I would say bump the Consular's health up by one. It's hard for me to imagine a Jedi with just one health, if only because of their rigorous physical training.

You're making Jedi in Hiding very sad. ;-)

Jedi in Hiding *is* very sad

I know, and it cuts me to the quick, but she needs to be told about her problem.

She's just been letting herself go so much lately. Down to one force icon and one health.

Jedi in Hiding, you've just got to take control of your life. We believe you can do it...but the important question is: do you believe?

MWM7 - 5/6

Protection - Fate

MWM7 - 6/6

I really like that set! The only change I would consider making is maybe giving the Shuttle a unit damage instead of the black tactics, but that's only because it's hard for me to imagine a ship without lasers. Maybe swap out the black tactics for the unit? But I also like the card as is, so I'm really just rambling.

I love the objective ability and its great combo with Palpatine in the Core Set.

I considered unit damage, but in the end I went with tactics because of the strength of that icon type to compensate for the vehicles' limited interaction with other Sith units, and because thematically the power of the shuttle lies in its human cargo. Also, in the lore, Lambda shuttles tend to serve more as command vessels than as gunships, with their heavy armament being used primarily for defense against ambush and the like.

That makes sense! Like I said, I thought it was fine as is and was just wondering. Cool, cool.

I think I'm going to try my hand at a set soon. Been talking about Lak Sivrak, and I think I'd like to make a Rebel set with him and Dice Ibegeon in it. We'll see.

Enjoy!

Yay, you're back!

That shuttle is a real card, balanced and good. Feel like it would deserve some fun other cards in it's set.

Do you think giving that shuttle elite would make it overpowered? I think I would definitely play it if it had elite

Awesome card regardless though, I hope to see some more.

My dream cards would have to be ones that get here at least days after release, instead of months after.... Miniatures can make it across the pond in time for releases, why the hell can't cards?!

That shuttle is a real card, balanced and good. Feel like it would deserve some fun other cards in it's set.

Let me see if I can give this a try:

Twist of Fate

I hope this isn't too overpowered. I tried to get in several aspects of Dice's and Lak's story. I am wondering if maybe an X-Wing and a Heroic Sacrifice could be there instead of the cards 4 and 5 that I listed.

For the characters, I wanted something that would express their romantic relationship. Lak was pretty easy: I took the Shistavanen Wolfman and beefed it up a little bit (I like that card's icons and stats; it suits the species really well). Since he was an Imperial Scout, I added the edge tactics in, too. To keep him from being OP, I would be willing to give him one less capacity and/or Force Icon. Dice was a neat character in the story, and I wanted to give her more 'cerebral' icons.

I wanted to get in more of the story with the event I made up. It is a powerful effect, but that's why I made it cost two for an interrupt.

Covering Fire seems like a preexisting card that works well in the set and the story, a little bit. Like I said, this one and the event could be replaced by an X-Wing and a Heroic Sacrifice.

Twist is Twist. Um, if their being revived as Force ghosts counts as a twist. Eh.

So yeah, that's it. It was fun to think up. I've never done this before. It was hard, and again I hope it's not too strong. I put my emphasis on telling the story and the flavor of the set/characters. That's what I like best about the game and how it makes each set feel cohesive and organic, while fitting in an aspect of the universe.

Double post

I'd say that's what I like most about the objective sets, too. Which is why I'd prefer to see an absolute end to the sets that feature moments from vastly different periods of the saga (e.g. Last Defense of Hoth), or reference interactions that can't occur via the card's game (e.g. Heroic Sacrifice being unable to blow up a damaged Executor ). The game has been said to be taking a vague approach to continuity, and that's fine, but as a Nedly (Lukey?) player I'd still like the opportunity to build decks that do not in themselves defy continuity. So I'm trying my best to avoid that.

It can be tricky to build sets featuring more than one unique unit, though it makes sense given how you'd never like to see one of these characters without the other. I really like what they did in Kyle Katarn's case, in the way the cards themselves interact with there being duplicates. I also think it would have been hilarious if they had given his two cards different game text and artwork, with one being a Force User and the other being a Mercenary . Not only would this highlight the character's transformation over the years, it would also be a not-so-subtle nod to his indecisiveness from game to game over whether he wants to be a Jedi or not.

I like that! I also like how Infiltration works in a way similar to Stolen Plans but is, like, a kazillion times better.

I'm not so good with my EU, so I'll have to Wiki that guy, but I do like the set. x3

While it's not the first time I've tried making a non-Classic-era objective set, the task still poses a challenge. I would like each card to feel as timeline-neutral as possible, to remain in keeping with the tone of the existing game. Again, I want the whole objective set to be coherent with itself in respect to the timeline, while at the same time not being so tied to the latter that it disrupts the same neutral approach to continuity. I deliberately avoided references to the Republic outside of flavor text, making it a set that is strictly about Dooku as a character. (And there's also the canon revision to consider, but given our outsider perspective of the situation, I decided to ignore it in favor of avoiding headaches. The origins of Dooku's title of Count are currently "Legends" material, but are still fair game for now as far as I'm concerned.)

I feel as though this card should cost at least 2. It's an incredibly powerful ability that could change the course of a whole game when played at the right time. I would also say it could use a different name. Flavorwise, it should sound more aggressive, because it does not represent an instance of the heroes running away (which is usually how one survives an ambush). It's about scoring an immediate advantage. All this said, I do like the challenge this card poses to the game's present insistent focus on edge dominance, and its existence could certainly shake up the environment.

I was indeed a little uncertain about the cost. A good "surprise" card shouldn't cost too much (like "reversal of fate") because if you keep too many resources ready, your opponent can be pretty sure you've got a trick up your sleeve ( Ackbar after an Edge battle win, e.g.)

That said, a cost of 2 will force you to keep 2 or 3 resources ready which might be enough to make your opponent think you want to drop Ackbar and will thus go all-out to win the Edge battle ... hmmm ...

It shouldn't be too expensive either because you still lost the Edge Battle, which means that (unless Tarfful is also in the engagement) only your black combat icons will count for your strike.

As for the title ... I was going with the scene of Yoda who avoided the Clone Troopers at the Battle of Kashhyyk, where his Force Sense made it possible for him to escape their ambush/betrayal and strike before they could.

The idea was to evoke the flavor of the DS ambush failing because the Jedi have the Force to help them sense the attack coming before it really does and thus be anything but defenseless. I first went with the name "Failed Ambush", but thought that would suggest it was the LS ambush that failed.

How's about "Turn the Tables"?

I like the flavor and interplay of your "Ubese" pod.

I don't recognise the lore behind it (I dropped off of the EU lore in the mid-naughties due to other financial priorities and am slowly catching up now) but it feels right. A reasonably useful pod for normal play ... but becomes more powerful when your opponent plays Jedi.

Interesting idea as well to make the strength of your pod depend on your opponent's play, not the other pods in your deck.
