Blue hero deck - cards to get extra resources?

By Fromper, in Star Wars: Destiny

I'm fairly new to the game, so I don't know all the cards. I'm putting together an all blue hero deck, and I'm looking for stuff to get extra resources or put cards out cheaper, other than just the resource sides of dice.

I know about Luke's Training and It Binds All Things to get upgrades out cheaper. I've seen red and yellow cards that give extra resources, but I don't think I've seen any blue or gray to get extra resources. Are there any I should look for? Are there any other cards or tricks I should know about to get a blue deck up and running faster?

I think one is called adept Remove a shield gain a resource. Beyond that there are a bunch of Blue force powers that have a decent number of resource sides and Chance cubes are always great for resources.

I forgot about Adapt - I do have that card, wasn't sure if I wanted to include it, but I may. I already have Force Focus from the Luke Starter that has two resource sides. Not sure what other upgrades are good for that.

For blue there is: Adapt " Remove 1 shield from one of your characters to gain 1 resource.", Respite " Exhaust one of your characters to gain 1 resource and draw a card.", Secret Mission " Choose a color (Blue, Red, Yellow, or Gray) . Then discard the top card of an opponent's deck. If that card is the chosen color, gain 1 resource.", and Yoda's Hut (costs 2, support) " Action - Exhaust this support to give a character 1 shield. Gain 1 resource if that character has 3 or more shields." For grey there is Resourceful " Spot a Gray character and remove one of your dice to gain 1 resource.", Remote Stockpile (costs 1, support) " Action - Exhaust this support to place 1 resource on it or take all resources from it.", Scrap Heap (costs 1 support) " After you discard one or more cards from an opponent's deck, you may exhaust this support to gain 1 resource.", and Lotho Minor Junkers "Special - Set aside a droid , equipment , vehicle , or weapon in your discard pile to gain 2 resources." Lotho Minor Junkers costs 2, is a support, and has 2 range, 1 disrupt, 1 discard, 2 specials, and 1 blank.

@Fromper I hope this helps with your deck building.

Yoda’s Hut can be a fantastic resource gainer if you play a shield deck, which blue hero excels at.

Chance Cubes are the go-to for many decks right now. Blue hero uses them well because of all the die turning and focus sides available to them.

Some of these are already mentioned above, but here is my list. Note that I have included Characters, Battlefields, and Plots as well. Jawa Scavenger (Rivals #4) could also work but is a Neutral Character.
