Jango's Troopers 1.0

• 1.0

This was the deck I ended up building and using at the pre-release event. I bought both starter packs and opened 8 boosters. I was a bit bummed at first when my first character I opened was another First Order Stormtrooper, but soon realised how useful this could be when I also ended up opening Captain Phasma and Jango Fett. As much as I wanted to make a phasma and double trooper deck, I didn't have enough red cards or a second dice for phasma. Luckily, a friend of mine was able to lend me a second dice for jango, and I was able to make a decent ranged based deck from that.

I realised the deck is instantly a bit slower due to having 3 characters affecting the action economy, event with Squad Tactics. So I decided that I wouldn't try and make it a race to claim the battlefield like everyone else was. So instead, I have a tonne of dice removal cards, and ended up taking that game slow. I would attach upgrades onto characters early in the round, and start rolling dice. In earlier rounds I cashed in credits as early as possible to pay for removal cards. Then I would sit back, allow my opponent to gather a bunch of damage rolls, then use removal like Block or Flank (I would have to keep a trooper still standing for that). Once they have finished, and likely claimed the battlefield, they wouldn't have managed to get much damage through to me, and I would finish rolling any troopers I hadn't exhausted yet, and discard re-rolling to get a massive damage score and hit them back. If for some reason they hadn't claimed the battlefield, then I would occasionally find it useful to retrieve a copy of used Infantry Grenades that had been discarded after using their special. (assuming that we were using the Starship Graveyard ).

Using this strat, I was pretty consistent in dealing 6+ damage each round, whilst they would only be able to get about 2 through on average. I suppose you could say that this was a proto-control deck. With a bit of work I could probably really improve upon this strat. I Would want to remove the Flame Thrower in favour of a ranged weapon, maybe another Holdout Blaster. I also wasn't impressed by On the Hunt and Probe. I would probably replace them with 2x Sweep the Area and a single Underworld Connections.

The long plan is to obviously gather enough good red cards to replace jango with phasma, but thats probably going to become a completely different deck.

Let me know what you think and if you would make any improvements! :)
