Death Star II Closed Environment
Death Star II Closed Environment is Decipher's name for a constructed Star Wars CCG format of 2000 in which both decks use only Endor and Death Star II cards, plus the other cards printed in the Death Star II Starter Decks. Decipher introduced it at DecipherCon 2000 as "this new tournament environment".[1] The Players Committee's Alternate Format Tournament Guide calls the same card pool the Battle of Endor Environment.[2]
- Also called: Battle of Endor Environment (Players Committee)
- Type: constructed, closed environment
- Card pool: Endor, Death Star II, and the Death Star II Starter Deck reprints
- GEMP: no constructed format; Endor - Death Star II Sealed is the sealed version of the pool
Card pool
Decks are built from three sources:[2]
- cards with the Endor expansion icon;
- cards with the Death Star II expansion icon;
- any card in the Death Star II Starter Decks, even one from another expansion. These are:
