I think we can all agree that double of these on the field is dumb. Pay for a Ghost and get a free Speeder Bike.

Pay for a Phantom and get a free YYSY.

 

At least it's limited to this phase.

Why pay for a Ghost/Phantom to get free YYSY, just play any free Rebel event (e.g. Adaptive Strategy) on your opponent's turn to get free Yoda without even having Jedi resources out xD

 

btw: Is revealing an affiliated Rebel fate card "playing" a Rebel card?

No. Revealing a Rebel fate card isn't playing it.

Turn 1 this would indeed be a great strategy, except Adaptive Strategy is a bad example as it reacts to fate cards resolving, which generally won't be happening turn 1.

 

Also you're more likely to have Rebel units than events

When I played this at NAC, I found when this was a one of, playing a Phantom into a 1 cost Valley of the Jedi was pretty strong.

Also, I don't know if I'm understanding correctly what you're saying, but this card says that it reduces the cost of the next non-rebel card you play "this phase" so if you play the rebel card during your opponent's turn, the cost of the first non-rebel unit you play during your turn won't be reduced.
