Reflections III

Reflections III was the last "reflection" set that Decipher released. The Reflection sets {Reflections, Reflections II, and this one, Reflections III} included foils of previously released card. (an example would be a Disarmed from Premier, now released as a foil).

The set also contained premium cards as well, that were in the booster packs. Each pack had random cards, a random foil, and 3 premium cards.

Reflections III introduced a few new mechanics to SW:CCG. First, it introduced a new card type:


 * Defensive Shield

Defensive Shields were basically a side-board for counters to the more abusive strategies in SW:CCG.

There was also a new sub-type of an effect:


 * Starting Effect

The starting effect was what let the Defensive Shields be played for better capacity in a player's deck.

The new mechanics introduced were:


 * Lightsaber Combat
 * Maintence Costs

Lightsaber Combat: Lightsaber combat was introduced along with the objectives for it. It depicted the duel from Naboo, and was intended to be a longer version of dueling (as dueling is already in the game).

Maintence Cost: The maintence cost (or, known as Upkeep in Magic) is a way to balance more powerful cards, by giving them a requirement to stay on table.

Reflections III was the next-to-last set released by Decipher.
