Spirit of the Rebellion Deck List Dump: Hero Edition

Image
Continuing the Spirit of the Rebellion deck list dump, we now review a few hero decks featuring new characters! To start off, we have a character combination that's been receiving a lot of discussion as of late!  Poe/Maz plays a bit similarly to Poe/Rey, but instead of throwing mind probes, force throws, and one with the force, you're throwing Launch Bay, Thermal Detonators, Rocket Launchers, Falcons, and U-Wing.  This deck has the potential for really strong action economy just off of Maz's ability, and the potential to also play the supports through Poe's special.  An extremely explosive deck that tries to just abuse action economy and a powerful special to deal a lot of damage at once.

Top Awakening Cards to Pick Up!

Hello readers!  I apologize for not updating as much recently, a combination of other things happening, along with the upcoming release of Spirit of the Rebellion, made it hard to put out a post that would stay relevant through the set release!  Now, with new cards to play around, a new set of characters, and many other factors, a lot of the ways we think about this game, and a lot of the cards that we are used to seeing, will change. That being said, since starter decks have been restocked at many locations, and spirit of the rebellion booster packs coming out, with an awakenings reprint happening afterwards, I hope that this game sees many new players, and while I think newer players will be able to manage a competitively viable deck using the starter decks and cards from only spirit of the rebellion, I want to make note of some cards from awakenings that are, in my opinion, very important and something that every new player consider picking up on the singles market.  I've cre
