	\|strategy=~~''Decipher card strategy'' (starred on the Premiere Dark card list)~~.		\|strategy=David A. Nanninga

	~~David A~~. ~~Nanninga~~		This card can be one of the deadliest cards in the game when used properly. The card text states that you can destroy a weapon by drawing destiny less than the destiny of the weapon. Also, if the destiny is 0 the character carrying the weapon is also lost. [[Overload]] is the best way to take care of those pesky saber weilding characters hiding out on [[Dagobah]]. All you have to do is draw a 0 and [[Son Of Skywalker]] carrying his saber and [[Lightsaber Proficiency]] are all gone.

	~~This card can be~~ one ~~of the deadliest cards in the game when used~~		And if your opponent is training SOS, then he's going to have to lose about four cards to your one [[Overload]]. That's good card economy there. So, how hard is it to rig that 0? Well, there are a number of good ways to get it done. If using an odds deck, then you could use [[R2-Q2 (Artoo-Kyootoo){{!}}R2-Q2]] who lets you look at the top three cards during your draw phase. One of the most popular ways is by using the Dark Path. I'm not a real big fan of this card though, as it requires that you lose 2 cards in the process.

	~~And if your opponent is training SOS, then he's going~~ to ~~have to~~		Another way to rig the destiny is through the use of [[Labria]], who lets you look at top card of your reserve deck during your control phase. If the top card is Ozzel or a location, it's goodbye Anakin's stick and [[Luke Skywalker{{!}}Luke]]! As is [[R2-Q2 (Artoo-Kyootoo){{!}}R2-Q2]], [[Labria]] is a destiny of 3 and fits quite nicely into an odds deck. When playing a deck such as asteroid-odds in which you're probably going to have about 15 locations you should definitely include a couple of overloads in your arsenal (especially since a [[Dagobah]] deck can hurt the drain bonuses up in the fields).
