Los eVader/ eKylo 1.0

• Wersje

My take on the eDarth Vader - Dark Apprentice/ eKylo Ren - Vader's Disciple deck. Still in progress and tuning it for the "Unofficial" Danish Championship. Btw sorry for the bad english below.

Nothing new in order of this decks tactics and gameplay. This isn´t a fast deck, more like midrange/ control deck with the possibility of doing a lot of damage on your opponent with Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice special and upgrades. It might strukel against the very fast decks around in the meta right now, but i really think you can get around them by playing this deck smart (Hint: Mitigation)

Mulligan for: Vibroknife, Enrage, Isolation, Sith Holocron(And Mind Probe, Force Throw or Makashi Training - Just abillities for the Holocron)

If you win the battlefield get Vibroknife on Kylo and roll him in. If you lose the roll of put one shield on Kylo and one Vader if you have Enrage in hand. If not: put two shields on Vader (Your opponent what to kill Vader fast because of his nice special).

Turn 1 (if shields on): Enrage on Kylo and get the 3 resources to buy an upgrade next turn (Kylo Ren's Lightsaber or Force Throw).

If you buy Lightsaber but it on Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice (Redeploy)

Use Meditate to turn the remove your blanks and use the Vaders special - Try hard for 2x Vader special a turn - 6 damage + Kylo Ren - Vader's Disciple damage is lethal! But get it fast, Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice wont last long...Try to claim the battlefield (Emperor's Throne Room - Death Star II) as often as you can and get the extra 3 damage from Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice before he dies and go first next turn.

Else try to stall the game whit the nice mitigation (Isolation, Feel Your Anger, Doubt, Deflect, "Manipulate) - You don´t need to play fast, just smart.

When Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice dies you should have an fully upgraded Kylo Ren - Vader's Disciple, ready to roll in a lot of damage.

Kylo Ren - Vader's Disciples special is very good against Poe Dameron - Ace Pilot/Maz Kanata - Pirate Queen. Maybe FN-2199 - Loyal Trooper/Jango Fett - Lethal Mercenary but in my games and experience I use to get a lot of 0 cost cards...

Force Illusion is a nice ability to let Darth Vader - Dark Apprentice live a little longer. Use it when you feel he Vader is about to die and when Kylo is ready to fight ;)

Thinking of these possible changes:

Upgrades:

Immobilize - I think this deck would benefit from the shield sides to better exploit the Vader special and to last in the longer run against the fast meta aggro decks (Poe/Max, eVader/ Raider, Han/ Rey, FN/Jango and so on)

Events:

Flank - I often face aggro/ fast decks in my local Destiny community, so this card might help whit the dice mitigation and give Vader some survivability in the longer run and use his special more.

Boundless Ambition - Just an idea: Get upgrades on Kylo, let my opponent resolve dice/ mitigate his or hers dice, then Boundless ambition a new full hand and roll in, discard/ reroll and get a lot of damage on my opponents. Might kill one of his/ hers characters.

Force Strike - Just for some good pure damage

Close Quarters Assault - Might be good mill my opponent. When Kylo and Vader + upgrades might roll melee damage the combo could be good against Poe/ Maz, FN/Jango and so on.

What are your thoughts? Just some ideas I have, but dont know what i would replace these card for.
