How's this for a post-IE Kazdan squad? I tried to hunt and see if anyone had posted one like this already, but I couldn't find it. Nothing terribly original here, but could be brutal. You get 50 points of Reserves on either an 11 or a 20. Rolling an Eleven would let you put 25 Mouse Droids on the board (not that I would encourage anyone to do that, lol). If you bring in a RBSV for the first time you roll an 11, you could use his CE to force people to target Palpatine, and hope for the Betrayal.

Seriously though, with pieces like the Chameleon Droid, Lancer Droid, and now the Mouse Droid, it looks like Kazdan could stand a chance once again.

Are the builds with less tech and more offense (Rex or an X-1 or something like that) better than this one?

I've never felt that Palps was worthwhile using, but Lobot and Kaz mesh really well. now you get reserves on 5 numbers, and recon to boot.

Rex instead of Palps would be an easy swap, and leaves with 4 points to play with. Double override is handy, looks like some fun as long as you're rolling what you need.

They might not have been searchable on bloomilk because i posted them each before Aaron had Lobot loaded, and forgot to go back and change it.

Both are versions of the two Kaz 200 squads i run now, and both work better than palps. He just isn't worth it for that cost.
