FFG Beginner Villian Deck 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

Hi all!

This deck is meant to be a beginner deck to the game, welcoming new players or those who haven't touched the game in a long time and want to get back into it. I designed a Hero deck based on the 2 Player Starter set and the Legacies starter sets that were published by FFG with some other cards mixed in. All cards outside of the starter sets are kept within the Two Player Set, Rivals, and Legacies.

How to Play this Deck:
This deck uses the special abilities on Boba Fett - Deadly Mercenary and Anakin Skywalker - Conflicted Apprentice as a dangerous combo. Having the ability to discard a card from your hand, or having a high value die in the pool to deal damage are very frightening to an opponent. Both characters' die sides have two 2 damage sides that go well with Boba's special. To ensure Boba's special come up as often as you can, I included Perseverance to allow for the chance to reroll without needing to discard. As such, you should aim to play this early to get the best benefits from it.

The included upgrades lean into the special chaining for both Boba and Anakin, but it also supports Boba's special the most. Wrist Rockets, Heirloom Lightsaber, and Crafted Lightsaber have at least 1 die side with a value greater than 2 which can give Boba the possibility to deal 7 damage in a single turn.

Boba is very clearly going to be the opponent's main target, which is where Anakin shines. 3 of his 6 die sides deal 2 damage, which can mean he will be very good at dealing decent damage every turn without any upgrades. If the opponent is focused on Boba and his special chaining, they likely will not see Anakin's special as a threat.

For both characters, I included 2 copies of Resilient to help keep their dice in the pool. This is best for Boba, but doesn't hurt to waste an opponent's mitigation.

Sith Temple - Malachor can help keep the opponent on their toes by doing small damage at the end of the round when a blank or non-damage side is showing.

The events included focus on resource generation and dice removal. I tried to keep the cost down so the focus can be spent on getting out some heavy hitting upgrades. With Clash being a good way to change one of your upgrades to a 3 Melee damage side.

How to Play in Person
If you would really like to play this game in person, there are a number of ways to get ahold of some cards and dice.

1. Buy sealed/used starter sets online
   1. There are a number of market places online like Ebay or Marketplace that sell sealed or used starter sets. This is the most authentic feel to the game and provides everything you will need to get started. HOWEVER, the starter sets only come with a single copy of each card/die so you would need to buy multiple to get started and this can be expensive.
2. Print proxies
   2. The Star Wars Destiny: ARH Database has every image of every card in it. To print proxies, I reccomend just downloading the few images you want, adding them to a word doc or google doc, creating a 3x3 list of cards per page, and printing them at home on card stock.
   3. Some print shops will print the cards for really cheap if you don't have a printer too.
   4. On top of this, I recommend purchasing a set of card sleeves to put your proxies in. Cardstock doesn't shuffle the best, and the sleeves will help make the cards feel more like the original.
   5. Amazon has some 22mm blank dice of the 4 colors needed for pretty cheap. Buy sticker paper to print the images and stick them onto the dice.
3. Order proxies from print shops
   3. Some print shops will make more professional feeling proxies if you provide the images.
   4. Note: print shops will ask that you have the correct copyright, OR a statement proving that you will not resell these cards. Just be aware of that when reaching out to print shops as some may refuse to print the order entirely.

Final Notes
Overall, this deck is not going to be the best ever, and it certainly can be tweaked, but for someone just getting into the game, this will feel really powerful when the synergies start to hit. I hope this is a help to someone and inspires more people to try this game! This game is by far one of my favorites of all time, and the community is just amazing.
