Polarized Negative Power Coupling is a Light Effect from Dagobah.

Card Text

Deploy on table. Turn every Used Pile face up. All subsequent cards placed in Used Piles are also turned face up. (Players must commit to using cards before revealing them.) Turn used cards face down whenever they are re-circulated.

Lore

Imbalance in a converter's inverse energy field can improperly polarize the negative axis, causing hyperdrive failure. Replacement often requires an inverted engineer.

Strategy

By Boba Fett

This Light Side effect is one of my favorite cards from Dagobah, hands down. It has a myriad of uses, some of which are quite obvious, while others are oh so subtle. Once Polarized Negative Power Coupling hits the table, both players' Used Piles are placed face up, and any cards moved into the Used Pile are face up. This not only lets you see the cards of your deck, it allows you to spy on your opponent's deck, and see what type of strategies he is running. This can be an overwhelming advantage, because if you dont see any starships in his deck, you know you can control the stars with little trouble. If he's running all space, you can spread thin at sites and drain a ton.

One combo that is made easy to pull off is Polarized Negative Power Coupling and Visored Vision. We all know that some folks love to play five Dark Maneuvers in a row in order to stack big destiny draws together, but Visored Vision makes them lose Force for each named interrupt sitting in their Used Pile. See your opponent's The Circle is Now Complete go into the Used Pile? Use Visored Vision lost and send it to his Lost Pile.

Another combo I like is to set Yoda out at his hut, and play Jedi Levitation to pull any one card out of your Used Pile into your hand, for only the cost of losing the Levitation. (The cost is 7-X, where X represents the ability of your highest ability character on table.) So, you have Luke in hand but can't seem to get ahold of his stick? Oh, it just went into Used Pile, well, I'll Jedi Levitate it right into my hand. And with Figrin out and a Reflecting Leia, you are constantly retrieving two Force a turn, plus, getting a chance to see eight of your cards go into the Used Pile. (Four from the gamble, four from the Reflection.) Polarized Negative Power Coupling is a great card, and does not take a whole lot of resources in order to cause your opponent tons of frustration, and some Force loss as well.
