I just keep my cards in a card box in numerical order according to objective sets. I have the core set all together and then put dividers between the core set and each force pack.

I build my decks on CardGameDB and then use that information to pull the objectives out of the card box.

My favorite part of this hobby is the rules arguments.
Our regional is this weekend, and I had to threaten going to a competitor to get my Assault on Echo Base last night. I didn't like doing that, but I needed to study the set so I can be prepared (and now I'm tempted to rework entirely.) They really are hard at work to make alternatives to Smug Jedi competitive.

Imperial Blockade is the crazy thing from the preview IMO.
It is perfect for my Capital Ships deck. Being able to removed focus tokens on Capital Ships is kind of crazy with how powerful they are.

If Rebels got something like that it'd made Home One almost the best card in the game.

My most successful decks have always had Navy in it and more big dudes is double plus good.

Mainly the two new 5 cost capital ships are sweet especially with all the previous support for making playing them easier.

How does Lobot make you as the only side that strikes if you win the Force Battle? Just have a good dude fight with him?

This Deluxe Expansion is way cooler than I thought it was going to be. Not only do we get a new objectives each (I have a feeling they will be one-ofs, otherwise the card count math is really wonky.), but 2-3 Vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2. I'm pretty excited to see how the game feel is, and looking forward to further details on the common reserve and support combat.

"A single copy of Balance of the Force contains a complete playset of each new card!"

"The six affiliations of Star Wars: The Card Game each gain a new objective set from Balance of the Force. These objective sets are each “Limit 1 per objective deck”"

Dash Rendar and Mara Jade make me so happy. Now all we need is a Kyle Katarn (Which I'm sure is coming since the Xwing miniatures game will have him)

Yay! My math worked out then. Seems we also get a new DS dial :woop:

E: I don't really play this game competitively, but I am super excited to get this set and do some sweet 2 vs 2. I wonder how they are going to support the multiplayer playstyle in the future... I know we haven't even received the first Expansion, but I wonder if they are going to keep this format strictly in the realm of Deluxe expansions, or litter them in the Force Cycles. One Force Pack could contain an entire preconstructed deck.

From the preview page:

quote:

Many of their cards introduce ways that multiplayer teammates can benefit from their “common reserve,” and some offer effects that are particularly damaging in multiplayer matches, such as a single event that can capture as many as two enemy units. Still, these objective sets will quickly find their way into many two-player games because they introduce a host of new mechanics and potent Characters, including cards like Supporting Fire (Balance of the Force, 420) and the expanded universe’s Mara Jade (Balance of the Force, 430).

So yes, they should be fine in normal 1v1 decks. Bear in mind they'll be Limit 1 pods so even if they're strong they won't show up as frequently.

I can see 2v2 getting it's own tournaments if it goes well.
AGoT has Joust and Melee tournaments at the same time, No reason to not expect 2v2 or even Challenge Deck Scenario tournaments.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. We get either:

a)A perfectly serviceable box at a reasonable price point by itself, with the option to buy 2 for complete play sets for high level play.

b)A box that has a full play set of 11 objective sets.

c)A complete 22 objective set box that costs equal to or greater than a core set box.

You then get complaints that a)you have to buy 2 from competitive players/completionists, that b)the box didn't add enough content for the price point, or that c)it's too expensive and no casuals would even consider the investment.

FFG has me by the wallet for 2 LCGs. I know people who keep up with the content for 3 or more. Still prefer this model to M:TG.

This deck absolutely whipped rear end at a tournament today. Super happy with its performance. I feel like it will change the meta here a lot.

Rebel Alliance (Core)


Total Objective Sets: (10)

2x The Defense of Yavin 4 (Core)
Red Two (Core)
Y-Wing (Core)
Astromech Droid Upgrade (Core)
Hidden Outpost (Core)
Rebel Assault (Core)

2x Questionable Contacts (Core)
Han Solo (Core)
Twi'lek Smuggler (Core)
Cloud City Casino (Core)
Swindled (Core)
Crossfire (Core)

2x Prepare for Evacuation (A Dark Time)
Renegade Squadron Escort (A Dark Time)
Renegade Squadron Escort (A Dark Time)
Action-series Bulk Transport (A Dark Time)
Ion Cannon Burst (A Dark Time)
Battle of Hoth (A Dark Time)

2x Raise the Stakes (Edge of Darkness)
Blockade Runner (Edge of Darkness)
Cloud City Operative (Edge of Darkness)
Bothan Spy (Edge of Darkness)
Smuggling Compartment (Edge of Darkness)
Swindled (Edge of Darkness)

2x Across the Anoat Sector (Edge of Darkness)
Sleuth Scout (Edge of Darkness)
Sleuth Scout (Edge of Darkness)
Undercover Operative (Edge of Darkness)
Smuggler's Run (Edge of Darkness)
Over My Dead Body (Edge of Darkness)

Strategy is pretty simple. Send in cards undefended to blow up objectives fast. The only thing that slowed me down was on enemy objective that made units more expensive when undamaged, and one that made events more expensive when undamaged.

edit: My Capture deck, however, was loving abysmal.
