Twin Suns Module : Kazuda Xiono

 



Readers of this blog should not be surprised at this module.  I like playing Rose, and this was one of the first pairings I wanted to try.  However I didn't really have the cards to support it at the time.  I do now, and I present to you the 3rd module for one of my current Twin Suns decks.

Leader: Kazuda Xiono

Ground Units (5)

  • [ X-34 Landspeeder ]
  • [ Ezra Bridger - Resourceful Troublemaker ] ~ I find that cards to let you scan your deck helps immensely in Twin Suns.  Try to include this kind of 'tech' where you can.
  • [ Han Solo - Has His Moments ] ~ I wanted at least a couple of pilots in addition to Kazuda, and adding Millennium Falcon with this had seemed worth a card slot or two
  • [ Armored Saber Tank ] ~ A Sentinel that Rose can heal probably isn't bad.
  • [ AT-TE Vanguard ] ~ Healing base is primary Twin Suns strategy, so having a Restore 3 beefy unit somewhere in the deck gives you hope there is an answer if your aggro/tempo fails.

Space Units (17)

  • [ Mining Guild Tie Fighter ] ~ The card draw if it lives is way more important that the ship itself.
  • [ Republic Y-Wing ]
  • [ Corporate Defense Shuttle ] ~ Perfect to support Kazuda and no Aspect Penalty with Rose.  DO NOT PILOT THIS SHIP WITH KAZUDA!!!!
  • [ Fireball ] - Duh
  • [ Grey Squadron Y-Wing ]
  • [ Hotshot V-Wing ]
  • [ N-1 Starfighter ]
  • [ Swarming Vulture Droid ] (5)
  • [ J-Type Nubian Starship ]
  • [ Blade Squadron B-Wing ]
  • [ Auzituck Liberator Gunship ]
  • [ Black Squadron Scout Wing ]
  • [ Millennium Falcon - Lando's Pride  ] ~ Resource till you find Han unless you're desperate for the ambush.

Events (4)

  • [ Fly Casual ] ~ Let's you decide whether to tempo or not.
  • [ Jam Communications ] ~ Not Spark of Rebellion, but since we can't have 2 copies....
  • [ Spark of Rebellion ] ~ Strong Card.
  • [ Torpedo Barrage ] ~ Still trying to decide if this is decent damage or not.

Upgrades (1) 

  • [ Snapshot Reflexes ] ~ I like this card because it subverts your opponents math process.  Many final phases of Twin Suns usually amounts to everyone counting life totals left on base and finding their lines.  This can give you that surprise +1 damage which could be victory. 

 So now you have seen three modules so far.  Right now one of my Twin Suns Deck is simply a (Rose / Kazuda / Nadiri Dockyards) deck composed of the three modules I have posted here.  I have other modules I'm trying out too, which I hope to present in the future.  This system has allowed me to really explore and dive into each leaders capabilities, and some of the combinations are fascinating.  I'm excited about this game and I'm eager to see what other mechanics and cards we'll see in the future.

  Dust off this card from Twilight of the Republic, I think it might get it's moment to shine for the next 3 months.  Even though this card is intended to rotate out when A Lawless Time releases, with Spy tokens being released in Secrets of Power, this card could very well see some play.  Compare with other similarly costed 'draw 2' cards : Do or Do Not.  Does not require aggression aspect, nor does it need to use the force. Enforced Loyalty.  You need double command and defeat a friendly unit for the same cost. Mission Briefing.  Does not require aggression and costs one less.  With mission briefing you can choose the player, but why are you not choosing yourself?  In fact this card may have a resurgence in Twin Suns games as well.  Many token units were released since this card was released.  Card draw is arguably more important in Twin Suns since you only have one copy of each card.  They're probably all legendary and rare cards....

This is a Twin Suns Card : Seasoned Fleet Admiral

  If you aren't aware yet, just so we're all on the same page with this unit, I'm gonna spoil the broken nature of this unit first.  In Twin Suns, the plan token ensures that as long as you don't pick the plan token, the Seasoned Fleet Admiral will be guaranteed to give out an XP token to itself or another unit near the end of every phase at a minimum .  As long as Twin Suns still uses the plan token to draw a card that is.  So on that alone he's worth putting in your deck.  Let's add to his list of pros: He is base command so he'll fit in villainy or heroism decks He's an Official, which is a useful trait now that Secrets of Power is out. He can be played turn 1.  Start getting that XP token value ASAP.  Several popular Twin Suns leaders draw cards.  Catch them off guard, or at the very least, stall their card draw. He has the stats of a turn 1 play that will potentially survive to turn 2.  Unless someone is playing with  Crushing Blo...

  This is one of those cards that while it might be decent in Premiere, you really should be playing this card in Twin Suns.  Anything that says 'each opponent' or 'each enemy unit' becomes a powerhouse when you play against 3+ other players.  And having used this card in a 6 player Twin Suns game; it is crazy good for one resource.  Played a turn before your deploy turn, gives you that much extra value on your big turn. It can also shut down swarms for a turn, so if your local playgroup has consistent token players then you very well might consider putting this in.  This has the trick trait as well, so all your Jabba The Hutt (1) Blue decks :snark: now have another toy to play with.  Hopefully they'll add more trick support in the future giving this card even more value.
