The next set on the hit parade of the new Star Wars Legion card packs is the Mercenary set. Same quality as the other sets, but you get a twofer!
This one is a little different than the others, as there is only one combined deck that includes commanders and units. As there are very few options for this list, it makes sense they would put it together. Good news, if you are a Mercenary player!
The unit cards are of the same format and rock quality artwork, as is to be expected.
The units follow the same format as the other decks with three core, two specialist, two support and one support. Once again, if you want to maximize, you will have to buy a second set. This set will leave you with more extras, if you do that, as you will get the commanders too. You then get all the mercenary characters you would expect. Overall, the set covers all the minis released to date.
The command cards also cover all the characters and a generic activation deck.
Finally, there are the specific upgrade cards for the units and characters. There are enough for all the unit cards, so you are fully covered. However, like all the other decks, no generic cards are included.
Another nice set if you are card use inclined. As with the others, you will need to buy two sets, if you want to maximize. If you just want representational cards for units, one set is enough. As indicated above, if you double up to maximize your units, you will end up with more extra cards than the other set. This is balanced in that it is a single set and you save a little money, by not having to buy separate sets for command. Your call!
