All In Focus 1.0

• Versions

Very powerful deck that utilizes All In and Leadership in tandem with a gazillion upgrades on Luke, and, occasionally, Akbar. You want to go for big turns with All In, using the bevvy of Focus results to deal as much damage as possible.

BASICS:

From moment one, start playing upgrades--and ideally on Luke first. With 15 upgrades, ALL of which provide dice, you should set up your characters rather quickly. Also, don't be afraid to overwrite a less useful upgrade, like Jedi Robes, for something more expensive or useful.

Many of the dice have Focus results, which are used to flip Luke to his 3 damage side--among other dice. Akbar plays a few roles in the deck:

1.) His 2 focus side is obscene with All In. Often times, you will use another Focus result, to flip Akbar to two Focus, and then continue.

2.) Use Leadership to ready Luke and go ape shit a second time.

3.) Hopefully provide some damage by way of his ability, esp. when coupled with Scout and your battlefield.

4.) To die so Luke can keep beating them in their stupid head(s).

The deck plays 0 support cards, instead being half upgrades and half events. We have already mentioned our two big swing cards. We also have some die manipulation and removal, as well as 4 healing cards--two of which function as chip damage.

The Riposte and Hit and Run are both utility cards. Having a couple of free events is helpful in a deck where everything else costs 1-3. Riposte works nicely with the many shield-generating cards in the deck: Jedi Robes, Force Training, Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber, Survival Gear, etc.

While the deck CAN and often WILL annihilate your opponents, a couple of weaknesses are inherit:

1.) You can get random as hell rolls

2.) You will want to take some resources from dice, as the deck needs resources to keep the upgrades coming.

That's about it. Enjoy!!!
