The main drawbacks of this card are the new cards that Decipher has created, which specifically counteract the powerful effects of [[Revolution]]. The Light Side player must be prepared with multiple [[Sense]] and [[Control]] cards to defend [[Revolution]] against [[Evader]] or [[Surprise]] , and may find it impossible to counter the very popular [[Imperial Decree]]. On a positive note, [[Revolution]] is not cancelled by [[Imperial Decree]], just "ignored." Late in a game, if the Light Side prevails and the conditions for [[Imperial Decree]] cannot be met, the Dark Side will suffer the effects of [[Revolution]] again!
