I agree Plo is too strong and just stated on Discord that Blue deck + Power Defense + strong minors is something to avoid. I think my group consistently underrated ROUGH JUSTICE, complaining that the forced discarding was such a massive penalty. I really don&#039;t think it is in the current setup, but it would get a lot weaker if he discards solid cards and then draws weak minor cards. I still think that would probably suit him better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My nephews *love* this deck and it sees play almost every session. After facing it many, MANY times, I vote Plo should have regular clone troopers (4 HP, weak ranged minor deck), like vanilla Obi, Mace, and Yoda. Often stronger generics are given to compensate for a more fragile major, like vanilla Palpatine or Geektopia Tarkin and Gunray. Plo, however, has more HP than vanilla Yoda, along with a blue deck, power defense, and action denial skills. He doesn&#039;t need the extra beef the ARC troopers give him if the other Jedi don&#039;t.

Plo himself is perfectly fine. Just like Obi, Mace, and Yoda, he&#039;s got a good bag of tricks to wear down and outlast the enemy without being broken. Storm and Electric Judgment are annoying, but less so than the Fetts&#039; wrist cables. My group likes how Plo *plays* differently than the other Jedi. Good job designing him!]]></description>

As Rich Pizor put it one time:  The heart of Epic Duels is the attack-and-defend process.  I think his quote matches our experience, as that&#039;s what we generally enjoy the most.

To have that, you have to have defense cards.  I notice that MOST deck designs, both in and out of Geektopia, include power defense, even though only 5 of the original 12 decks include power defense.  Well, defense cards are actually quite powerful, so just including 2 of them makes a deck pretty sturdy.  Take Plo for example, with a mix of offense, defense and movement.  Or Shaak Ti.  Both are tough decks, in no small part because both have power defense but also strong minors.  In the original game, nobody has power defense AND strong minors.]]></description>

Thanks!  We like this deck a lot.  He&#039;s a tad strong IMO, but it&#039;s more fun to play with decks that are on the strong side, hence our overall power creep...]]></description>
