Introduction

This deck just gets better and better. This version has never lost a game (5 plays), although it's gameplay takes a long time to work just right (which means it's a No-No for Tournament play). Still, it's excellent for kicking some sense into your "expert" CCGing friends.

Strategy

Deploy R2, Han and his Blaster, along with Fire Extinguishers. Cancel battles, move with Nabrun, and control opponent's sites when possible. After you get enough power at your site(s), return the no longer needed Han to your hand with As Good As Gone and plop down Han in the Falcon for some space battling. If you have trouble controlling opponent's sites, you can stick to the Guest Quarters and do some major retrieval!

Although it was brought to my attention about this deck having low force production, I never have found it to be a problem because most cards in this deck are so cheaply played/deployed.

I really want someone to give this deck a try- it's THE BEST for fun and probably comes close for gameplay, too!

Sorry about the caps, I thought it was a little easier to read. I've never been successfully snipered because Han always gets to shoot first and Talz can cover things if you do get hit.
