I am going to buy 2 rebel and 2 imperila sets. I have the 2 cire sets, atc 170, a and b wings, imperial veterans and sf tie. I was thinking of buying the imperial aces and vader or inquisitor and heros of resistance and e wing. Any advice? Thanks!
Purchases
By the way i was also going to buy some individual cards like autothrusters. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Yes. Buy it all. ALL OF IT!
LOL

On a more useful note
I would second guess the E-wing. I own one, I like flying it casually, but unless a point fix similar to what they did for the starviper comes out, Corran Horn is the only one worth the points and that is just barely. The ship has some serious hard counters with only 2 hull. But, it is very flexible in it's build options and the Horn double tap is clutch!!! I might be tempted to get a T-70 individual pack instead of the E-wing, to give you the ships, pilots, cards to run a TripT-70 list. I like imperial aces, it comes with some great cards, but if you don't already have Fel, I would say again, not super competitive, where as the Tie/FO has an out of the box stud with OL, juke, comm relay. Vader is also a mixed bag kind of choice, unless you get the Raider epic (or at least the title and ATC cards) the ship and even Vader with 2 stress free actions struggles in the current meta. I would suggests a individual defender pack instead to add Vessery to you fleet.
Of course, this is just my 2 cents, and is directed at getting the most bang for your buck. The true rule of thumb is buy and fly what you think is cool, fly casual, and over all have fun. So please feel free to ignore my opinion in the event you think my ideas are boring and you won't enjoy them as much!!!
Edited by JSwindySince you have the A- and B-wings, Rebel Aces might be a good idea at some point. But Heroes of the Resistance is even excellenter. The standalone Defender would be good for Vessery and so you can use all your Veterans cards. Along the same lines, if you get Imperial Aces, you might want the standalone Interceptor at some point for Fel. Note Vader really needs some upgrade cards that come in the Imperial Raider (TIE/x1 and Advanced Targeting Computer) that are a bit pricey. Autothrusters are also a little pricey; you might be best off just buying the StarViper for what they cost (it comes with two). Your /sf will probably want Lightweight Frame; it'll also want to share your B-wing's Fire Control System. I notice none of your sets comes with Veteran Instincts, which is a heavily-used upgrade, but you'd have to figure out if you'll actually need it with the builds you plan on running. The best Rey builds use the somewhat-pricey Kanan Jarrus crew card. Tycho often runs Rage. That's what I can think of off the top of my head!
As always, upgrade card proxying is recommended for non-tournament play.
T70 > E-Wing for sure.
I love the E-Wing, I prefer it more than the T70 by a long shot. But Corran is just very hard for a starting player these days. He still pairs well with Dash, but requires a bit more creativity and strategy than he used to. He was always difficult to fly... but even more so now.
For me... as a Rebel Player...
Heros of the Resistance / Rebel Aces / Original Falcon / Outrider / A-Wings (x2) / Hawk / K Wing / Ghost / U-Wing
are all must haves.
Hero's and the Ghost expansions are probably the best two big box expansions to grab just because of the cards and pilots available! PS9 Poe, Nein Numb, and Jess Pava are excellent T70's that out fly anything from the single T70 expansion.
Many say the U-Wing sucks, I love it... but Expertise is a must have card. A great "starter" build is Rey with Expertise, Engine Upgrade, Kanan, Finn. It hits harder than a Death Star, is a very forgiving ship to fly, and pairs okay with a lot of the ships you already have.
