Went to a couple casual events and threw together this deck and it has been doing surprisingly well. A lot of one-of's (like Ascension Gun) are due to not actually having the double, but despite that it still performs well, proving itself against vader/raider and palpatine decks.

The deck works incredibly well against 2 character lists, with your main goal being to gun one of the characters down with IG-88 - Assassin Droid and using Crime Lord on the other.

I think IG-88 - Assassin Droid is an incredibly underrated card. He has big damage numbers, keeps himself and jabba alive with shields, and has a pretty good special, allowing you to grab Armor Plating and the Thermal Detonator after use. If you roll the special in the first round you can get things like Ascension Gun or Jetpack out for free if you throw them for a reroll.

The resource reduction on IG-88 allows you to save your resources for the eventual Crime Lord, whether through an Ace in the Hole, a lucky Friends in High Places or just the old fashioned way of paying for it.

I'm also a huge fan of Fight Dirty, which can really blow someone up. Without any upgrades on your characters it deals 3 damage for 1 resource in a situation where they probably think they're safe. Using Fight Dirty allows you to throw, say, Jabba's dice with some of the non-damaging upgrades like Personal Shield or Blackmail, in combination with an IG 3 damage side for a massive hit. It's this decks version of No Mercy so you can hit them with surprise damage.

This is still a test so I'm very open to suggestions. I'm considering things like Datapad so you can hit IG-88 - Assassin Droid and Crime Lord specials. I also just recently threw in 2 Friends in Low Places because people have said it's amazing, and I thought being able to scout someone's hand would be nice. Anything else I should consider?
