Flex Slots and What the Field Plays

Five cards the field runs that this list does not, and what each would replace.

Across twenty-five sampled Director Krennic lists, five cards appear often enough to be considered core-adjacent and are absent here. Sample size first: twenty-five lists is one archetype at one moment, and every share below carries that denominator.

  • , 68%. Six cost, 4/5 space, and on entry it may put the top card of your deck into play as a resource. The most-played card this list omits, and the most obvious addition if you want the ramp to be more reliable and the deck slower.
  • First Light, Threatening Elegance, 64%. Seven cost, 5/7 space, Ambush, draws on a kill, and carries Plot: a third card for the deploy turn.
  • , 48%. Six cost: defeat a non-leader unit and heal three from your base. Unconditional removal that also pays the base total this deck spends.
  • Enoch, Solemn Servant, 28%. Four cost 4/5 whose death lets you damage your own base to discount the next unit, which is the deck’s theme taken one step further than this list wanted to go.
  • , 24%. Two cost 1/3 that discounts the next unit on attack.

This list trades that ramp density for interaction: three , two and the full count. That is a defensible read of a format where Cad Bane is 30.4% of top eights, and it is a choice rather than an oversight.
