Copy the Decklist Below:

My WIP Starblaze decklist. Ranged attack focus. 

Warlord

Order by:
Name Type Cost

Total Cards: 0

The following wall of text is me thinking out loud while creating this deck. Comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. 

Synergies: 

-Ranged Units +ATK boosting attachments/Catachan Outpost

-Starblaze Outpost:
     -Ratling Deadeye + Vior'la Marksman
     -Ardent Auxiliaries/Stingwing Swarm &gt; Elysian Assault Team &gt; Ardent Auxiliaries/Vash'ya Trailblazers(This was a lot sexier when the list included Tallarn Raiders & Bork'an Recruits; May squeeze them back in or cut Elysian Assault Team)
     -Steel Legion Chimera + Repulsor Impact Field(Also consider Fire Warrior Elite either in this spot or in conjunction with it. The latter adds Starblaze Outpost synergy)

-Ambush Platform/For the Tau'va/Pathfinder Shi Or'es + decent amount of attachments(also considered Promotion & M35 Galaxy Lasgun)

-Fireblade Kais'vre + decent amount of shield cards. 

There are so many cards I want to squeeze in this deck that I just can't fit. Perhaps a ranged focus isn't the way to go, but to be honest I think I'm probably running Ratling Deadeye and Vior'la Marksman no matter what. I could cut the Stingwing Swarms for Either Tallarn Raider or Bork'an Recruit. Either would lower the cost curve(although I'm not sure that's necessary) and add Starblaze/Starblaze Outpost/Elysian Assault Team synergy.

I would like to up Catachan Outpost to 2 copies. Maybe  i cut Ambush Platform for that. Or maybe I cut Repulsor Shield and run 2 of each. Difficult to say what the best composition is. 

I'm a big fan of running at least 1 copy of No Mercy, but I don't know what I would cut for it.

Could maybe cut some Auxiliary Armors or Ion Rifles for Heavy Marker Drones. It would make this deck less susceptible to tricks(ie Archon Terror), but at the cost of less synergy for Pathfinder Shi Or'es/For the Tau'va/ranged attacks.

The deck feels good on command. Should be on par with most other deck. I don't think it's worth the sacrifice to invest in more command to make this deck superior in that aspect. 

I like the little bit of defense The AM units provide. It's a nice compliment to the squishy Tau.
