Thanks for taking the time to look.

Skip The Force is Strong. It's pretty much worthless. New Orders is very situational, and you'll be claiming each round anyway, so which battlefield gets used is relatively unimportant. Force Heal is not as good as Force Protection (if you have that one), and Delta7s and R2D2 will slow you down too much. Overconfidence can be useful in this deck. Defensive Stance is also kind of a go-to for QuiGon. Swiftness is situational, and of limited efficacy, but when you can use it, it's good. Your choice.

Thanks for giving blue hero a shot! May the Force be with you!

It is good start. I actually like 2 Journals in this deck over Jedi Robe. I think the cheaper cost of 2 Force Heals is OK. Makashi Training over Light Bow. Force Speed at some point. I agree Defensive Stance is a must in this deck. 2 Destiny can help because you have 2 elites. Your eyes is OK but you should pick a camp either 2 Your Eyes or 1 High Ground and 1 Willpower. Use the Force at 2. Take Cover can be helpful as well.

Thanks for all the advice so far guys it's helped a lot and I've made a few changes that seem to be working well, Dropped delta7s and Force is strong and light bow, new orders to bring in defensive stance, high ground, misdirect and will power and I can borrow a friend force speed for the next event

I love Rey and QuiGon together! Take advantage of all the shield cards in that all blue hero deck. This deck would also benefit from Makashi Training.

Played a few more games against a few different decks and made a few changes so my deck now looks something like this:

BATTLEFIELD
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Echo Base, Hoth (Awakenings #166)


CHARACTER
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
2x Qui-Gon Jinn, Ataru Master (Awakenings #37)
2x Rey, Force Prodigy (Awakenings #38)


UPGRADE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1x Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber (Awakenings #41)
2x Rey's Staff (Awakenings #44)
2x Lightsaber (Awakenings #59)
2x Force Heal (Spirit of Rebellion #40)
2x Force Illusion (Spirit of Rebellion #135)
2x Makashi Training (Spirit of Rebellion #56)
1x Vibroknife (Spirit of Rebellion #57)
1x One With The Force (Awakenings #42)
1x Protective Mentor (Spirit of Rebellion #108)


SUPPORT
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1x Your Eyes Can Deceive You (Spirit of Rebellion #107)


EVENT
¯¯¯¯¯
1x Swiftness (Awakenings #139)
2x Force Misdirection (Awakenings #116)
2x Riposte (Awakenings #121)
2x Deflect (Awakenings #145)
2x Caution (Spirit of Rebellion #100)
2x Guard (Spirit of Rebellion #103)
2x Willpower (Awakening #122)
2x Return Of The Jedi (Spirit of Rebellion #120)

I would appreciate any comments
(I would like to use force speed but I don't own one)

You absolutely need Synchronicity, card was made for this deck. Swiftness I would probably cut, you'll be doing enough action cheating with Rey. If you can get another Vibroknife, that obviously would be an auto-include. Close Quarters Assault can be a neat trick to blow out your opponent's hand. They never see it coming.

Been playing this deck since Awakenings, so hopefully some of that helps.

This looks much better than the first deck you posted. I would still ditch Return of the Jedi x2, Protective Mentor and Swiftness and replace them with Synchronicity x2 and Defensive Stance x2. Do you have any other upgrade options to replace one of Rey's Staff? another vibro? I would either pack in another Your Eyes Can Decieve You and mulligan hard for it opening hand, or get rid of it in favor of another event.

When I use my Rey/Qui Gon deck, I find it works best when I'm on the offensive as much as possible. Defensive Stance and Sync are more conducive to you getting damage out IMO. Getting two Synchronicity in a hand can be devastating to your opponent, hitting them with 4 damage and your dice are still out there is great.

This new version of the deck looks really good! You might be interested in my Rey/ObiWan deck, as it shares some similar traits. Just in case, here it is:

If it has a star next to the name it's unique and can only have one in play at a time. I know people want to get them faster but it seems a waste to me to have more than one unique in a deck
