Strategy

The tendency of most players I've met is to groan when they pull this card form a pack of the Hoth expansion. What can I say, I love this card. It's a 6 destiny, used interrupt that can do some nasty, nasty damage! The card allows you to "target a creature vehicle at same site as a creature. If ferocity > target's maneuver + landspeed, creature vehicle is eaten, cumulatively adding 2 to creature's ferocity." Let's see how we can put this to good use.
First, deploy a Wampa, for free, to the Wampa cave. Then put a few Banthas outside (to answer the question I hear every time I do this, no Banthas do NOT deploy only to Tatooine!). During your move phase, the Wampa goes outside to find a few tasty morsels hanging around. Target the first one and draw destiny. As long as you draw a 1, the Bantha is eaten, (Wampa is ferocity 3 + destiny). After that you don't need to worry about missing a draw! Eat a few more, then set the Wampa loose against your opponent!
Hoth offers the Dark Side some great Force drain and fighting locations. Once you have a 9 + destiny ferocity Wampa running loose, you'll find those AT-ATs to be wonderful havens and your opponent will be wishing he had a snowspeeder or two to hide in! The Wampa attacks anything present at the same site, so the Light Side undercover spies won't stand a chance, and you can keep draining without hindrance! And if your opponent decides to stand and fight, you can thin his forces before a shot is fired (Remember, creature attacks occur at the beginning of EVERY battle phase). Even if an opponent's character survives a Wampa attack, that character can't participate in any battles that turn.
COMBO: Wampa + 4 Banthas + 4 Yaggle Gaggles = 11 + destiny ferocity!! Obi-who?!?
