    Have you considered putting your decks into the SWTCG deck-builder at http://www.deck-builder.net ? (IE Required) That will tell you lots of cool things like your average speed and build cost.

    It is a pretty awesome program. It is great for stats that help you build the deck. I will post a review of your deck very soon, when I get a chance. I was actually planning on running it through the deckbuilder to get a good idea on very important deck stats like Average build cost, # of rares (how expensive is it to make?). If you have a chance to run it through the DB, do it. It will enlighten you on a lot of stuff.

    Off the bat it looks the starter decks. Did you just take the starter decks and change a few cards?

    LS:
    It could use a few more anakins and maybe a yoda.

    DS:
    It could use a few more tyranus' and a better jango.

    I ran these through deckbuilder before you added more cards, but here is what I got on your old list.

    OK, Ready to behold the awesomness that is SWTCG Deckbuilder?

    Let's take your decks you posted above. It is a random list of cards, not broken down into types, etc. There are no stats such as # of cards in each arena, Average Build cost, etc. (I am not being critical, just setting this up for what it CAN look like)

    Now, here are your decks on Deckbuilder:

    This format is a bit easier to read and provides valuable data about the decks. I have to agree these look a lot like the starters.

    You have basically got some decks you can have some fun spirited games with and get a good feel for the game, but to be legal decks, you need to follow the deckbuilding rules.

    Should be at least 60 cards.
    At least 12 in each arena
    No more than double the cards in one arena then another (example: if you have 12 in one arena, the other can be as much as 24, but not 25 since that is more than double)
    No more than 4 copioes of any one particular card

    I think that is all of them, consult the rulebook to be sure.

    After you get some more cards, you can add to this to flesh it out some but for now they are still playable and you will have some fun with them.

    Thanks. I should really get more cards, but hey deck building is a slow but fun process. Thanks for running those through for me...
    I think I take for my Darkside deck: Power of The Darkside.
    For my Lightside: Knights Of The Republic.
    Those are okay for now, but if anyone thinks of a good one post it here okeday!
