[[Electrobinoculars]] (EB) is one of the most versatile cards in SW:CCG. It would be difficult to imagine a deck where this card is not useful. Any type of strategy, be it high battle destiny, weapons, or an interrupt laden philosophy, can benefit from the presence of EB. One of the often overlooked advantages of EB is that the only way to counter the effect is to eliminate the character carrying the device. The ability to control destiny draws can make a decisive difference in many games. There are a vast number of combos which utilize the destiny control ability of EB. Be warned that the limited version of EB is a misprint and should read one to deploy, two to use.

Combos:

EB + Spys + any of [[Double Agent]] or I'm Here to Rescue You or [[Sabotage]]. Use your spys to the fullest when you know the draws will succeed. [[Double Agent]] to destroy DS spys(even [[Undercover]]). Free the captives on the [[Death Star]] with I'm Here to Rescue You. Finally, use EB to make sure there are no 0 destinies waiting, and [[Sabotage]] [[Vader's Lightsaber]].

EB + [[Timer Mine]]. Insure the destruction of a large DS taskforce by using EB to find a 5 or 6 for the [[Timer Mine]] destiny draw.

EB + [[Kabe]] or [[Wioslea]]. Thieves and gamblers like to have the inside information when they work. Use EB to insure you can get that droid [[Wioslea]] had his eye on or that shiny new [[Dark Jedi Lightsaber]] [[Kabe]] was looking at. [[Wioslea]] can also use EB to get the most for the droid he sells when using [[Spaceport Speeders]].

EB + [[Surprise Assault]]. Sting the DS player by [[Surprise]] Assaulting that [[Imperial Trooper Guard]] and then flipping over the 6 destiny card you found with EB.

EB + [[Panic]]. Use the EB to bring Obi or [[Luke Skywalker{{!}}Luke]] to the top of the reserve deck. When the DS launches an attack at any site, give your defense a little more punch. Or maybe a lot more punch.

EB + weapons or destiny adders. The most basic use of EB is to find a high destiny card to power a weapon or destiny draw. While basic, this is still extremely powerful. The DS gets pretty annoyed when a [[Rebel Trooper]] with a [[Blaster Rifle]] takes out [[Darth Vader{{!}}Vader]].

EB + [[Death Star Plans]] or [[On The Edge]]. Insure the maximum return for DS Plans by finding a nice destiny for the first card. EB takes a lot of the worry out of using [[On The Edge]] to regenerate force. EB can also help [[Figrin D'an]] stack the cards.

EB + [[Sense]] or [[Alter]]. If you can't get Obi or [[Luke Skywalker{{!}}Luke]] out, use EB to insure the success of your [[Sense]] or [[Alter]] by finding a low destiny value.

EB + Collision. Another EB use for the low destiny draw can even out the odds a bit in a [[Death Star]] fight. Play a couple of Collisions and watch as those TIEs and Imperial Star Destroyers go careening into one another.

Just plain fun Combo:

EB + [[Cantina Brawl]]. Won't the Emperor be annoyed when he hears that [[Darth Vader{{!}}Vader]] was taken out by a flying [[Juri Juice]] mug in the [[Tatooine: Cantina{{!}}Cantina]] after you use the EB to find a 6 destiny!
