One Hell of a Pilot - ePoe2 eRose Black One (V2.0) 2.0

Swapped out a few cards for a Second Black One and some Chance Cubes

previous write-up:

Being a fan of Poe and BB-8, I knew I wanted to put together a deck like this after the new cards were revealed.

This probably isn't going to win a tournament anytime soon but it's thematic and fun.

The new plot Armored Reinforcement allows a first action Black One for 1 resource, or for free if you won the Weapons Factory Alpha - Cymoon 1 battlefield.

Mulligan hard for BB-8 at the start. He's the most crucial piece to get this all working. His 50% chance of a 1 makes getting the Black One special much more reliable. Plus one free reactivation for the ship is a plus. Also worth trying to get First Aid for first turn, but that's a given.

Rose - Skilled Mechanic is here to make money, mostly. There's a few other options for her spot, including Biggs Darklighter - Rebellion Ace or single die Finn - Soldier of Necessity. Ultimately I went with Rose because I can special chain resources from Poe Dameron - More Than A Pilot and she can fix Black One if the opponent starts putting damage on it.

For upgrades, anything with a die goes on Poe, anything without goes on Rose.

General notes:

• You won't be claiming with this deck, it takes a while to get through all of the Black One specials. So cards that require the battlefield like Aerial Advantage aren't worth taking.
• There's not a lot of health here so you'll struggle against heavy aggro decks.
• Try and save Hit and Run for when Rose has Wingman and Poe has Lead by Example for a potential big hit.
• Special and Focus chaining are the real strengths of this deck.

Other options:

• Dogfight - If you think there will be other vehicle decks.
• Mend - For some more healing.
• Targeting Astromech - For more die turning, but there's already a lot of focus in the deck and only 3 mod spots available.
• Leadership - To exhaust Rose for another Poe activation.
