This deck is my battle worn and proven approach to make an SWU experience similar to the Rogue One Vader Hallway scene.

I've played the gambit of aggro, aggro tempo, midrange, soft control, and hard control. This deck is a solid midrange list focusing on playing Vader by Turn 4.

Resource Curves

  1. Ideal Ramp: Turn 1 - 2 Resources Turn 2 - 3 Resources + Resupply = 4 Turn 3 - 5 Resources + Play SLT for 3, then ping with Vader for 1 = 6 Turn 4 - 7 Resources (Deploy Vader)

  2. Non-optimal Ramp #1: Turn 1 - 2 Resources Turn 2 - 3 Resources + SLT Turn 3 - 4 Resources + Kill off a SLT = 5 Resources Turn 4 - 6 Resources + Command = 7 Resources (Deploy Vader)

  3. Non-optimal Ramp #2: Turn 1 - 2 Resources Turn 2 - 3 Resources + SLT Turn 3 - 4 Resources + Kill off a SLT + Play a SLT, then ping with Vader for 1/Play Resupply = 6 Resources Turn 4 - 7 Resources (Deploy Vader)

  4. Non-optimal Ramp #3: Turn 1 - 2 Resources Turn 2 - 3 Resources + SLT Turn 3 - 4 Resources + Kill off a SLT + Play a SLT= 5 Resources Turn 4 - 6 Resources + Kill off a SLT /Play Command = 7 (Deploy Vader)
