Padawan Level Recap
The original Padawan-level deck costs just $28 and is all about smaller units, Bounty Hunter synergy, and event-heavy plays to deal damage quickly. It’s fast, aggressive, and incredibly fun. But what if you’re ready for more? Today, we’ll walk through two upgrades: the Jedi tier for a balanced boost and the Master Jedi tier for peak performance.
Jedi Tier Upgrade: Adding Power and Durability
What’s changing?
Remove: 2 Doctor Evazan, 1 Gamorrean Guards
Add: 3 Boba Fett
This upgrade adds $60, bringing the total cost to $85.
Why Boba Fett?
At just 3 resources, Boba is a 3/5 unit with excellent value. His on-attack ability deals 3 damage to the unit he’s attacking, letting him remove threats while staying safe from counterattacks.
Even better, Boba synergizes perfectly with Toro Calican. As a fellow Bounty Hunter, Boba can ready Toro for multiple attacks per turn, enhancing the deck’s speed and versatility. This upgrade gives your deck more durability, stronger plays, and tighter synergy.
Master Jedi Tier Upgrade: Unlocking Maximum Synergy
What’s changing?
Remove: 2 Gamorrean Guards, 1 Waylay
Add: 3 Cunning
This step adds another $60, making the total deck price $145.
Why Cunning?
Cunning is one of the most versatile cards in the game. Its effects include:
Returning a non-leader unit with 4 or less power to its owner’s hand
Giving a unit +4/+0 for the phase
Exhausting up to 2 units
Making your opponent discard a random card
In most situations, you’ll use Cunning to exhaust two units and return another to its owner’s hand, clearing the path for damage and activating Asajj’s leader ability. The ability to adapt Cunning’s effects to your needs makes it invaluable for both offensive and control plays.
This upgrade also increases the deck’s event count, enhancing the effectiveness of cards like Bossk, who deals 2 damage to an opposing unit whenever you play an event. Combined, these changes create a deck that dominates the board while delivering decisive blows.
Gameplay Strategies for Each Tier
Padawan Level:
Focus on small, aggressive plays with units like Doctor Evazan and Toro Calican.
Use events like Breaking In and Surprise Strike to boost damage.
Deploy Asajj Ventress early to take control of the board and deal consistent damage.
Jedi Tier:
Leverage Boba Fett’s on-attack ability to deal damage or control opponents.
Maximize Toro Calican’s potential by readying him after deploying other Bounty Hunters.
Master Jedi Tier:
Use Cunning to control units, activate Asajj’s abilities, and push for massive damage.
With more events, Bossk becomes a key removal tool while maintaining pressure on your opponent’s base.
Conclusion
Upgrading Cunning Asajj from Padawan to Master Jedi brings new tools, synergies, and consistency to your deck, letting you stay competitive at higher levels. Each tier builds on the previous one, transforming your strategy into a well-oiled machine.
