Star Realms - Command DLC

Pretty much kills the tactical element of combining cards. Basically introducing cards that combine with almost anything, removing the huge reward for building a specific fleet. From here downwards, all the DLC just add unbalanced and lazily thought out cards. Its a cashgrab from here onwards.

[Note: I play plenty of this in on my phone rather than Steam] Easily the better of the two dual-faction expansions, in my estimation. Triggering 2 factions, or being triggered by both factions, is their main draw, but many of these cards work pretty well in even a 1-color build. You may note that in this and the other expansion, there is no Star Empire + Machine Cult faction, nor Trade Fed + Blob (my favorite combo! :( :( :( ) Since WWG doesn't really fully fill you in on what you're grabbing, please see below: Explanation: C=Combat, HP=Authority, T=Trade Trade Fed / Star Empire = Alliance Ship - Alliance Frigate: 3-cost; 4C, yellow faction +3C, blue faction +4HP <- [i]this is a beast of a card even in 1-color decks![/i] Outpost Base - Alliance Landing: 5-cost; 2T; faction (either) +2C; 5 hit points <- [i]it's okay in decks of its intended color; unimpressive otherwise[/i] Blob + Machine Cult = Unity Ship - Unity Fighter: 1-cost; 3C, scrap a card in trade row; scrap to scrap a card in hand or discard. <- [i]This is basically a War Elder hero in ship format. A pretty good early game card that self-scraps, so no risk in grabbing it regardless of whatever faction you're building into.[/i] Outpost Base - Unity Station: 7-cost, scrap 1, and scrap a card in trade row; faction (either) +4C. 6 hit points. <- more expensive Junkyard with some extra bells and whistles. Works okay in any deck for the auto-scrapping. Trade Fed + Machine Cult = Coalition: Ship - Coalition Freighter: 4-cost; 3T; blue faction, put the next ship this turn on deck; red faction, scrap 1. <- [i]Wait, a freighter that also scraps? Yes please! Needs more Cult ships to keep that scrapping going, though.[/i] Outpost Base - Coalition Fortress: 6-cost; 2T; faction (either) +2C OR +2HP; 6 hit points <- underwhelming, only decent as a damage sponge. Star Empire + Blob = Union Ship - Assault Pod: 2-cost; 3C; faction (either) Draw 1 <- [i]runs well even in blob-only decks for the Draw 1; basically another blob fighter.[/i] Base - Union Cluster: 7-cost; 4C; faction (either) Draw 1; 8 hit points <- [i]works better than it looks on paper, and good even in yellow-only or green-only decks; the 8 hp makes it a hard kill.[/i]
