Strategy
First Turn: Pull Carida, ditch YCHF & MP for Sec Prec (V). Get COR db, move to flip, draw for Barrier/Projective. Second Turn: SPort db goes to Coruscant. NOT OPPONENT’S PLANET. Sec Prec (V) goes on the Cor db. You can understand much about this deck by card explanations, so here goes. First of all, with Desijilic and Maliss, almost all your characters are defense value+2 and forfeit+4. Therefore, just one SHOULD satisfy all attrition/battle damage you take from a battle. Also with Desijilic, forfeit –2 and top card of Reserve Deck lost when you hit someone with a non-permanent weapon is good, even if only for Aurra. Now for card types. First, Characters:
4-LOM With Concussion Rifle: Simple enough. Blank someone’s text.
Aurra Sing: If you look at the top cards of your Reserve Deck and you see something high, make a Jedi power=0 (or just cancel his immunity)! Also her power and ability 4 always are handy.
Boba Fett, Bounty Hunter x3: Add two destiny.
Bossk With Mortar Gun x2: See a 1 in your deck? Capture somebody!
Dengar With Blaster Carbine x2: Shoot twice.
Guri: If someone tries to kill Xizor, come down with HER (if droids can be called him/her). Also Power 6. Oh, Switch Off can keep her, and consequently Xizor alive.
IG-88 (V): Pick a card from your force pile- take your pick! It’s not that hard to capture someone! If he has a captive, defense value 9!
IG-88 With Riot Gun: Capture someone, add a destiny.
Prince Xizor: Just a backup Xizor.
P-59: Just a plain good card. Hear?
Snoova: Capture someone, Power 6. It’s not hard to capture someone with his Vibro-Ax, high destiny, and Power 6 (7 with the Ax).
Next for the interrupts:
Human Shield x3: You HAVE noticed how much capturing potential this deck has, right?
Imperial Barrier x3: Evasion, part of the Watto evasion package.
Jabba’s Through With You x4: Add a destiny for Snoova, IG(V), or Aurra, or get IG(V) or Aurra their weapon.
Oh, Switch Off: Protects IG-88, Guri, 4-LOM, or P-59.
Oota-goota Solo?: Anti-WYS. Meta.
Projective Telepathy: Evasion, part of the Watto evasion package.
Sacrifice x2: All your people have high forfeit. Let them use it.
Sniper & Dark Strike x2: I can hit people.
Take Evasive Action (V): Anti-speeders, I’ve got a couple dbs, and useful in other regards as well.
Wounded Warrior x2: When you hit someone with anything you’ve got, make them power=0 and can’t use their ability towards drawing battle destiny. Can you say “Take that!”?
Effects are obvious, as are weapons and starships. Now, some people may think I should play BFiS1 instead of DiPO, but I love DiPO, so I play DiPO. So, have you seen what this deck does? All your characters come down and SMACK him with their weapons, and big attrition, and you forfeit one, maybe two guys for your own. The lowest forfeit in the deck is 7! Also you have high defense values, so it will be hard for him to hit your guys. But since your characters are few, maybe you don’t want to lose even one to attrition or battle damage. That’s cool- play Human Shield! You capture so many people with this deck it’s not funny! So you see the point? Wipe out his characters, lose next to none of yours. This deck is made for tracking, although it’s high destiny, too, so you should hit everyone you want. Look at the cards in your force pile, DRAW for what you want! If Black Sun is this powerful, everyone needs to watch out! Matchups:
RTP: Capture Leia.
DBO: Get to Dantooine before he does.
MWYHL: Early damage, early damage, early damage. Once he flips, your only chance will be capturing his beatdown characters.
HB: Use your starships to the max.
HB/EBO: Invade Hoth totally and completely. Kill the Generals.
RST: Scouts must die. As must Solo and Madine. And the Tala ships.
TIGIH: Luke must die. 4-LOM can rob his text, or BFBH can come and break his immunity (or shoot and cancel his immunity), or Aurra can take aim and cancel his immunity.
WYS: Use starships to the max.
Senate: Go fight in there and attrition the Senators away! As I said in my BHBM deck, I can’t stand just letting the Senators sit there, so go kill them! Kill them dead!
THGG, Master: Totally take over the Junkyard.
Combat: Jedi are meant to be captured. Or killed.
Profit: Oooh, which two aliens should we pick to start? : ) EPP Dengar and Bossk are good picks. Then, fight for Tatooine.
QMC: Cloud City= must be invaded.
LU(V): Invade Hoth. Probably the death of you, but do it anyway. If you haven’t noticed, I like invading. Even when it kills me. EPP Dengar can shoot a speeder or two.
MBO: Kill the Rebel Techs and take over Yavin 4 so he can’t flip.
AITC: Jawas should be easy to kill. Even if their forfeit is amped with Siestas, you can always just shoot/capture them.
