That sith affiliation card in the picture looks pretty bad ass

I made them to give out at local tournaments, I just printed them on a site where you can make custom poker decks. I can post a link to the image files I used for the front and back if people want to get their own to give out as prizes and such.

As far as new mechanics or cards added to the game, I want to see a better version of core obi wans ability.  Instead of the first edge card being face up when hes participating, I want a action ability on a card that doesn't necessarily have to be participating.  It would read as : action: activate this ability after an opponent has just played a card into there edge stack, reveal that card.  This could be used to sniff out a twist but also it wouldn't necessarily have to be used on the first card in the edge stack.

I'd like to see a version of Ezra from the Rebels show with a set full of creatures and a "Voice of Hope" event or enhancement that removes focus tokens.

I'd also love more card effects that pull units back to hand. I love the idea of striking with a high-pip unit, then moving it back to my hand for the next edge battle.

Characters I'd like to see in the game:

A Bespin Leia

Max Rebo, Droopy McCool, and Sy Snootles

A bunch more from Jabba's Palace  and Mos Eisley, but I don't need to list them all.

 

An DS event called "We'd be Honored if You Would Join Us" or "A Little Refreshment." It would steal LS enhancements. 

 

I'd like a Hoth version of Enforced Loyalty or something similar. Anything that utilizes the Hoth defensive stuff, but still helps bring you closer to your win condition.

I'd like to see better Hoth sets as well. It's probably my favourite battle from the movies and I'd like to play it out at a competitive level. Where's Blizzard 1??

I second (third?) more Hoth stuff. There's been a pretty obvious shift in design and costing philosophy since the original cycle was released, and I'd love to see new sets that draw upon that evolution. Of course they couldn't be tied to existing Hoth mechanics because that cycle will eventually rotate out of play, but some pods set there and representing key parts of the battle would be cool. 

 

That, and Walkers are pretty under-represented right now--though that may change with the Endor AT-ST set. 

 

I'll also harp on a favorite of mine: give me playable A-Wings! Or a Leader Wedge!

oh wow this is gonna be tough to pick just a few things. Like many others are saying I'd be very happy to see some really good hoth sets that would make hoth a competitive deck option.

 

Still being a big scum player I think we need to see more of the characters and events that occurred inside Jabbas palace. 

A new Jabba

Max Rebo (haha)

sy snootles 

maybe a new bib fortuna?

and that droid that was talking to c3po and r2. 

 

Also Cad Bane was my favourite villain from the clone wars and it would be really cool to see him get a card. Maybe an ability that only triggers when he's your only participating unit in battle because like he says, "I work alone."

 

I would also love to see Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, as I'm a big fan of him. 

 

And last but perhaps most importantly I want to see more cloud city sets and perhaps mechanics that play off of your cloud city cards and objectives, as I love cloud city and would be stoked to see smugs get some more love!

I'd love to see an event titled "I Think You Overestimate Their Chances."  Probably would fit best as a Rebel event.

 

I also want a Rebel version of Lando.
