So This deck came in to my mind after pulling the first Hondo out of the booster. Later i saw that people playing this deck for fast claim with planetary uprising. I am asking why? There are plenty of quite as fast decks as it. It's not guarantee that u will claim the Bf. After many tests I finally manage to get what I want out of this deck. Now cards choice explain :

C-3PO - the most important card in game. It gives you 6 specials on any of ur character die.

Honor Guard - removal and combo with Docking Bay - Finalizer

Fast Hands and Second Chance - I think it's obvious

Poe Dameron's Blaster - such a great card for Poe

Double-Dealing - crucial late game card allowing you to make great combos

Now cards I don't see in other decks

Y-Wing - GREAT CARD. combo with poe secials and making ur opponent a headache cuz if he lose resources Hondo will crush their faces

Diversion Amazing open hand card. Using it in the first round of game against aggro decks like Obi-Maz is really hurting. They are unable to play shoto or any of their upgrades if they activate maz her specials will not turn obi's dices.

Partnership oh yea sweet partnership. Nobody expects that card here. I can't count times that this card saved me or change a game for me. Just imagine having a Double-Dealing in game with C-3PO , Y-Wing or even Poe Dameron's Blaster parthership to activate poe with blaster with c-3po or y-wing and poe or even hondo with c-3po. It's all depending on situation. Many times I used combo like partnership with hondo and one of my supports. then Hit and Run on Poe getting a resource from double dealing and there it comes --- > All In with poe specials hondo disrupts or poe focus this card just blow up the enemy.

And finally : BD-1 Cutter Vibro-AX Oh god. This card is essential for current shield meta. I know that mixed dmg slow up the deck but this card helps me a lot of time. I was playing against yoda/qui-gon and i was struggling so hard. Then on the second tournament i was able to pull out this bad boy and litteraly dominate the game. Also this cards helps me with any Obi Wan decks and I think it is also unexpected by ur opponent.

Summary : I played about 12 local tournaments with it. Won two of them. Rest was always second or third place always with 1 loss after a close game or by mistake made by me. What I am proud of that on 5 games on Rainbow 5's I have lost just once. I am taking this deck to the regional tournament i my country and I will write up the report from it. Enjoy

Play cunning, is just so good, you just need poe blaster and cunnings to stack as much as 3 dmge specials you can

`@Ponso cunning is good but i dont think it is neccesery. it's yelow character only for 2 resources and for me it's still no room for that. In my deck it's not worth on playing that out.

I think Easy Pickings would be a good inclusion, at least as 1-of. Maybe a straight up replacement for 1x Electroshock.

Capricorn06 185

@krez I think that;s a great idea but I don't have any indeed. Also i think everyone can modify a mitigation in this deck for it;s own playstyle and goal. I testet Block and Dodge aswell. Sometimes u want to have Block on hand sometimes Electroshock but u cant have all xD

Is Honda reliable? I mean, it looks good, but my neighbour had one and there were always problems with it. Especially in winter, never seem to start in cold weather. Plus, is it family friendly car? I don't have one, but it's still a valid question.

@LysyPingwin I don't know either. I have Golf IV and it works pretty well. If u are not sure bout it u can also try different model like Civic or sth...

The Honor Guard / Docking Bay - Finalizer combo is great but have you been able to do it often? Would you prefer Emperor's Throne Room - Death Star II instead or have you had no problem getting those specials launched?

Capricorn06 185

@AlreadyPicked Right. That's a good question. The first thing is that u have hard time winning the battlefield with 3 x 0 on Hondo and 2 x 0 on Poe. When I finally manage to win the bf choose I often choose mine. Emperor's Throne Room - Death Star II isn't good here. I tested it once. As u see I dont play many weapons. I just don't want to lose poe dice to focus another dice. More dices us have then Poe is less effective.What about Honor Guard it all depends. Sometimes I am doing some crazy things with Partnership or All In claiming super fast. sometimes i manage to ruin opponent turn then for example i did 6 dmg to him he did a lot less to me and he has nothing to do more. I still has some dices but ist not worth to let him claim cuz he has one resource left wih one Diversion in my hand and one on grave. (I know but it happens a lot indeed). Then its better to get ur Honor Guard back and play Diversion at star of the next round. It's just situational. I don't rely on that combo as much.

@AlreadyPicked I forgot to mention why Emperor's Throne Room - Death Star II is worse option that Docking Bay - Finalizer. The deck is slower (ofc without some speed ups) than the version with weapons from Portland. There are many faster decks. Just imagine playing on Emperor's Throne Room - Death Star II against Boba Fett - Deadly Mercenary or Emo kids with Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice
