Welcome to another budget deck from the Knights of Ren team. This is a near and dear list to my heart as a mill player (Sugi). So I had to sit and think about what character could replace Yoda since he is running between $50-60 right now.

Now I am NOT saying this deck is a prefect swap but I do feel it has enough tricks to keep the opponent guessing what could possibly happen. So the main issue was replacing Yoda. At first i looked at blue characters with 10 points or less than 10 points and an amazing die (Aayla). And it kept coming back to Kanan as one of the best utility characters outside of Yoda. He has 10 HP so the team retains the same HP pool. He has focus and relevant die symbols AND values (for chance cube). But most of all he has that effect that can catch players really off guard. Kanan can really impact the pace of the game if you are able to use his effect well and push the deck as far as it can go. Being able to make 1 resource and then activate Bespin Wing Guard, focus a Chance Cube to the 3 resource side and then use C-3PO to discard 3 cards from the opponent's hand or even disrupt the opponent and then play a card. Kanan offers a LOT of sneaky plays and methods to accomplish your goals while keeping your opponent in the dark. So I feel he is a decent replacement especially for his cost in real money ($1.99).

The rest of the list is almost the same from most regional level decks. Obviously the Easy Pickings and Entangle aren't on here because they cost $6 and $5 respectively. If you like this list and want to add them in, go for it. That will push the deck over the $50 limit but I don't feel that is a massive price increase to this budget deck.

Most of the strong lines of play involve using General Rieekan - Defensive Mastermind to mill the top of the deck, the Jedha Partisan to resolve indirect to mill as well. Use Kanan to make resources, disrupt resources or focus into shields on General Rieekan - Defensive Mastermind and keep those defenses strong. Sitting on 2 melee ins't bad with a early game C-3PO and no Chance Cube.

You lose the extra 1 mill and focus from Yoda but try out Kanan and see how well it works for a deck under $50. I know it is a lot of fun to pilot and it can shift gears against any deck it needs to.

If this is something that interests you, the deck is $48.05 plus $0.99 shipping from Coolstuffinc.com.

if I have a Yoda does it work in this deck? or is it tailored for Kanan

If you have a Yoda then you can swap out Kanan and you’re good to go.

Did you consider OGRey instead of Kanan? She has a natural discard side.

@Emmelc you can use her, absolutely. This list is based on the price of the deck and my personal style of play. But that’s the starting point. We want to encourage players to use these lists as the beginning to play Destiny. So sure! You can swap out Kanan for Rey 1 and use her if you want to :)
