At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card. Thanks to Crystal Mine I also get to play two Energy Crystal tokens to the field.

I then play Plutorinium Reactor, and use its ability to sacrifice both Energy Crystals for 2 stars.

At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card, bringing me up to 7.

I play another Weary Toilers, draw a card, decline to attack, and gain +2 stars from the toilers.

At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card and play two Energy Crystal Tokens.

I then convert them both into stars using Plutorinum Reactor, then play Mega-Tank for 4 stars, putting me back down to 0 stars.

I then end my turn.

At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card, bringing me up to 8.

First I attack the Perimeter Fence with my rightmost Weary Toilers (who has the Black Flag +3a bonus). Both the fence and the toilers die. The black flag remains in play, now giving its bonus to the next toilers.

I then play an Active Toilers which allows me to play another card.

Next (you're going to hate this), I play Join The Cause on the Mega Tank for 4 stars. (I had to get rid of the fence first to do this.)

And then I attack with my second Weary Toilers (1a+3a=4), destroying the Crystal Mine.

Next it depends on the interpretation of the wording of the cards. If I can attack with the tank straight away (it's now in my control and it hasn't been played on my turn), then I will do so, taking out the Plutonirium Reactor, wrapping over 8 damage. However, if we want to interpret the restriction on attacking with played cards that they can't normally attack on the same round as they were played (as is the case in MtG, say), then it won't attack (though the OP does say 'turn'). In the spirit of fairness, I'll let you decide the interpretation for this game, Kashyyk.

Finally my remaining Weary Toilers gives me another +1 star, bringing me up to 2.

Ooof. I'm not sure it matters either way really, I don't think I'll be surviving many more turns after that play. But the rules do just refer to turns, so I'm going to say I get clobbered by my own tank.

I draw a card, then play Crystal Cluster, which gives me two Energy Crystal tokens.

I then play Deployment Initiative, which allows me to put two Battle Droid tokens into play.

I then sacrifice both Energy Crystal tokens to trigger their abilities, giving each Battle Droid an extra heart.

Both have one extra <3

It was definitely a knife's edge: I was probably not going to live long with that tank around. I got lucky I didn't blow my stars on something before the tank turned up.

At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card, bringing me up to 7. My Active Toilers triggers, bringing me up to 3s.

I then spend 3s to play Max Stirner. He doubles my equipment bonuses but that won't be relevant this turn.

Given your extra hearts, I can't kill you off this round, so I don't attack with the toilers. Instead I just attack one of the battle droids with the tank. Tank takes 1 damage, 8 damage wraps around onto you.

Finally my remaining Weary Toilers gives me another +1 star, bringing me up to 1.

(Typo edit: adding correct damage to the tank.)

[Kashyyk]

I draw a card. I then play Railgun from Orbit, dealing 4 damage to Black Flag, destroying it out of spite. I think this might possibly be game.

Hopefully on the weekend I'll be able to play at the rate we see here. Very entertaining.

So the Black Flag goes back into my hand rather than the discard pile. At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card, bringing me up to 7. My Active Toilers triggers, bringing me up to 2s.

For fun, at no cost, I'll play Black Flag next to the tank (giving it +6a). Then Mega Tank will attack Battle Droid, destroying it and dealing 14 damage to you, putting you on -10 hearts. That should be sufficient overkill!

The revolution was successful!

That was fun! I liked your engine building, and it'd be neat to see more of what you could do. I had loads more unique character cards I didn't get to explore. My Join The Cause card is probably a bit OP, though I suppose you would have been able to counter them with a few more fences or if you took out my toilers before they gave too many stars.

Happy to play again or take any other challengers.

[notquitethere]

Some of the ideas behind my deck:
- I wanted equipment cards that would buff the monsters (in this case, anarchists)- I decided it could be interesting to have a mechanic where card positioning was important-- I could choose where a card is placed, but not rearrange them in play, so it added a nice tactical layer to the playing of the cards.
- I have more unique cards unrevealed, but the Max Stirner card is one of the ones which most clearly works well with equipment, with the support spell (I think of them as 'events') Raid the Armoury able to get more equipment out.
- The Toiler cards are the foundation of the deck, allowing more cards to be drawn and played, giving a constant star income, and even allowing an attack if necessary. Having two different varieties to choose from adds a little bit of strategic depth.
- I love converting other player's cards, so I was keen to include that element. You can see it worked to great effect here.
- Some of my other cards (unplayed) mess around a bit with the star economy. With the effectiveness of the toilers, I didn't really need to do any of that this game but it was an option (making things cheaper for myself, making things harder for the other player to spend their stars etc.)
- There were a few other ideas which I'll keep as a surprise for the next game I play!

Hopefully on the weekend I'll be able to play at the rate we see here. Very entertaining.

Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with!

[Kashyyk]

Most of my gimmick never even saw my hand, so I'll definitely be tweaking the numbers in my deck. Might see about modifying some of my cards as well.

Looking forward to another game, either against you or someone else.

[notquitethere]

We managed that one nice and quick. I'll let Supernerd get back to you about any deck changes, and also see if we can get a precise definition of the meaning of the word 'turn' in the rules, and then if you don't have any fresh challengers by then we can rematch. But if anyone else wants to faceyou first, I'll give them precedence.

[SHAD0Wdump]

If I get around to making my other deck idea, we need to pit it against this revolution deck. My idea was based on bureaucracy so the theme would be hilariously appropriate.

[notquitethere]

Haha perfect. After turning the might of Kashyyk's military against itself, will the revolutionaries be able to overcome the dangers of bureaucracy?

[Supernerd]

I'm not sure if any of those cards in the concluded duel were improperly balanced or not. On one hand the Plutorinium Reactor produced a crazy amount of stars, but it required some setup. The tank was pretty crazy too, but it was played at a time when the other player could reasonably be expected to counter it, which they did.

I legitimately don't know who would win in a rematch.

Man, now I want to make a deck. But as GM, there would be too much bias. Maybe if someone else made a similar game?
