Dark Side Wins?

Played a whole bunch of games yesterday.

I don't think it possible for Light Side to win with just the core set if it doesn't see Han Solo or Luke turn 1 against any decently constructed Dark Side deck. Sometimes, even when you do see them you will still lose. The DS gets wayyy too much card advantage from its cards, primarily its objectives, and will just defend and camp the force struggle until you attack, fail, and lose half your stuff. Then they will attack objectives 1 at a time until the dial caps.

I am currently unbeaten with Straight Sith because of this, and while I can occasionally win with LS using Jedi against similar decks, its less than a 10% chance. The feared 'Rebel Fleet' deck has never beaten my sith, in any incarnation.

Light side really needs some help in the form of a innate way to overcome early edge battles and more targeted strike-type of effects to keep the DS from swarming. Common starts for DS right now are stuff like AT-ST, hvy Stormtrooper squad and another small dude, or Kuat security force, Royal Guard, Espos keeping 4-5 cards in their hand because of the card draw from Council of the Sith, Recon Mission, AT-STs, etc. You really cant just balls into that with scrubs. Even with Luke/Han it can be scary because the game degenerates quickly if they die right then/there.

Just my 2 cents right now. Looking forward to the force packs.
