The other day in a tourney I played against a Luminara/Hired Gun x 2 deck. I thought it was silly until be pulled off a Planned Explosion and killed Rey lol

I have not gotten to play against any of those tier one decks but currently my two favorite decks are eunkar/death trooper/storm trooper (a great mill/control deck that's a LOT of fun to play) and eIG-88/death trooper (great agro deck).

I went to a local tournament this week, and 2 out of 16 people were playing eUnkar/Deathtrooper/Stormtrooper. That seems to be the most popular mill deck right now - my local meta is very aggro-focused. I brought my own eIG-88/Deathtrooper deck, and I really liked Iggy's special (I had three upgrades on him by the end of round 1 in one of my games, due to overwriting shenanigans!) but the deck lost 3/4 games. I just don't think there's enough yellow villain/neutral upgrades that do ranged damage for Iggy to be really good at the moment. It also really hurts that his 2 shield side costs a resource. Why does Iggy's double shield cost money when Qui Gon's is free?!?

What I normally do is try to stack upgrades on iggy and then when he gets low on health throw fast hands and rocket launcher on the death trooper, at that point you should be able to finish of your opponent with the fast rocket launcher. Also personal shield is very helpful.

I'm having great success with ePhasma/Trooper/Bala. I have no idea how this deck became a non-played, non-meta deck so shortly after making it to the final table at Worlds, but with a few SoR adjustments, it's still T1.

Very strong deck. Highly recommend.

I've tried that same deck with Guavian instead of Bala.

Bala's ability is clearly better, but I like the second guardian with the Guavian and I like his die slightly more.

I just find that, ultimately, it's an unfavorable matchup to Poe/Maz, which is so prevalent right now. Although when you can Best Defense two of Poe's dice it feels great.

I really enjoy playing eJyn/Padme and eObi-Wan/Acolyte myself.

I've had fun and success with a 2X Tusken and FN-2199 list I made, it's mean to it's hand but a quick hitter with big damage output.

I am getting two jyn from a guy I traded with on the big destiny trade thread and can't wait to try ejyn padme

I've wreaked havoc with Baze, Hired Gun, Hired Gun

eSnap/Maz/Padme mill - so far anything I tried against it is 50/50 or worse for the opponents, and I've seen other deck struggling against it), with eVader/Raider being worst match for it. We don't have Poe/Maz players.

eJango/eFN-2199 agro - I love it, the single deck that's happy to see hands full of removal because they just can't do much else and they can rarely touch it. eVader poses a problem, and I haven't played vs. Poe/Maz.

I'm finding Poe/Maz to be a tough match-up, but I wouldn't say unfavorable. It really kinda depends on whether or not they can do two Thermal-type effects early in the game. I've had more wins than losses, but it certainly can go bad if they AoE you early and often.

Played several games against my friend's eObi-Wan/Maz deck last night. Honestly thought the idea was weird until he'd roll out Maz and focus old Ben's die to 3 sides and Force Speed specials. There is so much focus in that deck, he discarded to reroll only once that entire game.

I won a SC with Rey/Qui Gon. Blue hero is a power house you actually have to think about to use right. ? Poe/Maz and Darth/Raider are the close match ups but usually you can pull ahead. With a right card draw and a decent roll you can one shot Poe turn one. Or really hurt him.

Got a list? I love this character combination and have been playing it since winter.

For me I've been playing eDooku/eVentress with great success. It's fast, can handle a lot of punishment, and dishes it out with great haste. SoR has been great for Blue decks.

I'm just over 50% wins right now with the deck.

eRey/eFinn

When I started the game I bought 3 starters and 10 booster packs. Since I got almost nothing worthwhile in the boosters, I made a deck that had a grand total of 7 cards not found in the starters (5 commons and 2 uncommons). I managed to go 2 and 2 in my first tournament and win my second tournament with the deck.
