I have been wanting to try a VP shenanigans list with mercenaries, using "First strike" and all the VP command cards but I have not been able to come up with something really good.

With the new Smuggler and his 5VP cards I am thing about doing it with the rebels instead.

There are a few issues, one probelm is that most of the VP command cards come from the "Hunter" trait and the only hunter in the Rebel list is Biv.

It is also hard to get all of the other traits you need and still make it a viable squad.

This is what I have come up with so far.

Biv ("Price on their head" and "Merciless")

Diala (I can feel it)

Gideon with "On a diplomatic mission"

Jyn Odan with "Smugglers Run"

Regular Echo base trooper

Regular Wookie Warriors

Then the normal VP cards like, Celebration and Of no importance would be added.

I have no idea of this is a "good" squad or idea but it feels fun.

What do you think, any cards I have forgotten?

have fun

I think the problem I would foresee with this squad is "Too much trickery and not enough straight killing."

Depending on certain Command Cards can be tricky, especially if you don't have some way of culling or searching through your deck. All too often you may find yourself with Diala in a perfect place, only to have only Biv's cards in your hand. Or you're going to pull Biv's perfect card only to watch him get stunned, or defeated.

Outside of your Command Cards, how do you see this squad performing? Biv and Wookiees get the job done, I haven't really seen Echo Base Troopers in action yet. But is that enough?

Let us know how it pans out!

This sounds fun.
