So sad that my Thawnkar went the way of the Dodo, but since I love me some Thrawn, I've been trying out a new idea with the new rule changes. Any feedback would be appreciated! :)
I feel Kylo Ren - Vader's Disciple synergizes well with Thrawn - Master Strategist's ability to see your opponents hand upon activation, giving info on if Kylo's special will be worth pursuing (and also shooting to remove those pesky weapons or mitigation early). On top of that, it's one of the few that can still double elite with Big Blue. On top of this, there isn't a lot of expensive cards in here, so with Thrawn's resource generation, money shouldn't be too much of a problem and once your primary upgrades are up, you can focus your foci on dealing damage.
There are two ways I see playing out this deck, adding versatility;
OPPONENT TARGETS KYLO Ideally, you would want to play out Crossguard Lightsaber and overwrite with a redeploy once Kylo gets low. In this scenario, The Best Defense... will be your best friend in keeping the heat off Kylo as long as possible, along with using Isolation early, as it is a spot Blue card. Placing a Praetorian Guard on Thrawn would help also.
OPPONENT TARGETS THRAWN You want to focus on getting money fast on Thrawn, as Kylo isn't much for generating money once T goes down. Praetorian Guard on Kylo to help mitigate damage and gearing Kylo up with non-redeploys, placing those on Thrawn when available.
I have had some success in testing, going 3-1 so far on TTS (losing against a Rey/Han that was lightning fast). Thanks for taking the time to look through my machination, hope you enjoy it and again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :)

I have been running a similar deck but with less upgrades and a few supports. Vader's Tie and Commando Droids are both heavy hitters that keep your DMG output up even if Kylo goes down first. |
|
I also run Chance Cube to get ridiculous amounts of resources. |

This deck seems good in theory the only problem cards I have with the deck is As I Have Foreseen Force Strike and double Feel Your Anger. Force strike is good but you only have a 1 and a 2 for 1 for a dollar. would you really want to pay 2 damage for 2 or 2 for 3, id cut that card out fr something like manipulates to justify the Feel Your Anger. As I Have Foreseen is a great card but i feel like it is a wasted potential slot for a better card because as the meta gets more defined you will know what cards people are running in their decks to know what to call. i like feel your anger but me personally i would just play one as it it way to reliant on the opponent to roll blanks!!! I'd say cards to try and fit into this deck are Deflect Vibroknife Makashi Training [Cannon Fodder] (/card/01068) Personal Escort come to mind and also get yourself some Ancient Lightsabers!!!! |

My FLGS weekly tournament is today, so hopefully the pack gods will smile on me and I can pull an Ancient Lightsaber or two! :) |

I'm a fan of As I Have Foreseen but the second part of my thought with it is missing from your list-- Feint. Since As I Have Foreseen has Ambush, you can play that card, then Feint in Thrawn - Master Strategist and destroy your opponents' hand. Just my two cents! I'm working on this character pair myself as well. |

I ran a version of this tonight, did't run As I Have Foreseen, cut them for one Droid Commandos and one Darth Vader's TIE Advanced. Also added two DH-17 Blaster Pistol and cut the force strikes. Deck was great. Took down Vader/Magnaguard twice and Sabine/Ezra once. 3-0 on a first go was not bad at all! |

Does Imperial HQ really have a lot of value in this deck? At a glance there doesn't seem to be many dice sides with resource costs |
Like you, this is where I'm looking post-Thrawnkar. I like your setup. I will also run some testing and see where it goes!
