PreCon Starter - Alliance: (Earther/Maverick)

by
published on

This Starter Deck is comprised of the Earther and Maverick Factions.

Incursion Starter Deck: Alliance (Earther/Maverick) - US Letter

Thoughts:

With the Alliance deck, you should start the game with ♦Earth/Corporate Headquarters as your starting location, setting you up with an initial activation of at at least 4 (2 from the Site, 1 standard, and assume your opponent's starting site gives you 1).  This also provides you 1 Earther Support Icon.  With 4x GR-Blade in the deck, you have solid early opportunity to leverage the Site's ability and play a free Warrior unit on the site - of which the deck has many.

Add Support Icons quickly using Independent Transport, Earther Bot, and Maverick Bot along with your encampments.

Leverage your GR-Blade and Assault Guru to increase your Battle Destiny and attrition on sites.  With lots of cheap Units, you can fight a strong ground war and force solid losses from Attrition and Casualties.  F.L.I.C. on a character is a low cost play that pays off in Attrition bonuses, and sets you up nicely for a Collaborative Strike.

This deck is weak in the Sector battles.  Including only Ceres/Belt Hideaway, the few ships included are clearly focused on playing against your opponent's Sectors.  I would make an early swap of Ceres for ♦Ganymede/Traginium Source to leverage your ground battles at Ganymede sites.
