Strategy

Turn one: Activate 6, get a CC site. Wokling gets CC Celebration, if you started Wokling. Draw if you want, I don't recommend it. Turn two: Activate 8. You now have 11 force. Get last CC site. Third turn: Activate 11. Flip with some people. Pick a card. Get db. Fourth turn: Activate, Deploy CC Celebration, pick a card. Fifth turn: Activate, pick a card, retrieve, beatdown. Just keep repeating the process. Basically, just set up on CC a few people (Arconas if you can), and beatdown with the other people. QMC is pretty straightforward. Flash (V)- you can pull it almost every turn and get a card back. Good?

Matchups:

Dark Deal: Fight for space hard- starting DDTA just may win you the fight. You’ll definitely have dominance on the ground, though.

COTVG: You definitely have beatdown capabilities playing against this deck. But watch out for the BH ships!

Hunt Down: Avoid the duels, obviously. That makes it harder to beatdown, so mainly stick on CC. Try to TT his Visage as soon as possible.

CCT: You know- kill the person escorting Han.

ROps: He probably won't come to you, and it will be hard for you to go to him, and he has the capability to shut down all your drains. So go to him.

BHBM: YOU win the battles.

AOBS: Make Xizor sautéed toast.

Watto: Totally dedicate your resources to creaming Watto. Spend 8 to use him, then beatdown his backup if you want. Beatdown vs. Beatdown. Scrambled Trans prevents bluffing.

Combat: No Jedi, whatever you do! That leaves Lando, Han, and Chewie to take care of his DJs. Hmm, maybe you better stay on CC. But play the Affect Mind shield, anyway.

Senate: Scrambled Trans nicely wraps up his political effects, so you have an even fight. QMC’s pretty good at even fights : )

Walkers: Mech Failure.

Other things- do your thing.
