Strategy

Here are some points worht a note:

There is a 32% chance of pulling Carida or Executor in your opening hand. So in most games you will pull Carida early (w/Mob.points) to satisfy Don't Do That Again and Battle Order. With 11 ships, you should be able to go to space quite early. By turn 2 you should be activating at least 8 force, and giving your opponent only 1 (pull Exec. DB).

There are only 2 systems in this deck. But virtually all light decks have at least one system in their. With Presence of the force (provided you get it), you should be able to drain for 3 or more in space.

At first glance it might seem that there is a lot of space in here compared to the number of systems. But remember that the opponent will most likely provide at least one (and if he doesn't, he'll suffer from Battle Order). PoftF will also add in space. And there are twice as many characters as starships.

There are 6 ISB Agents in this deck, 3 of which can be Pulled by Piett. There is 52% chance of pulling 2 or more of these 7 cards in your opening hand. That should be sufficient for an early flip.

The destiny is a problem in this deck. So any suggestions for which interrupts to replace which characters/ships are welcome. (Imperial Domination (V) might be an opportunity, but that requiers ditching all the non-imperials.) The power of this deck will be hard to match for almost any LS, though. And Darth Maul in space will rule any swarms. Xizor, Guri, Zuckuss, Vader/Tarkin and Imperial Command all limit the opponents destiny drawing. I've always liked that...
