Deck Composition
Each of the decks in ED is based on the same standard composition as follows:
Luke, Vader, Maul, & Anakin all have the same Basic combat cards (Red)
Mace, Dooku, and Obi-Wan all have the same Basic combat cards (Blue)
Jango, Boba, and Han all have the same Basic combat cards except Han has a
2/3 card while Boba & Jango have instead a 2/2 card. (Yellow)
Yoda and the Emperor have the same Basic combat cards. (Green)
When you add up the total amount of attack/defend points on the combat
cards you get this
so it would seem that Jedi Knights and Sith have 56 total points to
create their combat cards with.
while everyone else in the universe has 46 total points (47 in Hans’ case)
The Royal Guard & the Super Battle Droids are the same & worth 49 w/ a 24/25 split (Type A)
Leia, Padme, Greedo, Zam & Chewie all have the same basic combat cards worth 43 pts split 23/20 between A/D
(Chewies’ is actually 44 pts w/ a 5/1 attack card instead of a 4/1) (Type B)
The Troopers & Battle Droids are the same & worth 29 w/ a 16/13 split (Type C)
Basic Values
If you add together the values of the Major/Minor deck + their Damage you can get an idea of the Basic worth of
each deck.
Of course these numbers aren’t all inclusive, as they don’t take into account the 12 “Extra” cards, (which is where
the real strength or weakness of each deck lies for the most part), but are useful for determining the Basic Value.
Summary
So there you have it. There are 4 types of Major Character 2 of them worth 56 (Jedi) & one worth 47/48 (shooters)
& one worth 49 (leaders) & 3 types of minors (I'll call them A, B, & C) A (tough) worth 49 w/a 24/25 split, B ( still
quite tough) worth 43 w/ a 23/20 split, & C (weak) worth 29 w/ a 16/13 split.
To use the playtest terms that Rob Daviau (co-designer of ED) told us about for the Majors, we have Red
(attack oriented 38/18 split), Blue (balanced 32/24 split), Yellow (shooters w/ a 27/19 split or 27/20 in Hans case) &
Green (defense oriented w/ a 28/31 split)
By using the Values of the Basic Decks of the Major & Minor + their damage, you can get a picture of the Basic
Value of the new characters/decks to make sure they stay balanced w/ other ED characters.
Hope this helps others w/ deck building/analysis (it's been educational for me!)
