Ah, [[Elis Helrot]].

It brings me back to the heady days of the "just Premier" tournaments of old, where this, and the Light Side's counterpart [[Nabrun Leids]], was the single best way to get around.

All you had to do was pack a few of these babies into your deck and you could effectively have [[Darth Vader{{!}}Vader]], [[Grand Moff Tarkin{{!}}Tarkin]] and a mass of other insanely powerful characters appear virtually anywhere on the table, virtually out of nowhere!

The only safe haven the Light Side had was in space, where Elis didn't make his rounds.

After the [[A New Hope]] expansion, Elis ran into a serious dilemma, a card called [[Quite A Mercenary]]. Then [[I Have A Bad Feeling About This]], suddenly made Elis transport the wrong personnel.

Since then, Elis has seen less and less action. Frankly the risk of losing your characters after transport, or having the wrong characters transported in the first place, was far too great to justify the card slots.

But, fear not, fellow transporters! There are ways to make [[Elis Helrot]] a much more safe and effective means of transport. How? Well, notice how it costs Force to make either [[Quite A Mercenary]] or I Have A Bad Feeling work (2 and 3 Force, respectively). So, keep an eye on the Light Side's Force Pile. You could also take a look to see what the Light Side has got in store for you with [[Scanning Crew]], [[Frustration]], or even [[M'iiyoom Onith]] or Monnock (watch out for [[Shocking Information]] however).

So, the Light Side has [[Quite A Mercenary]] and a few Force ready to use it, and you really want to go pound on that lone [[Tibanna Gas Miner]] he's using to drain you to death. What do you do? Find a way to make him spend that Force. Jawas are nice, [[Dathcha]] is better, [[Jawa Pack]] can work also. [[Broken Concentration]] is the most versatile, however, as not only does it allow you to diminish his Force pile, it also works well against Jedi Training decks (and, trust me, you'll see one, at one time or another).

Another strategy hint is to try to [[Elis Helrot]] during your [[Control]] phase or Deploy phase. At least, that way, you'll have enough Force to perform damage control should things go sour.

Combos:

*[[Elis Helrot]] + any number of powerful characters = The boys on Star Trek never had it so good!

*[[Broken Concentration]] + [[Elis Helrot]] + any number of powerful characters = Deploy Concentration, reduce the Light Side's stockpiled Force, use Elis, then deploy more charactes... Let the slaughter begin!!!
|rulings=* The destiny draw and cost are paid during initiation, and then responses (e.g. [[Sense (Dark){{!}}Sense]]) may take place.<ref name="scomp">https://scomp.starwarsccg.org/?s=Elis%20Helrot</ref>
* If retargeted by [[I Have A Bad Feeling About This]], it must EITHER select new characters to be transported OR select a new destination site.
* If using [[I Have A Bad Feeling About This]] to choose new characters, the new characters may be at the same origin site or a different origin site, but it cannot include any of the original characters.
|canceled_by=* [[It's A Hit!]]
* [[Quite A Mercenary]] makes all characters transported by [[Elis Helrot]] lost
