This version of Maul might be meaner than the OG version, which is already quite mean. Bring your A game.
Maul on Speeder Bike
20 HP
Blue Deck
3x Dark Eye Probe Droids
1 HP each
Melee
Weak Melee Minor Deck
3x SITH STRIKE
A4. If this attack is not blocked, the attack value is 8.
3x SITH SPEED
A3. No action.
3x SPEEDER SURGE
Move Maul up to 5 spaces and he may ignore enemies. Playing this card does not count as an action unless Maul has taken 10 or more damage.
2x RECON DROIDS
Move each probe droid up to 3 spaces each. Then each opponent with a character adjacent to a probe droid shows you their hand and discards a card for each probe droid adjacent to one of their characters.
1x FEAR IS MY ALLY
Choose a player to discard 2 cards at random.
Maul is nasty but intentionally low on offensive cards and he loses 2 cards outright once his probe droids are destroyed, but is very hard to beat if he gets something out of them. He has hit points, defense, and unless you’ve significantly wounded him, he can hunt down and kill just about anyone, anywhere on the board. He has multiple ways to drain your cards to set up his SITH STRIKES.
Long ago, I remember thinking how I would never have come up with something so unbalanced as the OG Maul deck unless the OG designers made it themselves. I remember thinking, I would have thrown some DOUBLE BLADED ATTACK in there, some DOUBLE BLADED DEFENSE, and some card called FEAR IS MY ALLY that forced random discarding because it fit his quote from the trailer (which I was into). The double bladed attack and defense cards, unfortunately, are not a fit for this version of Maul, but here is that card at least. It may not be a perfect fit, but it’s been on my mind for a decade or more.
