Dark Side Rare 2 (A New Hope)
Leia Seekers can do a great deal to strengthen Death Star site defense. They actually work best in a deck that intends to use the Death Star Mobile System to do some planet busting. The Leia Seekers, combined with Death Star Gunners and Imperial Trooper Guards, can provide a pretty formidable first line of defense. With some luck, the Leia Seekers will come up in time to deploy them on the Death Star sites, and then deploy DS characters. This brand of seeker also has no effect on any of the DS spies, so the DS can also deploy Labria, Garindan, 5D6-RA-7, and U-3PO as a security force, along with some Nevar Yalnal in hand to prevent the LS spies from gaining a foothold.
Leia Seekers can also be utilized as a formidable offensive weapon. Almost all Rebel characters are warriors of ability less than three, so they are all subject to the Leia Seeker. As the ruling presently stands, it is legal to transport seekers using Elis Helrot, so no site is out of reach. A round of seeker transports can make a fine lead in to an attack. The DS can get rid of the high forfeit Rebel pilot/warriors with a few Leia Seekers, and then declare a battle and use the attrition to get rid of Han or Luke.
Cards to watch out for: Remote
Combos:
Leia Seekers + DS Spies + Nevar Yalnal. Total DS site defense. Of course, it doesn't hurt to include Vader and Tarkin in case the Death Star: Docking Bay, Trash Compactor, or Level 6 sites are deployed by the LS.
Leia Seekers + Elis Helrot. Hey, what's that humming noise?
Leia Seekers + All three Docking Bays. With the DBs out, there is really no way for the LS player to escape from the Seeker, save Nabrun Leids. Just walk across the site line until the Seeker catches up. This brings new meaning to the term 'Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.'
Hey, you can't do that Combo:
Leia Seekers + Corellian Corvette or Millenium Falcon + LS Unique Starfighters with pilots. When the LS brings the Rebel Navy to Tatooine with some Corellian backup, use the ship docking capability to shuttle the Seekers onto the various starfighters.
