then burn it then claim.

Would love to know what everyone things about the idea or how i could make it better.

Thanks.

I've been planning a deck like this for a while. Still testing, but glad to see we're pretty much on the same wavelength.

Looks pretty good. I'd say 2x Crossguard Lightsaber and a single Kylo Ren's Lightsaber, since now with the resurgence of shields, it hits like a truck (free second roll? Yes please).

Probably pull a Manipulate, definitely Your Skills Are Complete because that card is trash and maybe a single The Best Defense... since anyone who knows how to play will focus fire General Grievous - Jedi Hunter because of his relatively low health pool and insanely strong ability

been playing something similar, albeit extremely "budget" so subbing out ancients for shotos and vibros for crossguards

the errata seems to have popularized shields a lot, and while Shotos still aren't Vibros they still help a lot both offensively and defensively

I play another version of Grevious/Kylo. I would suggest looking into adding Imperial HQ, it comes in handy when you roll those pay sides and don't have Electrostaff or resources. My other through is to add a redeploy weapon, Z6 Riot Control Baton or Lightsaber. I found in games where I was able to steal a weapon Grevious would be dead before it became useful.

Really loving Electrostaff, it makes a ton of sense in a deck with 3 pay sides on your character dice. As @nightwind7585suggested, I would also push for Imperial HQ. Getting that on a turn will give you the option to still play paid mitigation and then you will most likely resolve it every round moving forward.

Unyielding could be really sneaky too, especially with the new buffs. Good call on that one. How often do you find yourself playing it? I guess the ideal scenario is Kylo's free 2 + Ancient Lightsaber's +3. I feel like it could be limiting as it is blue die only.

My biggest question is in regard to the battlefield. What are you recurring that you need it so bad? Ancient Lightsaber is going on the bottom of your deck, so it can't be that. If you are claiming so frequently, as you mentioned, perhaps something more aggressive to keep the pressure or even Otoh Gunga to keep everyone alive.

If you claim 9 out of 10 can you explain your battlefield choice?

when you use Ancient Lightsaber it goes on the bottom of your deck and not discard pile . . . .from what you wrote it seems you are discarding it and using battlefield to claim it

Sorry this has taken me so long to reply to the hive mind helping me with this. real life gets in the way sometimes.

So....... @Dave Sharona Yes I agree with the Crossguard Lightsaber and also i guess it can give you a cheeky little exta hit if you play it replacing one already down on Kylo. The Kylo Ren's Lightsaber i didnt even think of and that could hand out some real hurt. I will be trying it in V3 build.I personally like Manipulate as i use it when I'm about to discard to re-roll as I was going to re-roll anyway i might as well but yes if i need space it could go. Your Skills Are Complete is a wast of space for this. never used it so its going. i agree with The Best Defense... but worry about hitting it when i need it. with 2 that helps, i'll give it a go. With my local meta mono decks have come back so people always go for Kylo so it helps me keep him alive.

@nightwind7585 yes i didn't think about Imperial HQ that could be a way to go. it will help me not needing to get shot of good cards opening hand to look for Electroshock.

@joemasilotti Unyielding i have found myself playing this 2 in 5 games. the other time i havent is because no shields are on the table so no point or Kylo id dead when it comes out and no blue die left to use it on. With the weapons buff I'm looking at doing it may have more use as the deck will have more blue die to use. I'm going to keep it and try it a little more. the face of the player the other side of you when they have a 3 health Qui-Gon Jinn - Ataru Master with 3 shields and you have 3 damage on the table to kill this from out the blue is a picture.

@joemasilotti @Bigulf @Jobu Battlefield was my bad i didn't mean it for Ancient Lightsaber but for Force Illusion. it works a few times but not sure if its really worth it. I was looking at Secluded Beach - Scarif it will not hurt me and could help when claiming early. I was thinking about Medical Center - Kaliida Shoals but then i heal and need to hand over the battle field. or B'Omarr Monastery - Teth could help as if I only have General Grievous - Jedi Hunter left and they make me discard his die i cant then deal any damage with the die showing +. My new favorite that I may try is Main Plaza - Vashka with how quick i claim i can heal and pass the damage on next turn.

I'll make some changes with some suggestions and let you know how it get on. Thanks for the help.
