Any restriction on a commander effect is ignored (name, range, class, faction). Obviously, there are CE's that won't work like characters granting extra attacks/movement at the end of the turn isn't gonna work with con artist because the other person will be in control of when the piece moves; you'd be dumb to chose swap because Marn will become a pawn for Thrawn/revan etc. Tempo control doesn't work because its not specific to a character. But he will be able to take Whorms and use it boards wide, Gowks, Gen Sky, etc Unfortunately it's supposed to say "enemy" commander effect but it must've got lost in proofing some how. I know it was brought up but it got omitted for some reason

Watto is horrifying. He can give some of the heavy shooters (rex, cadbane, etc), savage who can then get access to overwhelming force. As long as they hang back they can shoot unblockable bullets, at +4/+10 with celeste. Or can give jaina/mace the same.

savages are difficult to deal with though, so it's not all upsides. Plus when they are applicable to savage CE's they usually are usually exempt from others.

No Blizz. *tear drop*. Maybe next time. But, until then, off to the custom creation room... Aka my kitchen table.

Considering the time frame you had to deal with, everyone did amazing just to get the set out. And it's still much more error free than wizards's stuff, and they got PAID to do what they did!

Congrats on yet another v-set.
Does anyone else have poblem with the the quality of the pdf ?
I can hardly read the text and when I zoom it gets really grainy. Have no problem with the other sets. Not sure what gives.
Cheers

Cheers Image resolution is low due to the time constraints with getting the cards done and the PDF being made from the card images used for proofing. Perhaps at some point a new PDF can be generated from higher resolution images.

More coming very soon. The pieces with Rapport/Affinity etc will take a bit longer to get up and running.

I'd peg the new Ackbar as my favorite of the set. When teamed up with a Rebel Leader, he'll really bring combining fire back to the game.
Also, I do find it odd that the Mandalorian Flame Trooper does not have Flamethrower. It really seems like an implied ability considering the name.

Just on a quick quick over view Mako actually looked really fun. I loved evazan, something about the healers maybe. Now all we need is caleb next set!

I only ask because some of the comments lead to me believe, but does any one have this in hand already?

Thanks
