Why Tweak Yoda?  To make him stronger and less annoying.  For one of the most powerful characters in the SW universe, Yoda’s deck just doesn’t stack up in 2v2.  He’s a good but not great character in 2v2 in the original game and downright mediocre relative to the Geektopia set. His lack of movement can make it very frustrating for a player who is unlucky with die rolls.

Tweaks:

3x Tweak FORCE LIFT to allow Yoda to choose any character, not just an adjacent character.
2X Tweak FORCE STRIKE from A6 to A8.

Themes: Defense and Insight
Path to Victory: Hold them off with defense, then FORCE LIFT + FORCE STRIKE
Strengths: High defense, forces opponents to discard, FORCE PUSH
Weaknesses: Low damage output, no movement, weak minors
Strategy: Use great defense to get into battle, use INSIGHT and FORCE PUSH to control the board.
Test Level: High
Tier: 2 

Notes: The tweak to FORCE LIFT reduces the liability of lack of movement and the tweak to FORCE STRIKE raises his power level by giving him more punch.  With those major problems addressed, Yoda actually borders on being fun to play.
