Hi Separatist.  I can't really get into all this except to say that 1. Yes, I and most of us agree that there are a bunch of problems with the original decks, and Vader probably comes up more than any other  2. Hardly any 2 of us agree on what exactly should be done about it.




However, a small group of us agreed on a set of tweaks we call the Tournament Set, which balances the original decks plus 2 of the 12 Custom decks from the 10-Year Anniversary Set.  If you and your brother play on Vassal and have some problems with the original decks, you might give the Tournament Set a try.  It actually might be exactly what you're looking for.


The Tournament Set thread in this Forum would also be the best place to post your thoughts on modifying the original decks.

Just looked at the tweaks, and yeah, that looks pretty close to what I would do.  Not necessarily exactly the same, but close enough in most cases.  

I'm kind of surprised about Darth Maul needing to be tweaked though.  Maul packs a wallop, but he's also got the weakest defense in the game... not only a red deck, but also 2 D0's that he'll probably play at some point.  If he had a blue deck he'd probably be cheaper than Obi, but as it is with his red deck, he's just squishy enough to lose a fair bit.  Then again, I see it mentioned that the goal was for each deck to win roughly 50% of the time, which makes sense, hasbro Maul probably wins a little more often than that.
