Poe/Maz

Looks just like a deck I won a store championship with a couple weeks ago.  There are 6 cards that are different.  Heres my version:

 

2x Its a trap-----------------2x Bowcaster

2x New orders-------------2x Rocket Laucher

1x Sensor placement-----2x Launch Bay

1x Black one

 

I dont think you have enough targets for Poes special.  Ideally you want fast hands on him and to be able to use maz ability to resolve 2 dice to use a focus on hers to change poe to special and then resolve.  Most of the time, people will remove poes dice even if you roll a blank because of ways to change and resolve like this.  While the throne room is great to have, you probably wont get to resolve one of poes dice early as well as when you claim.  Most of the time you will roll in poe, roll in maz, and probably claim with your 3rd or 4th action.  Probably wont have many dice out to make use of its a trap.  My thought is that everything I use with poe should either do at least 3-4 damage or 2-3 to multiple targets.  Bowcaster is a great one to put on Maz if you lose poe because she can always roll and resolve it.  Launch bay is the only one I was iffy on but as long as you resolve it first, you should get 4 damage out of it.  It also gives some versitillity if your against something like a FN deck where the 4 discard could come in handy.

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking Rocket Launcher is needed, I think I will end up cutting it's a trap for it. But my main thinking was, as you said, you are unlikely to get Poe's special off multiple times in a turn, and otherwise, having big cost cards like bowcaster and launch bay leaves you very suseptible to things like Kylo and Unkar, where they will capitalise off of an easy 5 damage, or 5 resources. That said though, I do agree I need more targets, I think Rocket Launcher will be good, I will definitely consider bowcaster and Launch bay, and see how the deck perform in the mean time. Thanks again!

I also didn't even think about Launch bay as a discard tool against FN, I like your thinking there!

Ya sometimes unkar or kylo special can be annoying.  You got to figure though that you will be resolving a special before either of those things happens.  So your highest cost card will already be gone.  Then its about there odds to pull the second highest.  Sometimes it happens but you do have a little bit of removal to help with that.  In the end, your trying to out run them for damage.  If you draw hit and run, you can potentially get 2 specials off by rolling in poe and then maz and using her resolves.  Most of the time, you will have the option to discard and reroll as well so you can drop a high cost card if necessary.  I know where your coming from but I think the pros out weigh the cons here.  The last thing you want is to roll a poe special and not be able to resolve it

Hmm very true, I will see how the deck works for the time being, then depending, see if I want to find space for Launch Bay and Bowcaster. Thanks for the help
