Raistlin, I know I responded to you in IM, but I thought I'd respond here too. I think your tweak is an interesting idea, but ultimately it would only be a tweak that would be needed if Grievous needed more of a boost in power level. In fact I said the following regarding the +2 tweak:
QUOTE
(Darth Trumpetus)
Typically the following cards get used ranged: 5/1, 4/1, 4/2...and then every once in awhile a 3/3 is used in a pinch. So, a bonus will take what is already a solid basic attack and just make it stronger....it would give Grievous a range of 5-7 for his ranged attacks, which seems too much to me, especially for what is intended to simply be generic blaster shots. If the decks needs a boost, I think it's a good idea.
Well, after running the guantlet with the changes I proposed above, the deck performed much better. It was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. If it hadn't been for Anakin's Wrath's wreaking havoc on Grievous, I'd say the results are near perfect. So, I don't think the deck needs the +2 bonus.
Overall: 12-12, 50%
Tier 1: 1-7
Tier 2: 2-4
Tier 3: 9-1
So, had Grievous gone 1-1 (or even 2-0) against Anakin instead of getting skunked, these results are about perfect. He went 1-1 against Maul in Tier 1, but really struggled against Obi and Yoda (couldn't break their defense). He almost pulled out a win against Palpatine though, so he's definitely capable of win every now and then in Tier 1, and he split both Mace and Dooku, which is what I was hoping for. He was already dominating Tier 3 before, and the tweaks didn't change much there. GENERAL'S ORDERS is such a more useful card with the card draw, and ANNIHILATOR BLASTER isn't bogging down the deck like it used to. YOU ARE DOOMED is a rarity to discard 6, but it happened a couple of times which was good to see, and when it connects Grievous is quite good. So, I think this one is done.
Here is the final version again for reference:
QUOTE
General Grievous
HP: 16, Blue
Magnaguard Droids x2
HP: 5, Minor Blue
Power Combats
DOOKU'S TRAINING x3
A7, Draw a card.
COWARDLY DEFENSE x2
D0*, *If any Magnaguards are still in play, Grievous exchanges places with one and takes no damage. Instead the moved Magnaguard takes the attack and may defend as normal.
Special Cards
GENERAL'S ORDERS x2
Move Grievous up to 5 spaces and then move each Magnaguard up to 5 spaces. Draw a card.
TWIRLING SABER CHARGE x2
You may move Grievous up to 3 spaces in a straight line. Grievous does 3 damage to all characters adjacent to any space in his movement path, including starting and ending spaces.
ANNIHILATOR BLASTER x2
You may attack any one enemy character with a basic combat card at range as if Grievous has a blaster. This character may defend as normal.
YOU ARE DOOMED! x1
All players controlling a character adjacent to either Grievous or a Magnaguard, must choose and discard a card for each of your characters still in play.
Darth Trumpetus...trumpeter of fury.
