pearlyeti's write-up: "Inspired by RebelTroopers Luke/Rey store championship deck.
I just used this deck to take 2nd at a 31 person event. my finals match opponent was quite skilled, and running a Vader/Raider with Boundless Ambition. I might have eked out the win if I had a little more familiarity with the deck (or if I had realized 3 turns earlier that I was being milled!), but conjecture is pointless and my opponent played a great series of games and really deserved 1st place. 2nd place won me that sweet Lure of Power playmat. Thanks @Rebeltrooper!!! And thanks to Ethan, my opponent, for being awesome.
I made some slight tweaks to RebelTrooper's deck. I replaced Mind Probe with Rey's Staff and Higher Ground for Force Illusion and Confidence for Guard.
My reasoning on Rey's Staff was just more consistently having a round 1 or 2 weapon on Rey that brought with it some mitigation that works against every deck type. Removing Vader, Poe and Palpatine 3 damage sides feels so good. Hitting for 3 damage or helping resolve those pesky modifieds feels good too. It also upgrades early and often into One With The Force.
Force Illusion over Higher Ground because the decks that have scary dice seemed to be claiming faster than me (Poe/Maz, Palp) so it wasn't getting used a lot but Force Illusion blocks a lot of damage vs those very same decks.
Guard over Confidence because man, removing 2 or 3 dice feels so good! I now view Rey's dice as sacrificial until Luke is dead. Every opportunity I have to use Guard on her +2 melee I do it. Every time I can use Caution to remove her die to get Luke 3 shields, I do it. Rey's die has minimal influence on early game unless you know for certain she is going to help take down a Maz or Raider round 1. But getting those early Cautions and Guards seems to ensure victory just as much as Force Speed / Vibroknife opening hands.
All in all, RebelTrooper put together an amazing list and I think as we explore the list possibilities further it will continue to prove a very consistent deck. Don't believe claims to the contrary!"
