I have a reputation in our group for making non-standard decks that aren't really super competitive, but are nonetheless incredibly annoying. My latest one is this Trilogy deck that started off as a joke to troll my friend, but somehow ended up being pretty decent.

My inspiration was one of our local players hatred for the scene in TLJ where Rose Tico crashes into Finn and then kisses him. I noticed that their abilities both work thematically with her infamous quote about saving what we love, and then that their point costs allows them to pair perfectly with Long-Term Plan, this particular player's most reviled card.

In an effort to maximize the troll, I built this deck around keeping the characters alive through the cards like Suppression Field, Bubble Shield, First Aid, and Mend, all while saying "Save what you love" whenever damage is removed, healed, or moved.

It worked spectacularly, and this friend/player CAN'T STAND playing this deck (in good fun), constantly telling me he hates me, and yet somehow respects me for making it work so annoyingly.

Off course... I couldn't stop there. I ended up making these theme-tailored custom cards just to push the deck from the levels of "Casual trolling" to "epic trolling."

Saving what we love

The end result was a surprisingly effective deck with great longevity and surprising damage increase potential with card combos involving likes of Long-Term Plan, Resistance Crait Speeder, Attack Run, and Cover Team.

Saving what we love

Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and can use this list and it's accompanying cards to friendly troll your own local gaming community.

We're going to win this game not by fighting mill, but by losing to Kylo.

Beautiful Alt Arts!

I'm going back to Finn/Rose just for this. Thanks so much for the fantastic alt-arts.

@FireandCheese Just click on the images and download them from imgur. I uploaded them in high resolution, so they should be good to print. I printed them from a regular old home-printer on glossy paper and they look amazing.

Excellent Alt-Arts. I'm a big alt-art creator myself. I love what you've done. Also, the deck looks surprisingly fun. I have a couple T2/T3 decks that have similar play styles, they're always fun to win with. (Luke2/Finn2, Tarkin/Aphra)

Sorry to ask this here, since SWDB doesn't have private messaging... Have you played any of your custom alt-art NON-dice cards in any official events or weekly events at a game store? I'm just curious if you or anyone else has and what reactions were. I have a ton of alt-art stuff I've made, but I've only ever used my custom alt-art character cards in a store game. I swap back in all the official cards for the other stuff. I have a lot of custom non-dice alt arts as well.

@corvettejoe no problem. I haven't used it in any tournament or anything like that, just casual night. I guess the only problem would be that they are a tiny bit thicker in the sleeves since they include both the real card, and the paper alt-art. I only see this being a problem if you have someone who thinks you might have super-hero level tactile sensitivity though and complained you could somehow stack the deck through feeling the weight. I dunnno, sorry I couldn't help.

I just tried this out as a joke today because I too dislike everything Finn Rose TLJ.... and ended up absolutely loving it. Excellent job! Im so surpised at how well this works and survivable it is.

the other deck I carry around is DJ / Phasma which is the exact opposite of this. Pure aggro, dont care about damage, just push the dps through before your opponent. Destroy what you hate lol.

Just curious what template are you using to make your alt arts? Id like to add some to the collection for cover team, bubble shield, medical droid, etc.
