Notes

• No objective was posted; the list starts with Prepared Defenses.
• The posted They Must Never Again Leave This City (a Dark Effect) had been linked to They Will Be Lost And Confused, the back of a Light Objective; the row now links the posted card.

Strategy

This is still in the building phase right now, so I'm mainly just looking for some impartial advice. There are 8 cards I'm trying to fit in (listed at the end of the decklist)...... and I can't figure out what to remove to get them in! Any other comments are appreciated. On to the strat:

Turn 1: pull Executor and FlOps with Mob Points combo. You should have a Twi'lek in hand, so pull TMNALTC. Draw up.

Turn 2: hopefully you'll have another Twi'lek to pull Flagship (V) with (or already have a copy in hand). If so, drop the Executor to Bespin for free, play Flagship (V), pull the Ex: Docking Bay with IAO, pull Piett with Flagship (V) and deploy him, pull Merrejk with Piett and deploy HIM, pull a system (Wakeelmui's fine). Draw up.

Keep pulling Executor sites with Flagship (V), and systems with Merrejk. Once you get FlOps and Seinar Fleet Systems played, you can start deploying your TIEs for retrieval. Spread out your Star Destroyers and drain away. Maul, Vader, Dengar, and the P-bots can drop and do some nasty beats with a bit of tracking (TIE Assault Squadrons = destiny 9, Empy's Shield/Sword = destiny 8, Scythe Squad TIE's = destiny 6), and your squadrons have super-high forfeit values to keep your star destroyers alive in space (note: Vengeance adds 2 to the forfeit of each TIE/ln at same system... in other words, another +6 to forfeit of the squadrons).

So, that's how it goes. If you've got any questions, go ahead and contact me in the ratings feedback thread. Thanks!

Enjoy!
