I do think there is something to this build.  Feels like Starblaze's ability giving an AM elite effectively mobile should be a strong play.  Have you tried this deck yet?

I have. It plays quite well. Moving elites where they need to be is amazing. Only take away so far from games is not being able to ready the conqueror as much as id like. And an ion rifled broadside is just great versatility.

If only there was a worthy attachment for the Conqueror.  Then For The Tau'Va would give you that option.  Maybe you can find room for some Promotions.  The only other option is probably Missile Pod since it is a good card.  It could replace Calculated Strike.  Though it's a deploy action card so how often will it actually help you get off a For The Tau'Va.  Probably not often :)

 

Are you using Crisis Battle Guard as a command capper primarily?

I'm using the crisis suits for command and a way to move around the planets. Most of the time I let the first planet go so I can set up for exactly the planets I want.

Promotion would send the limited card count to high. I already have 5.

Yeah I guess there really is no good answer for additional readying.  Maybe we'll get another hard point attachment for AM or Tau before the game is over :)

Played a few games this weekend. Calculated strike is a great answer for other elite decks.
I'm going to try and play around with other ideas to see if I can get the re readying to work smoother.

DDS might make its way in to test next.

No promotion is good promotion.

Dozer blade could work. But I think this deck is beefy enough. Has a warpstotms resistance though.

Yeah it could work, but I think Dozer Blade is my least favorite card in the game.  I just dislike that in most situations is basically is the same as playing a 2 shield card on the vehicle once.  It's good on fliers though.  If only there was a way to make a Leman Russ fly :)

 

I agree there may just not be enough space to add a passable attachment for a coincidental effect.  The attachment would have to be valuable to the deck in and of itself.  Right now such an attachment doesn't appear to exist.  Fingers crossed for that last pack.

Sanctioned psykers seem to fit well into this deck. Now if I could just fit in some suppressive fires...

Dozer Blade is bad because it's a 2 shield card... that you play up front.

 

It combos up with Cybork Body, but that's not a particularly efficient combo.

 

Maybe a vehicle heavy deck could use it for 0-cost cards in hand as deploy stall. Maxim might like it if you want to go hard on expensive elite tanks. But don't fight Gorzod.

Death serves the emperor will fit nicely into this deck with a few tweaks.

This deck is performing quite well against alot of different warlords.
The re readying of elites and moving them away or towards battles is quite satisfying.
While it still lacks soft control the playtesting has been wonderful.
Starblaze is really coming into her own, not just with this build but with the all vehicle build as well.
