Boonta Eve Podrace is a Light Epic Event from Tatooine.
Card Text
Deploy on Podrace Arena. Once per game, either player may initiate a Podrace: During opponent's control phase, each player may draw one race destiny. Each player may place any drawn race destiny on their Podracer (or on Podrace Arena if they have none) or in their Used Pile. During any move phase, winner is any player with a race total > 24 and greater than opponent's highest race total. Winner retrieves 6 Force and loser loses 6 Force. Place all race destiny cards in owner's Used Piles and all Podracers are lost.
Lore
Strategy
The Boonta Eve Podrace was the climax of the trip into Mos Espa. But this card, combined with the new Starting Interrupt Start Your Engines, makes podracing a nice side theme for almost any deck. Once the race is begun, both players compete, even if they don't have a podracer at the arena – though having one certainly ups your chances.
Why wouldn't you start the race with the first turn? The race can be over in as little as 4 Dark Side turns with good draws, even faster if you've got a podracer at the arena. You may not have lost 6 force by then to retrieve, so you may be better off waiting a few turns. Also to make the most out of your podracing experience – and to be sure you'll win – you'll want to make sure that you have cards like Watto's Box, and a handful of Sebulba's dirty tricks like Pit Crews and Podracer Collision before you start.
Combos

- Boonta Eve Podrace + Neck And Neck
- Boonta Eve Podrace + Tatooine: Podracer Bay
- Boonta Eve Podrace + I Did It!
Rulings
- Winner of podrace is determined automatically during any move phase.[2]
- Cards that are 'destiny +X when drawn for destiny' (e.g. due to Biker Scout Gear) do not apply that destiny bonus while stacked as a race destiny.
