Jabba's Realm will be out before my upcoming regional on the 7th, and I'm reeeaaly excited to try out Vinto as well as Jedi Luke, but I don't think I'll have time to practice with them beforehand so I've decided to stick with what I know for now.

I brought Rebel Spies to my last regionals (which didn't end well....) so maybe this isn't such a good idea lol but whatever.

This is the plan (if you're going to be at the same regional, feel free to build your list to counter me )

Leia

Davith

Gideon

C-3PO

R2-D2

eSaboteur + Targeting Computer

eSaboteur + Targeting Computer

rAlliance Smugger

I've been told in the past to swap Davith for Lando, which sounds like a decent idea, but I'm going to be sticking with Davith for a couple reasons:

1. He's a spy. 4 Spies might be overkill, but he can use the spy cards, and this way I don't really have to include any smuggler only cards.
2. I have way more experience with Davith. I've used Davith a lot. He's probably my favorite figure for Skirmish. I know how to use him (I think.) He's let me down a couple times, but that's usually just his dice coming up bad. When he shines, he really shines.
3. My Davith is painted. My Lando is not. I won't have time to paint Lando before regionals, and it's fun to have a fully painted list.

My command deck is still up in the air, so if you have suggestions that would be fantastic.

The only cards that for sure need to be in my deck are:

Vanish (I love this card)

Comm Disruption

Intelligence Leak

Slippery Target

Take Initiative

Heart of Freedom

Element of Surprise

The rest is sort of up in the air.

There are 5 Regionals happening on January 7...

• Halifax, NS (Canada)
• Gilbert, AZ
• Marietta, GA
• Barnegat, NJ
• Cary, NC

So I'm not sure where your Regional is, but mine is in NJ. As for your list, 8 activations is solid, but none of them are really beefy units, so you'll need to be very savvy with your placement. But with all that Focus and free attack and Card advantage going on, I think you'll have a lot of damage output, so it could work really well. One of the coolest things about IA skirmish (especially with the meta in the wide open place it's in right now) is that there's always room for cool new build ideas. I wish the best of luck to you! (...that is, unless you're playing in NJ...then I wish you the second-best of luck!)

I'll be bringing my 3 boys with me to our Regional, but we'll only have 1 Jabba's Realm box to work with, so it'll be tricky to build 4 squads when all of us want to use the same Rancor! lol Such is the lot of a parent who plays IA with his kids....

I'm planning to pick up my JR stuff later this week from my LGS...can't wait!

How essential is the second group of saboteurs? I tend to agree with Kenny from Australia's logic that if you're not able to focus them, the second set of saboteurs is kind of unnecessary. Maybe replace that set with Obi-Wan and balance of the force or diplomatic mission?

From the first list I would go with:

Army 330 (15/15/40)

=================

[8] Leia Organa

[7] Elite Rebel Saboteur

[7] Elite Rebel Saboteur

[6] Davith Elso

[3] R2-D2

[3] Gideon Argus

[2] C-3PO

[2] Alliance Smuggler

[1] Targeting Computer

[1] Targeting Computer

-------------------

[2] Heart of Freedom

[2] Comm Disruption

[2] Vanish

[2] Slippery Target

[1] Intelligence Leak

[2] Force Surge

[2] Lock On

[1] Camouflage

[1] Negation

[0] Take Initiative

[0] Urgency

[0] Planning

[0] Force Rush

[0] Element of Surprise

[0] Cut Lines

Upon review, you can use the same command list with the Obi Wan version lol. One less spy group but you get more use out of the Force User cards without reducing your total HP and increasing burst damage (at the cost of an attack).

Yeah I can't decide if I should take obi wan or not. then I'd essentially only have 3 ranged units lol since Gideon doesn't really count...

Hmm after talking it over on Facebook, I'm now heavily leaning towards the following:

Luke

Leia

Davith

Gideon

3PO

R2

eSabs

Balance of the Force OR Diplomatic Mission OR Channel the Force

I vote Balance. That's a Command Card hungry list and an extra 3 points basically gives a free upgrade from a zero cost to Son of Skywalker. Loving the 7 acts as well.

Ok this is for sure my list for regionals. Davith was a champ in the game I played last night and bringing in Luke is much better than another group of sabs.

Only question now is the command deck...

Here's my idea for the deck:

Army 330 (18/15/40)

=================

[8] Leia Organa

[7] Elite Rebel Saboteur

[6] Davith Elso

[3] R2-D2

[3] Gideon Argus

[2] C-3PO

[10] Luke Skywalker

[1] Balance of the Force

[2] Heart of Freedom

[2] Force Surge

[1] Negation

[0] Take Initiative

[0] Urgency

[0] Force Rush

[0] Element of Surprise

[0] Cut Lines

[3] Son of Skywalker

[3] Hide in Plain Sight

[0] Fleet Footed

Urgency and Cut Lines are the two cards in your list I think can be shifted a bit. Especially cut lines.

Edit: Recovery might also be good, I know you like that card lol.

Got no access to force surge neither to force rush. Given that, what do you guys think of this deck? i want to try this list

Command:
[2] Comm Disruption
[1] Deflection
[0] Element of Surprise
[0] Fleet Footed
[2] Heart of Freedom
[3] Hide in Plain Sight
[1] Hit and Run
[0] I Can Feel It
[1] Intelligence Leak
[1] Negation
[0] Recovery
[2] Slippery Target
[3] Son of Skywalker
[0] Take Initiative
[2] Vanish

Gotta have devotion. Son of Skywalker can win games for you, so any extra chance to draw that is worth it. You could drop hit and run for that. Lock on is also good for sabs, but not necessary.

Thats a good one, i added hit and run in substitution of the force rush since i dont have it and didnt want to loose free movement points for Davith. And dont you think is better to cut I can feel it or recovery to not waste that one extra command point?

Just considering your build with Lando and the smuggler too. Here we still dont have inquisitor or obi. Would you share your command deck?

[2] Heart of Freedom
[2] Comm Disruption
[2] Vanish
[2] Slippery Target
[1] Intelligence Leak
[2] Force Surge
[1] Negation
[0] Take Initiative
[0] Recovery
[0] Force Rush
[0] Element of Surprise
[0] I can Feel It
[3] Son of Skywalker
[3] Hide in Plain Sight
[0] Fleet Footed

That was the deck I used most recently, and will probably stick with for Regionals.

Seems like a good list, although Hard to Hit might be better than I Can Feel It to be able to protect Leia or a Sab in addition to the Force Bros.

yeah. tough call. In a game I had I used I Can Feel it to reroll an attack die with davith though which killed the Rancor.
