Hello,

1) I like the idea of going to Minor-Blue with the Magna Guards.

2) I always thought the Twirling Saber needed to be a 3 direct damage card. The deck was just not quite strong enough as you say. I wouldn't change the name of TSC.

3) As for Annihilator Blaster, it is a bit of a cluggy card in it's mechanic. The draw 1 card helps replace what you've lost. However, you can get saddled with AB cards with no Basic to use with it. I still like the card and it should stay. But, just 2 copies. Years of playing the deck have shown that 2 cards will work better here.

4) Then a 'You Are Doomed' discard could be added to round out the deck. The original version of the deck featured only 5 different talent card types. I believe for this deck to be its best, 6 cards is best. In most decks, 6 seems to work best, 7 is too fragmented; 4 and 5 is too simple in most cases. There are exceptions, of course, Mace Windu for one.

5) I don't think you need to change 'Cowardly Defense' or 'General's Orders' simply because I think changing the deck too much is not necessary.

I think you're on the right track. Upping TSC by 2 direct damage(total) and giving him a discard, You Are Doomed will be just enough to put him in Tier 2 and round out an already good deck without changing the entire theme of the deck itself.
