Ah, in my opinion I suggest to let the 'Draw a card' (or to add a new, secondary effect) to the ANNIHILATOR BLASTER new Special card; after all you play it AND a basic combat card.. I think a 2x card loss for a single action it's too much for a basic simple ranged attack. The risk is that ANNIHILATOR BLASTER could reveal to be a really weak card.
I've considered dropping the "basic combat" only restriction and allowing Grievous to use any attack (including Dooku's Training) to get around the telegraphing aspect, but that sort of goes against what Dooku's Training is all about, since it's meant to represent his melee attacks with a lightsaber. While you do lose 2 cards for one action, it's not the first time a card like this has come about (think Asajj Ventress: DUAL SABER STRIKE, or Kyle Katarn: BATTLEMASTER). The thing is, you'd spend the basic card anyway attacking, so you lose the ANNIHILATOR BLASTER card to give that basic card ranged capability...it's not like you could do anything else with the AB card, so I don't think it's that big of a deal, especially considering I reduced the count to x2. We added the card draw initially to overcome the fact that it takes 2 cards to use and because it was x3. So, reducing the count to x2 and adding a card draw to GENERAL'S ORDERS makes up for it, hopefully.
But, I'll monitor it in my playtests of the new version. One thing I noticed in the old version was that often times the Blaster card didn't even get used. Grievous found himself adjacent to his enemies more often than not. It was useful against shooters, but he also puts himself in position to be attacked right back in using it. So, it may be that the cards needs to be reduced even further to x1...but I'll cross that road when I get there. If there is any card that needed to be fixed more than other in this deck, this card was certainly it.
And to respond to everyone else's comments, thanks for the input. It's reassuring to see that many of us are seeing the same issues!
