Here's the first deck in the revised Geektopia series:
GRIEVOUS, JEDI HUNTER
Inspiration: It's called Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and to a lesser degree, the original animated "Clone Wars" series.
This is an amalgam of Scott Hagarty's Grievous design (which was based almost entirely upon Episode III) and Rich Pizor's Grievous design (which I think was based more off the cartoon). This deck combines what I believe are the best elements of those 2 decks. The aspect of the deck that is the most fun is the 4 arms, credit Rich for that concept.
Of all the custom decks we've created, this one might be the most fun. It has been changed some over the years but not much because it's always been fun, balanced, and representative of its characters.
JEDI HUNTER GRIEVOUS
16 HP
Blue Deck
2x MAGNAGUARDS
5 HP Each
Minor Blue Deck (standard strong melee minor)
Note: Grievous starts with 4 arms. For every 4 HP Grievous loses, he loses an arm.
Grievous
3x Jedi Hunter. A2*. Multiply this value by the number of sabers Grievous currently has.
3x General's Orders. Move Grievous up to 5 spaces. Then move Magnaguard 1 up to 5 spaces. Then move Magnaguard 2 up to 5 spaces. Draw a card.
2x Cowardly Defense. D*. If any Magnaguards are still alive, Grievous exchanges places with one of them, and takes no damage from the attack. Instead, the moved Magnaguard becomes the target of the attack and takes full damage.
2 x Twirling Saber Charge. Move Grievous up to 3 spaces in one direction. Any characters adjacent to any square in Grievous' path (includes starting and ending spaces) receive 3 damage (only once per character).
1x You Lose, Jedi. A5. After this attack is resolved, move Grievous to any unoccupied space.
1x Unorthodox Attack. A6. Any defense played against this card is reduced in half, rounding down.

Re: Grievous, Jedi Hunter
Would you consider dropping a GENERAL'S ORDERS in favor of a card which allows him to use his Blaster? If you think this is a bad idea, by all means ignore it.
Choose a character Grievous could attack at range.
Inflict 1 direct damage for each space between
Grievous and that
character.However, this character
may defend as normal to reduce this
damage.
Re: Grievous, Jedi Hunter
I've never cared for that card and I still don't but thanks for the suggestion. If you want, you can use this deck and tweak it with that card.
Guess what? I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!
Re: Grievous, Jedi Hunter
That settles it! The exacto blade will remove the blaster from my Grievous figure. The BLASTER CARD will not exist. Some common Jedi SWMG figure will give up their lightsaber and give it to Grievous. Thanks for the response. I was on the edge and that little nudge sent me over to your side.
