Strategy

Been a while since I've played musicians... just like riding a bike. >:)

Dodo is going to be your Rep for this game... mainly because he's a pullable Rodian (pullable by Greeata or Ak-rev, whoever gets around to it). First turn, pull the Audience Chamber with Jabba's Palace, pull the Sail Barge (and the Passenger Deck) with Power Of The Hutt, and draw up anything that's left. Next turn, pull the Lower Passages, pull Jabba with the Audience Chamber, use Power Of The Hutt to pull Boelo or E-Mon, and use Jabba's Influence to pull Ak-rev or Greeata. After that, just keep pulling out characters, spread yourself out, and drain away. Once all of the musicians are out, get them together at the same site and Elis Helrot to a site where your opponent has a few random characters lying around... and offer them a handkercheif to cry in.

If you want to keep the musicians at home for a while, you can use the power-pumped Bounty Hunters and Watto to do some beatdowns here and there. For those of you who don't know the Watto trick yet, here it is: use Lando Calrissian (V) to fix your Watto's Chance Cube destiny, giving you a recycling 5 that adds two destinies in Watto's battle. Woohoo.

And on to the card choices:

Ability*3 (V) - with a deck that is almost two-thirds characters that are constantly battling, having a card that gives you character retrieval whenever you innitiate is a MUST.

Trinto Duaba - I've said it before, and I'll say it once again: this card should be in EVERY dark side deck. Period. It rocks.

Enjoy!
