This is really cool and well done. In lieu of spending hours reading all the material at the forums on this subject this is a pretty good substitute and hopefully becomes the starting point for future deck makers.

I don’t know how much you care about stuff like this, but in the new canon it’s official that Greedo hired Ponda and Evazan to help him confront Han. Of course, things didn’t go according to plan and Greedo had to go up against Han alone with less than stellar results…

I made a Gollum/Smeagol deck that I really liked. It involved a card that allowed you to pick the personality that you wanted. In doing so, you had to discard the specials and power cards of the personality you gave up, but keep all their basics and gain health points. If you didn’t choose then it made it easy to destroy both personalities if you played against it. Gollum was doing more damage and Smeagol was more utility but the increase in damage from Gollum’s basic deck made it worth taking Smeagol and being able to keep Gollum’s power combat cards and specials plus adding Smeagol’s health made taking Gollum worth it as well.

I’ve tried making a Sauron deck and I used him as the only character. I included the One Ring as well but it exists without any HP and only has Normal Specials to play so it continues after Sauron’s physical form is destroyed. It doesn’t do damage so if it were the only thing left then the other team would be able to claim victory. Just my two cents. I love all of these decks on here and I discovered them after making about a dozen of my own LOTR decks lol but great alterations came of my discovery so thanks so much.

Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to bring the Demolishor deck from the Transformers game into SW Epic Duels?

Not only is Bang! a classic, but there really aren’t many good games for 7 players. Caverna and Secret Hitler are among the few I can think of that even allow for 7.

Those painted minis are truly awesome! Great detail, and great photos of the detail.

An interesting deck for sure, I actually have at leas one major question: What is hold the line supposed to acomplish? I beleive the wording is not totally clear (at least for me). Does this mean all adjacent Troopers gain an additional 2 on defense for the rest of the game? This would be the only interpretation that comes to my mind that makes sense.

Have you playtested this deck a bit as I’m not sure if it really works the way it is right now.

It just occurred to me that the third Star Wars game that Rob Daviau was working on, DID see the light of day. The Queen’s Gambit! Shame on me for not reminding him.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I come around to agreeing with you that healing is fine as is. Probably the only thing Epic Duels really needs right now is more players. 😛

Just throwing this out there, but is healing really so important that it needs to be in the game? I mean it’s clear that healing was included only as a solution to what to do with those dead minor cards. Why not have have a rule that once per turn if you draw a dead minor card you can reveal it, discard it and draw a new card? It’s a big change, but it would have the effect of speeding up the game (where as currently healing drags it out).

First, thanks so much for doing this Roman, I’ve certainly enjoyed reading it! I especially liked that now we know what that ED sequel was about.

The only thing I have more than a few thoughts on is how in part two, he mentioned that ED was intended for 8-10 year olds and so they didn’t fuss over little things like trying to find a better replacement for the heal rule. I sometimes wonder what an “advanced” ED would look like, you know if it was re-made, but this time for an older audience and with more strategic depth. I think Mike Maloney has made some great decks that add a lot of strategy to the game without changes the basic mechanics, but that’s not quite what I’m thinking of. Probably it’s just better to let ED be a fun, fast shoot ’em up and look in other places for deeper games.
