This usually means drafting mostly Rebels since most Endor Rebels are scouts. Also, doing this reduces your reliance on Ewoks and makes the opponent's cards which target Ewoks a little less effective. The more common use for this interrupt is the Used portion. Adding up to 6 attrition can really help clear out the site, especially in draft where the opponent is likely to have low forfeit characters. The lost version can also be useful. You can use it to save an undercover spy
