Does this game defy accepted deck-building doctrine?

I have a jedi deck that i really want Ben in, but i cant give up the "In you must go" to justify the Mind Trick and the Ben, i just wanna pull luke/red5/redemption as fast as possible and any cards getting in the way of my luke/yoda are just not worth it.

I know Redemption is 5, but as for Luke/Ben/Yoda, I played an ultra tight game where I only had 4 resources the whole game.  Yoda was out.  Yoda died. Return of the Yoda.  Luke.  Buff Yoda.  Win.  Two characters out and that was it.  Ben was only good for Edge that game, and his 5 cost was what made that the case.  If you realiably can get your 5th resource out, (which if you're running Redemption) you'll be fine, but there's a lot to be said for a max cost of 4.  You can always play every card you draw, often times two cards, one zero cost trick, and two or three cards for the edge battle.  If you're taking your time until you can destroy and objective with one strike, that gives you turn after turn of slow build and control of the force.

both deck suggestions from ffg have you using 2 cores. helps you zero in on a strategy. wonder how they're going to do the expansions? are they going to make you buy multiple expansions to get multiple objectives that you want in  your deck. I wish thrones did the 3 of a kind thing from the start!

 

As was already said earlier in this thread and also in FFGs announcement of the expansion cycles. You get two of each objective set except for the ones that say limit of 1 per deck. And it wasn't just Thrones that started the other way and then changed to 3 of each and Thrones has reprinted everything to be 3 of each card.
