Strategy

Thus far, this deck remains undefeated in tournament play, touts Dan (the creator of this powerful space deck). Having participated in on record, 3 tournament level games. While exceptionally powerful in space, the deck seems to be lacking where it comes to overall ground strength. However, with a flipped Hidden Base Objective, Rebel Fleet, and It's A Hit working in concert with each other, the Dark Side will find it quite difficult to Force Drain for large amounts without contesting the Light Side's space superiority. The additions of the EPP Mains provide some short term ground potential. They can be used effectively against a Dark "Spread & Drain" tactic... Later to be forfieted to avoid any possible subsiquent beat down. After closer scrutiny, I noticed this deck is quite suceptible to Sense and Alter. If the Dark Side can cancel Hidden Base quickly and make effective use of Sense and Alter this deck may have a problem being conpetitive against the heavy Tatooine ground drains (especially, if Yarna is canceled and Monnock shows up). Perhap the removal of Legendary Starfighter in favor of Do, Or Do Not may be more effective.
