Disclaimer: I'm only discussing the campaign mode here, skirmish is a very different beast
After the drop of Lothal I started thinking around what would be the most broken combo I can come up with, then I saw the old Military Might Imperial deck with the Endless rank:
This card was absolute garbage back when Core was released due to the extremely limited of choice: a squad of rStorm for 6-1 = 5, eStorm for 9-1=8, rEweb for 5, eE-web for 7
However with the drop of Deathtroopers, I really don't see myself taking any variants of Stormtroopers anymore
Endless Rank allows a -1 reduction in deployment, meaning you can get rDT for 2 and eDT for 3, I think this is the 1st time we see single figure Imperial Trooper deployment group at such a low threat cost
Note: rDT's "Full Detachment" means you may grab all the regular and elite "Death Trooper" deployment cards, and they all count as 1 single open group, thus bypassing the precious "# of open group" limit
DT's "Tactical Comms" also allows you to activate 2 groups consecutively and imitate a single 2-unit deployment group. However being at such a low cost meaning spamming DTs is an entirely legit strategy. This is something we've seen in HotE but that required a reward card! Now DTs (combined with Endless Rank) gives you this ability, for free!
Or... save 1 more threat and get a Dewback for 4? Or if you got extra threats to spend (ex. from mission triggers), drop 2 eJets or 2 eRiots for 6?
