I honestly need another Star Wars miniatures game like a hole in my head. The Geektopia group still plays SWED and we have fund doing it. The 1670 group still plays SW Minis, which is still great, can be as small or large as you want it to be, and has every character you could ever want to play (fans have made characters from the Disney films). I’ve heard good things about Imperial Assault and Legion looks good but I prefer shorter form tactical combat games anyways like Adrenaline, which I highlight in my GenCon post. I’d be interested in SW games around the new films and characters but the old stuff has already been covered, and covered well, IMO.

As far as miniatures go, Imperial Assault and the upcoming Legion from FFG might, in time, provide some good minis for the newer characters, though both are thus far exclusively OT-focused; to my knowledge, the only FFG game using minis that has content from the new movies is X-Wing, which isn’t exactly helpful for Epic Duels. Still, I can’t imagine they’ll go too much longer before adding in ST content to one of the games; we’re going to be two movies into the ST before too long, and it would be incredibly weird to still only have two of the FFG games (including Destiny) feature content from it at that point.

Hi Jeff! Thanks for your interest. I’ve found it to be a solid deck that feels like Jyn.

We’ve reached a point in time where even Star Wars Minis have become a challenge to come by. I had to hit up a friend of a friend. But if you can find them, the “Old Republic Recruit” makes a great Jyn, and was considered a “Common” figure so shouldn’t cost much. Commandos are easy enough to find as well.

That is interesting, thanks! I always like mining and recombining good ideas from other decks and other expansions. I’m not sure how much people will like that card and I question how much utility it really has as only a one-off… but I like it better than Jyn’s current A5, and it does kind of fit her. I’d probably rather try your idea out for now, while leaving the other A5 idea I had for another deck at another time.

“A5. If this attack does damage, you may choose an opposing character other than the defending character. That character takes all damage the defending character would have taken from this attack.”

I think this card (or something similar) could fit for Jyn (or Cassian, or Bodhi). What do you think?

So as it turns out, EXPLOSIVE CHARGE is an extremely weak, highly situational card. If you think about it, even blowing up a Rebel Commando to do 4 damage to two opponents isn’t really that great, because you’re killing the Commando and letting the other team off the hook from having to use cards and actions to kill him. Or, Jyn taking 4 damage to do 4 damage to two opponents, isn’t a great use of an action. You need either for the Rebel Commando to be damaged with no other cards or to be doing damage to 3 or more opponents. It can happen, but it’s rare, so you end up holding onto the card waiting for a perfect situation which rarely presents itself. Oh well, cool idea, I’ll leave it in the Luke deck, but Jyn needs to replace EXPLOSIVE CHARGE as well as THE NEXT CHANCE with some offense that she can use at any time.

The back of the deck. It’s awesome.

Yeah, I want to make more decks (or tweak my Rey deck), but I lost my computer a while ago and the deck creators really don’t like phones. =/

Thanks man! I’m a fan of your work too.

Which image are you referring to, the card back (got it from pinterest) or maybe the deviant art on this page?

D8 vs. D10 makes little difference. More like, drop one of the Ds altogether, but I haven’t seen this deck play yet so it stands for now. All set up for Vassal if anyone has time, even on his own.
