Strategy
By Clint Prong, Gold 93[1]
I had traded away all of my DS Landos because he got converted every time I tried to deploy him. Boy, am I regretting that now! A Real Hero finally makes DS Lando a potential weapon against the LS.
The card has two parts. First, the Used Interrupt portion allows you to go get Lobot from your reserve deck and recycle a destiny 4. Lobot is the key to keeping Lando on the table long enough to use the Lost Interrupt portion of the card. After all, the Special Edition has made having Lando on the table rather beneficial. One of the many DS benefits is that you gain 3 force for winning Cloud City Sabacc with Lando at the Cloud City: Casino. In summation, the used portion of the card allows you to deploy power: 7 for deploy: 5 when you deploy DS Lando and Lobot together to a Cloud City location with a scomp link (if you hadn't noticed that's all of the Cloud City sites) while recycling your 4 destiny.
Second, the lost portion of the card protects Lando while he is on Cloud City, and makes him as tough to oust from Cloud City as the trilogy depicts. Lando now receives the benefit of 2 extra battle destiny whenever he is battling at a Cloud City site. However, suppose you have Lando off of Cloud City. Then you can still cancel one of your opponent's battle destinies if you are battling against Han.
The myriad of combinations that this card offers is mind boggling. Allow me to illustrate with just a few potential scenarios at any Cloud City site:
Lando + A Real Hero (Lost) = 2 battle destiny
Lando + any other character + A Real Hero (Lost) = 3 battle destiny
Lando +A Real Hero (Used) = DS Lando cannot be replaced
Lando + Darth Vader + Luke + A Real Hero +I Have You Now = 5 battle destiny with +1 to each
Lando + any other character + A Real Hero + Reactor Terminal + 3 Visage Of The Emperor + a bit of recycling = an opponent in need of a Bacta Tank and a Mantellian Savrip
Lando + Comlink + You Overestimate Their Chances + A Real Hero + react deploy of Darth Vader and 6 or 7 Stormtroopers + Trooper Assault + Dark Jedi Presence = an opponent looking for his Houjix.
