Got packs, pulled a Phasma, and immediately built this deck. I noticed a couple similar decks on here prior to posting, but I think mine is different enough that it's worth sharing. The basic idea is to just go ultra defensive, using your First Order Stormtrooper to soak a ton of damage, mitigating even more with shields and events that reduce damage. If he dies, you can do the same thing with Nightsister or play a Endless Ranks to bring the trooper back. You might think Endless Ranks is too expensive to run, but from my 5-7 games of testing I haven't had too many problems casting it. It takes a little planning, but it is a huge game changer. At the same time, I haven't always needed it due to the deck putting out some good damage even while being really defensive. This is mostly due to the cheap weapons and having 3 characters worth of attacks.

MVP cards so far have been...

Immobilize. This card is just bonkers. Play it on turn 1 and you will soak a TON of damage for the rest of the game. 50% chance to get shields, and if you don't need them it blanks their best dice. It's been insane so far and I wouldn't consider running less than 2.

Holdout Blaster. Play on turn 1 and put your opponent on their heels. This card is extra good here because you can put it on your tanks and the redeploy means it will stick around for a loooong time. It also puts out great damage.

Personal Escort. Might seem like a weird choice, but I've found it very helpful for when one of my damage soakers is close to death. Put it on Phasma and keep your peons around a bit longer. It really helps with shifting damage around between your three character, ensuring that you can get the first kill.

Anyway, that's my deck. I have only played games locally and with friends so far, so not the most competitive meta. However, I have yet to lose a game, and my friends are already forcing me to build a new deck. So that should tell you it's not a bad deck to build. Hope you like it, and of course advice and comments are welcome!
