SW LCG Dream Cards

By Galak Fyyar, in Star Wars: The Card Game

I think this set is way overpowered.

The objective itself would be a field day for Sith control, 2x Vader, 2x Emperor, then you can duplicate them again with the Clone unit? That's way too powerful. I think you'd have to balance it with a strong drawback, like those units are destroyed after they strike, or each time you play a duplicate you deal 2-3 damage to the objective. It definitely can't have 5 health in it's current state.

Way, way too powerful. That is my complaint about most of the dream cards. They are incredibly overpowered.

The builds I have made so far have been leaning towards a theme in the Thrawn Trilogy and not so much on balance. However, I do like the feedback and when I get some free time, I plan to revisit the 3 I have started. Here are some of the changes I was thinking of.

RLR300 set

Card 1/6: Change the action to "If this Objective is undamaged,......"

Card 2/6 & 3/6: Change Luuke's cost to 4. (Maybe even lower his life to 2)

Card 4/6: Change action to "Copy up to Two combat icons of your choice from the copied unit" OR Change the copied unit to a non-Unique Character unit

Card 5/6: Leaving it the way it is. The fact there is the Forced Reaction that says the enhancement could go to an opponent give it a trade-off.

Card 6/6: Leaving it the way it is. It costs 3 and to use the Interrupt, you must sacrifice it. Then to deploy the unit, you have to pay the cost of the unit again.

Thoughts?

This is much better, I think the objective needs to say something that forces them to discard in play doubles when it gets damaged.

Maybe you can play unique units without regard for restrictions (all the time), but whenever it takes damage you must sacrifice any doubles. So the LS can trigger you to discard several doubles if needed.

Card 2/3 are pretty ok, maybe 2 health would balance them I think they are fine.

Card 4 is still a bit strong. It's like echo caverns but can be way better, especially with the protection units Sith has.

Card 5 and 6 seem well balanced to me.

I'm thinking about settling with that change to the Objective. Chances are already low that you'll have both this objective in play and undamaged AND have a copy of an unique unit in your hand at the same time (Although, if your playing 2v2 or against the LS Challenge deck, the odds are a little higher)

Edit: Just had a thought. When the Objective leaves play, players must sacrifice all copies in play. (Player picks which copy leaves play)

As for the Clone unit, how about this:

Reaction : When this unit focuses to strike during an engagement, pick any other participating non-Unique Character unit. This unit get all combat icons the chosen unit has (If the chosen unit won the edge battle, this unit gains those as well). After the engagement, you must pay 1 resource or sacrifice this unit.

Idea for the other sets I'm planning on making:

***THRAWN TRILOGY SPOILERS***

Set

RLR301: "Dark Force Rising" (Imperial Navy)

This will be a more or less standard set. It has some Dreadnaught units from the Katana Fleet. Not sure yet if I want to add Thrawn or Pellaeon or save them for another set.

RLR302: "Lady Vader" (Jedi)

Will have Leia and Norgri Bodyguards with Protect. Will also have a game-changing event card that will mirror what a certain Norgri does in the final scenes of "The Last Command" book ;)

RLR303: "The Katana Fleet" (Alliance)

Since both sides were able to grab some Katana Fleet Dreadnaughts at the end of the "Dark Force Rising" book, this set will be similar to the Imperial's "Dark Force Rising" set.

RLR304: ??? (Spies)

Haven't put a lot into this yet, but I am sure going add Talon Karrde in it.

RLR305: "The Insane Clone" (Sith)

Will have C'bouth and will rely a lot on the Dark Side player(s) having the Force on their side.

I will have a Scum set later but for now I'm focusing on getting 3 Sith sets done.

Eh, I can see what some people mean when they say some of the cards in this thread are overpowered. But hey, they're dreams, right? I think that's part of the fun!

When you're having a dream, details that make no rational sense can seem perfectly natural. But when you wake up, the light of day reveals how silly they actually are. :)

Good to go? I'm also just about done with Sith Set RLR305 "The Insane Clone" and will post it up soon.

Edited by Gunner070

I'd argue that Clone probably shouldn't be a trait for consistency's sake, since the 501st Legion cards should have it and don't (still not sure why they don't, but there you go).

Edited by MarthWMaster

True, but one of the cards I'm planning on giving the Light Side targets the Clone trait.

So my roommate and I just played a game and we were wondering what would a Chuck Norris card have so......

Title: (*) Chuck Norris

Cost: X

Life: 99

Combat Icons: none

Force Icons: 0

Card text: Focus all opponent's available resource cards to play this unit

Reaction : When this unit is focused to strike, it gains one black unit damage, one black objective damage, and one tactics icon for every card ever printed in Star Wars: The Card Game.

Reaction : When this unit is committed to the force, both players lose the force struggle.

LOL!

Chuck would still only destroy 1 unit per engagement. He has no way of splitting that damage up.

You guys want me to keep this going? After today's announcement, I feel like this is even more pointless than it already was. But if you want me to continue, it'll motivate me to keep it going.

I think Jahan Cross from the Agent of the Empire comic series would make a great card.

Hey guys - first post here.

I took the awesome template from Galak and started to make a few cards of my own. These aren't finished yet, but I'd love to get your guys' eyes on them to tell me if they seem balanced enough.

Just to clarify - none of the art work is mine; I totally grabbed it from the internet. This is just done for fun and I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to take credit for work that isn't mine. I just built these suckers in photoshop.

I don't have access to much in the way of assets which is why some of the icons are a little janky (the TD unit is lifted from an Imperial affiliation card and so it has the grey border instead of red.)

I want to do a whole Old Republic cycle which is why these guys are labelled specifically as Sith, as cards like Bastila are labelled as Jedi.

I'm having trouble building templates for the different affiliations so if anyone has any ideas on the best way to do that, I'd be super grateful!

Cheers!

UPDATE: Replaced Darth Bandon with a modified version.

FYI It's spelled Revan

Great cards I cannot wait to get em some day.

Darth Rivan is a separate character. He chose the name so he could be a Revan poser (not even joking about this).

Hey guys,

here are some Jedi cards from the Old Republic cycle I'm working on. The template for the card is not finished yet. I build it from scratch and there are still quite a few tweaks I need to make but I thought I'd throw them up now so people can take a look.

Cheers,

I would give the Consular 2 black tactics or 2 health. They are similar to Anzati elite except your unit requires resource matching so in my mind should be slightly better or equal.

I want a Thrawn set, and I think his objective card would be. Do you know art? The effect would be, Reaction: Every time you opponent plays a card that matches their affiliation you draw a card.

That would depend on the set, though. Keep in mind, most of the Serve the Emperor set is highly situational. That's why I prefer designing whole sets of dream cards together, it helps figuring out what should be scaled up or down.

I agree. Just giving Jack a comparison that may help him balance his set.
