You'll Find I'm Full Of Surprises is a Light Interrupt (Lost Interrupt) from Tatooine.
Card Text
If Luke and Vader present at same site, use 1 Force to initiate a duel between them. Either is power +2 if armed with a lightsaber. Draw destiny. Opponent draws two destiny. Both players add power. Loser is placed out of play.
Lore
Even though he wasn't fully prepared to face the Dark Lord of the Sith, Luke rushed to save his friends.
Strategy
At first glance, you might say, "Hey, why would I play this card?" After all, although it gives the Light Side a chance to duel, it automatically starts you at a disadvantage, giving the Dark Side two destiny to your one. And although having Luke placed out of play might seem appealing versus a Bring Him Before Me deck, you can't play this card when that Objective is out (due to the Objective's card text).
So what's the point? Well, if you're willing to devote a few extra cards to your Mains deck, this card can certainly be an unwelcome surprise for the Dark Side. Most decks carry a Vader or three, so devoting a bit of your strategy to this card can usually be effective. And it is a 6 Destiny card, so it will always have that bit of usefulness. Now, play two or three of these cards in your deck, and you've got some of the high destiny you need to succeed with this card.
Also, pack Courage of Skywalker to give you another destiny to even things out a bit with the old Dark Lord. And let's not forget Glancing Blow, which allows you to cancel one of the Dark Side's duelling destiny draws or, if you play You'll Find I'm Full of Surprises during the weapons segment of a battle, you can use Glancing Blow to nail Vader's power, knocking it to an unmodifiable zero, which means he won't even get the +2 power from holding his lightsaber granted by the Interrupt. Suddenly, Vader's chances of winning have become quite slim, and it looks like he's going away for a very long time.
Having this sort of a side strategy not only lets you beat up Luke's favorite sparring partner, but also gives you a plethora of cards to defend yourself during duels initiated by the Dark Side with such cards as Epic Duel or new cards like Darth Maul.
Some new Tatooine cards that can help you win the day versus Vader include A Jedi's Focus: which lets you add the destiny of the top card of the Lost Pile to your total, A Jedi's Patience: which lets you redraw one of your bad duelling destiny draws, and most importantly, A Jedi's Resilience, which allows you to cancel a duel AFTER you've lost it AND take the duelling card back into your hand!
But watch out for the new Dark Side card, Lightsaber Parry, or your duel might suddenly become very expensive!
