Seems pretty awesome, especially on a turn with initiative. Add an Ion Rifle for up to 10 damage to two targets, or Gun Drones for 4 damage to every enemy unit at a planet before they get to go (again if you have initiative). With two command icons and 5 HP, it's actually useful outside of that too, not counting that it's always ready anyway even if coming from the HQ. I like it!

I see a synergy with Starblaze and with Holy Fusillade. Anyone out there playing Ranged deck that utilized Holy Fusillade a lot? Just curious.

Being a drone 4-cost, I'd be more inclined to consider it in a Shadowsun/Aun'shi deck with Eldar allies and Bonesinger Choir.

Bonesinger Choir cannot be used to reduce cost of the Sniper Drone Team.

Doh, you're right of course. That'll teach me to actually double-check the text on cards before posting. ;)

 

Thanks for the correction.

Ah, the Ranger replacement I've been waiting for! With BONUSES! Seems like it would perform best with, well, any/all attachments it can find so guessing Shadowsun it is for my copies.
