If you have any cool trooper deck ideas share them below! We want to talk about trooper decks next week and we would love to see some of the communities ideas!

I'm getting a broken link :x

 

Meanwhile...

Sith:

2x Second Phase

2x Enforced Loyalty

2x Family Connections

2x Emperor's Legion

1x Imperial Command

1x Repair and Refurbish

 

Not sure if The Second Phase is a good pod yet, but the healing tech from Yularen has definitely made it better. Furthermore, if LS plays a mission you can get Legions in play for a very cheap price.

It's not published yet! Only us fancy contributors can see it right now. It will be up soon :)

(Well actually the Link will work now, but the article is not public yet)

Great job as always, ChunkyGorillas and AussieJedi.  Here's a "trooper" deck I've played a few times on OCTGN.  It's pre Solo's Command and makes use of the newest Navy stuff though.

 

2x Tarkin Doctrine

2x Enforced Loyalty

2x Family Connections

1x Imperial Command

1x Sabotage in the Snow

1x Corporate Exploitation

1x Dark Trooper Project

 

Yularen's set doesn't include any troopers, but if fits in with the theme of trying to do indirect damage to LS objectives between the objective itself, Yularen and Imperial Fist, just like Imperial Discipline from Tagge's set does.  Tarkin has the targeted strike Strormtrooper Assault team.  Every other set has at least 2 troopers in it so the deck has a total of 17 troopers.

 

I've been tossing some ideas around with the new trooper set, Emperor's Legion, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet.  Still waiting for them to show up on OCTGN or to catch up with some people to play IRL.

Thanks! Enforced loyalty is something I didn't think of. My current trooper list is the same except no Yularen, in its place I have the new Trooper set with the scout troopers. 
 

The scout troopers are insane, I have played against them a ton now and they are such a pain. Especially with Tagge out.

Second phase has always been one of my favourite sets, I'll have to try this out, adding the healing from Yularen sounds really fun.
