Qui-Gon Jinn

This was one of the very first custom decks that the fan community made, and we used to play it with Star Wars Legos as playing pieces. We eventually made our own and we play this one about as much as any custom deck we play with because we like both characters.

Play immediately after a die is rolled. You may place that die on any side.

1x CALM IN THE STORM

Shared cards that either can use – 3 Talent Cards

2x IT’S A STANDOFF. LET’S GO!
Move Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan up to 8 spaces each.  Draw a card.

1x FORCE BLAST
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan each do 2 damage to each adjacent enemy, and 3 damage to each adjacent minor enemy.

Themes: Teamwork and balance
Path to Victory:  JEDI JUMP + FORCE BLAST, generally wear down your opponent
Strengths: High total HP, strong defense, potentially big attacks, very strong minor
Weaknesses: Potentially mediocre attack power, major has low HP
Strategy: Spread the damage and wear down your foe
Test Level: Very High but QUI-GON’S GAMBLE affecting the die roll is new
Tier: 2

Inspiration: Qui-Gon with Obi-Wan was one of the Epic Duels online community’s first custom decks, and Qui-Gon probably has about as many different decks as anyone, some even pairing him with Jar-Jar.  Remember that Episode III hadn’t even come out yet when this custom deck was made, and I remember going to a Kinko’s to print out Moon’s custom Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan deck.  We used to play with PD’s Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan deck with Star Wars Legos and believe it or not, the Legos pulled it off pretty well.  We eventually acquired the game The Queen’s Gambit and really just raided it for figures for Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Nute, Droidekas (much better for Epic Duels than the SWM Droidekas), and 2 Padmes, which we modded into Luminaras, and Gungan warriors, which were modded into Kit Fistos.  Neither Moon’s nor PD’s deck ever quite worked for us and we tinkered with some different versions before finally settling on this one.  We took the BATTLE SPIRIT concept from Moon’s or PD’s Kit Fisto deck. It fits Qui better for us and works out better against Maul in that as Maul spends cards, Qui’s power weakens.

Playing Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan: Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan are a powerful pair with a lot of staying power. Play a patient game, sitting back and stockpiling, letting your opponent do the same. Qui is at his best when the opponent has a lot of cards, so that he can get the most out of BATTLE SPIRIT. Obi-Wan is one of Geektopia’s strongest minors. Follow JEDI JUMP with another attack or FORCE BLAST. Don’t sweat it if either one dies, you can win with the other, but obviously, your strategy is to spread the damage between them.

Playing against Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan: Beware Obi- Wan’s A8 JEDI JUMP, he can get you anywhere on the board. If you keep your card count low, Qui loses a lot of power, so use cards early and try not to stockpile. Both are hard to kill, so try to concentrate on killing one of them, then take your time dealing with the other.
