"There is a sense of satisfaction in looking at your men all ready for the fray"

Theme: 2 individually strong Jedi that form a strong team
Path to Victory: Wears you down with big attacks, CONTROL YOUR ANGER + DO WHAT I MUST
Strengths: High staying power, high attack power, solid movement and direct damage, 2 strong characters
Weaknesses: Anakin can get himself killed quickly and if he goes down before doing significant damage, Obi-Wan struggles to do enough damage on his own
Strategy: Anakin unloads early, Obi-Wan finishes up
Test Level: High
Tier: 1
Inspiration: It’s called Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, opening sequence
Playing Obi & Ani: Obi & Ani are a very strong deck with 2 dangerous sluggos. Anakin is one of the game’s best minors and Obi-Wan, even with only 7 talent cards, is no slouch as a major. With a decent draw, they both have a balanced game and Obi-Wan has a potential game-changer in BOLD MOVE. This deck has no real weaknesses but like any team deck, you have to keep both characters alive long enough to get something out of each of them, and Anakin makes it hard when his power combat cards result in him taking damage.
Playing against Obi & Ani: Focusing on Anakin is your best bet. Obi-Wan isn’t a dangerous melee attacker so you can run by him to swat Anakin or their allies, who will be your likely first targets in the game. Be aware of BOLD MOVE and consider spreading your team apart.
