Strategy

Disclaimer: There are no V cards b/c my friends are lazy and won't print them for me, and I don't own a printer. However any suggestions on which V cards to use would be appreciated!

Basic Overall Strategy:

Cancel drains with strategic reserves, set up beats with Vader + guards, retrieve with abyssin. In space, I know this deck is a bit vulnerable, but Thrawn on the Executor holds things down fairly well. Chiraneau's in their to add to your space drains. Besides IC, there aren't destiny adding interupts, but I feel they are unnecessary as guards defending battles add when armed with pikes. I haven't turned luke, but it's pretty fun to try!

First turn/early game:

Pull Palpy, Executor, Emperor's Power, and D*II db. Palpy goes home (Throne Room). Continue to pull the dbs and try and get a substantial force their ASAP, as the extra activation is very necessary. Obviously deploy Vader to a bg as quickly as possible.

Mid Game/End Game:

Cancel drains with SR, but remember to deploy the guards to Palpy's site...I lost a game b/c I forgot to do that once(darn it!!).

Try and get Kashyyk out and set the Executor up there with Chiraneau and Thrawn to get your drain of three on. Besides Vader + BFBH + Tarkin + Guards = fun beat squad, so go lay smack down on any of those pesky lightside ground characters. If you the opportunity to capture Luke, use RMF to get him to Palpy's site post haste. Other than, this is a pretty straight forward deck to play.
