Your perfect starting hand is Arms Deal, Training, Thermal Detonator, Flame Thrower, and Armor Plating.

Here is your perfect scenario: First action play Arms Deal, discard Thermal Detonator & Flame Thrower to gain two resources. Second action activate IG-88 - Assassin Droid. Use Armor Plating to discard to reroll as needed (in a perfect world get both IG-88 - Assassin Droid specials). Fourth action, use both specials to play a Thermal Detonator & Flame Thrower on IG-88 - Assassin Droid. Fifth action play Training on Death Trooper.

You begin your second turn with another Death Trooper die, a Thermal Detonator, and a Flame Thrower in play.

The rest of the game, you are using Thermal Detonator's special, bringing it back with IG-88 - Assassin Droid's special, using IG-88 - Assassin Droid's special to bring Armor Plating back recurring, and using Cargo Hold - Eravana to move Armor Plating to Death Trooper.

What decks have you faced off against so far?

I was interested in your thoughts on fast hands. I was surprised not to see it as the IG damage is substantial to lose to mitigation. Is it because you find you need to keep IG dice on the table for use with the modified dice on the upgrades/trooper ?

@sruman great question. The truth is Arms Deal is paramount to get resources, 8 of the dice are important for my own mitigation, so other than maybe Unpredictable (which I LOVE in yellow) or Friends in High Places (which has done work in several games) I am not sure what I would replace it with. The other concern is both characters, but IG specifically gets loaded up with 3 other characters quickly. If you were to make your version of the build and wanted to include Fast Hands I would recommend taking out Cunning maybe.

@Reklawyad A few opponents: eVader/eKylo, 2 Storm Trooper 2 Tie Pilot, another eVader build, eUnkar/Death Trooper/Stormtrooper, eJyn/Ackbar, Aurra Sing/ 2 Tie Pilot and a few others.

@Reklawyad at the time of this comment, the only 2 Spirit of Rebellion decklists that are on the 1st page of the Hall of Fame decklist section are eVader/eKylo and eUnkar/Death Trooper/Storm Trooper and it has beat both of those builds twice each. 2 of the other top 5 SoR decks I see as popular meta are ePoe/eMaz and ePalp, so those are the next lists for me to play against.

Can you play training on the Death Trooper twice????

staylor598 451

@DArk VEngance no you can not. Training will make a character elite which means add a second die. You can't add a 3rd.

Why is traitor good?

staylor598 451

@DArk VEngance Traitor! is cheap die removal, ambush is a plus, and can help you get a good target in your discard pile for IG-88 - Assassin Droid's special.

After all this time, any update on this deck?

staylor598 451

@the BEAST It is still my favorite self-made deck. I haven't played it in any competitive tournaments, but it continues to see a lot of play and it wins a good amount more than it loses. The card I am looking to replace is Cunning, I thought it was going to shine in this deck, but it just hasn't.
