I created this deck because I am a big fan of the show so far. I tried to incorporate unique traits such as Kanan's lightsaber needing to be assembled and Ezra becoming a Jedi. There are some pretty good combos, especially with Ezra's specials allowing an additional action. this version is a revised version, as it used to be too powerful. let me know what you think, I hope you enjoy it!
I"m completely unfamiliar with the source material, so I'll just give pure design feedback.
*Overall Feel*
The pattern of 6s across each character, as well as tactical surprise, creates a sense of unity. Good work there. However, I feel this can be significantly strengthened. Otherwise, the characters feel rather unfocused, without a strong sense of what their deck is *about*. Darth Maul is about a huge number of attacks, yoda is about defense, darth sidious is about debilitating specials you can't fight back against, anakin is about early aggression along with the ebb and flow of emotion... Here I don't get a strong sense of what's going on.
*Individual Cards*
Assemble Lightsaber - This is a brilliant design for the mind game, because it gives a savvy opponent information baout when your power attacks are more likely to come. Unfortunately, it doesn't deliver on its name. When I see a card that says "assemble lightsaber" I assume the card will be assembling a lightsaber. This feels more like a card that would be called "finishing blow".
Tactical Surprise - Name is odd again, it's more like a pincer attack, but fine. The card design creates the strongest sense of unity thus far. Good work.
Defensive Master - Classic design, but weird that it's only defense 6 if it's truly a master of defense. The other jedi put the lie to this name.
The Last Jedi - Has a suitably epic feel to meet its evocative name. Works fine.
Becoming a Jedi - Doesn't fit the name and seems to be off-theme too. Why does taking an extra action represent becoming a jedi? That's a temporary burst, not a journey to discipline and great skill.
Padawan Initiative - Works fine, though it's a bit odd he runs to his teacher after - it still emphasizes their connection. Might be better if ezra drew an extra card instead of healing damage if his teacher is dead. More cohesive.
Ezra's Slingshot - I'm sure this is from the source material but it's still funny. Design is fine though.
