I'm curious to hear the results of this pairing, as I'm looking at using it myself. Already tried eVader/new Phasma and I'm not sold there.
Has anyone tried 2-player eKylo with eFN?
I will be doing some testing with it this weekend. This is what I'll be starting out with: http://swdestinydb.com/decklist/view/12752/fnloyaltormentor-1.0
Didn't try it last weekend because I'm not sold on most of the stuff in the 2 player box outside of the new Kylo, so I bought 2 of the Kylo by himself on eBay.
I too was thinking about that pairing! I might try that out on Friday this week.
Baby Vader and new elite Phasma is very good
I thought of this as well! I bet it's pretty good, although I'm not sure FN really needs that second character dice (like Rey, he exists for his ability). I've only tried one deck with the new characters - I already tried eIG-88 with new Phasma. And yeah, it's just as bad as you'd expect it to be...
Tried it, missed alot of Kylo's guessing games. eanakin felt more reliable

We're necessarily going after the second character die as much as we're just using up the points that can fit with Tormented Kylo. If there's room for the second and nothing else, might as well throw it in.

I get that, I'm just using it as a way to point out that new Kylo doesn't have a perfect pairing right now, because the real perfect pair for this Kylo is the old Kylo!
For example, eKylo(old)/Trooper/FN is going to be a better deck in the long run, in my opinion. I don't want to knock a deck before I try it, I just think villains need another melee damage character with an elite cost of 13 or less to be the best with new Kylo.
Just my opinion though. I'm sure it's still a fun deck, and will do pretty well in most matchups.

I agree that eKylo/FN/FOS probably will be (it's what I currently run), but I definitely think it's worth a try plugging in the new Kylo to see what happens. I like the idea of having a 2 damage side on Kylo that I don't have to pay for, and not having to use a die for a special that, at least in my local meta, whiffs a LOT.
Tried this out a little on TTS last night since they updated. I definitely like the new Kylo better. A couple games I ended it just by activating Kylo. Hopefully get to play some more this weekend at my LGS.
eKylo2/ePhasma2 is pretty fun.
Kylo is really good with the crossguard lightsaber, and he totally murders mono colored palpy/ obi/Rey decks.
ePhasma2 is the stand out star of the starter. She is super deadly.
