thanks for the reviews, getting harder to decide what to take out for the cards I'm being told to add. If you tell me something to add, please include an idea for what to drop.

Strategy

Get out the Emperor on my first turn to my opponent's starting site and deploy some Royal Guards as backup (if I have enough force, if not, deploy a DB and save). Use the Inconsequential Losses to prevent the loss of Guards. Imperial Artillary is a nice high destiny and adds force loss. Use Strategic Reserves to prevent force drains and Imperial Domination, Abyssin Ornament and Imperial Reinforcements for retrieval. Search and Destroy will be good incase they refuse to come to the ground to battle me. Crossfire will increase my power when I use more than 1 Force Pike. The bridge is there for more activation. Weapon of an Ungrateful Son is used to put the Force Pikes back in my reserve deck if I'm short on force or about to win. Well Guarded protects my Guards from Grimtaash. Imperial Decree is good for canceling force drain bonuses.

EchoBaseTrooper: thanks for the review, I'll think about it, I already have Imp Reinforcements (V) and Abyssin Ornament for retrieval, so it might make more sense to drop it.
