Personally, I’ve found that Obi-Wan drops to Tier 3, since Luke 8 DV is superior because of how strong he is at stabilizing the board without losing actions (Luke DV is Tier 2, for sure). Meanwhile, there is an ironic dichotomy that pushes Aurra DV up to Tier 2 at the very least, since any unit that isn't punished by Cad Bane is a guaranteed target for a quick death by Aurra (usually, shielded units with 1 HP like Lepi or Droid Laser Turret). Just like our good agent Bane, Cad Bane 008 (ASH is set 8 haha) will enter Tier 1 through the front door as Soft Control (he gets better results with units that synergize with his pings) rather than Hard Control (Dedra Colossus does infinitely better there, as the health difference is noticeable, as well as her early deployment).

But putting that aside, Villainy in Yellow-Force should prioritize Barriss Offee over Jod Na (the 3-cost Sentinel), since our agent Cad Bane pings him just because, and then on-curve removes him for free with IG-2000. However, with Barriss the tables turn 100% because she potentially denies 2 turns of pings, and temporarily boosts the regular turn 1 play by +2. Add to that the fact that Talzin's Assassin completely punishes Imperial Armored Commando (the bastard is going to be absolutely everywhere, hahaha), and it's possible it might effortlessly rise to Tier 2 too.

Well, so to speak, these are personal impressions, which I could wrap up by saying that Rancor Keeper with Cad Bane can be damaged by ourselves for that final point of damage, and that Pre Vizsla is the long-lost child of Luke SOR and Amidala SEC. Also, Piercing Shot should be considered more, as it plays an excellent role in a meta where Imperial Armored Commando can be abused, and even recycled with Moff Gideon Sentinel.

Oh, I almost forgot: Grogu LOF should regain relevance, even for the main deck, since he can mitigate leaders like Cad Bane and Boba pretty well. Plus, it's hilarious sometimes to attach an Upgrade to Marrok just so he loses that Sentinel, hahaha.

Anyway, signing off now, looking forward to reading about your playtesting!

Hey guys, how do you see the format post-ASH? As well as interesting cards for the format.
