			[[Darth Maul]] has loyalty only to [[Darth Sidious]] and the Dark Side of the Force. This unwavering devotion is represented by [[Maul]]'s unique icon, which is neither alien nor Imperial. [[Maul]]'s high deploy cost is comfortably offset by the reduced deploy to [[Tatooine (Dark){{!}}Tatooine]], and is reduced even further if he deploys to the [[Tatooine: Hutt Trade Route (Desert){{!}}Desert]] Landing Site.

			[[Maul]]'s built-in dueling text seems risky with both players drawing the same number of destiny, but adding a duel destiny with a card like [[Focused Attack]] and setting up a high destiny draw with [[Maul's Electrobinoculars]] can quickly swing the duel in the Dark Jedi's favor.

			Of course, [[Maul]] is incredibly focused thanks to his thirst for revenge against the Jedi. As a result, most characters that aren't Force Attuned are beneath his notice. This is reflected in his gametext that kicks in if none of the Light Side characters at his location have ability of 4 or greater. At such a location, the Light Side's total ability is zero. In other words, the Light Side has no presence at this location, and thus cannot battle or be battled. In addition, it means that the Light Side will need to come up with an ability 4 or higher character in order to block [[Maul]]'s Force drains.

			Meanwhile, [[Maul]] with his Lightsaber and [[Sniper]] can gradually whittle away the Light Side's characters at his site. When combined with Sith Probe Droids and [[I Will Find Them Quickly, Master]], [[Maul]] becomes an Amidala-capturing machine, reflecting his other major focus in [[The Phantom Menace]]: to locate and detain the Queen.
