As my second favourite character in Star Wars after the almighty Thrawn, I was quite disappointed that Doctor Aphra isn't the most effective leader to choose. Because of this, I've taken it on to make some more custom cards inspired by Aphra and her friends… well acquaintances.
Dr Aphra (Personal Disaster Zone)
Image Artist: Borja Pindado
For those who don't know much about Doctor Aphra the rogue archaeologist, she is a classic scoundrel who was a wiz with tech and droids especially! Because of this, I've made her unit card designed around her letting you play droids of any aspect (except heroic) more cheaply.
0-0-0 (Relishing Pain)
Image Artist: Rod Reis
A torture droid designed as a protocol droid, Triple Zero is a nightmare come to life and is both Aphra's companion and tormentor. His love for torture and pain inspired his ability to gain experience when Exploit is used.
BT-1 (Deadly Blasomech)
Image Artist: JB Casacop
The R2-D2 to Triple Zero’ C-3PO, BT is another homicidal droid, an assassin disguised as an astromech. His ability allows him to strike suddenly with Ambush and take less damage in the process.
Arc Angle (Repurposed Load Lifter)
Image Artist: Mariusz Gandzel
Aphra's first ship (she goes through a few Arc Angles) ties the first few cards I've made here, together with the Aphra leader we already have, by letting you still play the droid units you are forced to discard by the Aphra leader.
Sana Starros (Solo’s Wife)
Image Artist: Pere Perez
As she was connected to both Han (whom she had a sham marriage with so they could pull off a heist) and Aphra (whom she was romantically involved with when they were younger), I’ve made Sana’s card work well with both of the Cunning leaders letting you choose which card you put in your discard pile or resources, just in case it would have been a very useful card.
Magna Tolvan (Craving Discipline)
Image Artist: Emilio Laiso
Another romantic interest of Aphra’s, Magna was an imperial who eventually defected to the Rebellion. She gets the additional Keywords; Ambush and Overwhelm when you have more cards in your discard pile, this is especially effective in an Aphra deck, but she is not dependent on Aphra being her leader.
Vulaada Klam (Doctor’s Ward)
Image Artist: Emilio Laiso
An orphan who Ahpra eventually took under her wing and protection, for better and worse, I’ve made Vulaada’s ability be a much more effective version of Restock.
Korin Aphra (Obsessed Archaeologist)
Image Artist: Kev Walker
Korin was Aphra’s father who never made time for his family because he was obsessed with his work. His ability somewhat reflects this with him being able to search for upgrades or artifacts (I haven't yet made an artifact, just covering my bases), however, if he fails to find one, he is forced to pay a price.
Big Score!
Image Artist: Arnaud Pheu
As Aphra is one of those scoundrels who's always looking out for her next big score, a card like this made sense. It allows you to at least deny your opponent a potentially useful card and at best give you that card as well!
Electro-Tattoos
Image Artist: Kev Walker
The Tattoos Aphra has on her right arm aren't just for show, they can store information in the ink. Because of this, it felt like the perfect upgrade to put in this pack, with it making it cheaper for you to play events you've already played/had to discard.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed my custom cards! Please give me any feedback as I always want to improve my designs and I’ll probably make more in the future as I’ve got loads more ideas for potential cards!
