Anakin (Dark Side)

the dark Anakin o:n Mustafar by ~lildevilme on deviantART

 

This was one of many decks created shortly after Episode III came out. It has always been fun but didn’t quite have enough power for what we wanted. We made some tweaks recently to Anakin’s movement ability and think that might be final.

Test Level: High but WHAT MUST BE DONE was changed in late 2010
Tier: 1

Inspiration: We were thinking about this deck before Episode 3 came out. When we made this Anakin, we had been playing with a tweaked Vader deck and made this deck a blend of the original Anakin and our old tweaked Vader.

Playing Dark Side Anakin: Anakin is straightforward, all power. He falls into the sluggo category but is one of the weaker ones. DON’T UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER is a great finishing card but it leaves Anakin exposed. Don’t be afraid to take some damage early, as you have a lot of hit points and can heal with SITH RAGE. Keep some Clone Trooper cards handy to discard when you play RELEASE YOUR ANGER.

Playing against Dark Side Anakin: He is pretty straightforward, with big attacks, healing attacks, direct damage he can use at range, and solid defense. He’s a powerful deck and if he gets a good draw, there’s not a lot you can do. His defense isn’t great, especially against ranged attackers. If you hit him enough, he will fall, but it’s a fine line since it also lets him heal.
