Strategy

Basic strategy should be fairly obvious... pull the Cantina, get Lotty, Tikkes, and Yeb Yeb to the Senate ASAP, and start dropping to hold the Cantina. Use Mara, Vader, and Maul for beatdown purposes.

Now for some of the trickier stuff...

This Is Outrageous! - simple, really. Cancel a drain by putting Lott Dod or Yeb Yeb on here, and use the second half of the text to be able to swap out some cards between your hand and your lost pile.

You Swindled Me! - make your opponent consider the consequences of this one... use this during your control phase before using Barquin or Lott Dod. If they let you use the retrieval, cool. If they let you activate more, cool... you'll have more options for your Lott Dod pull. And after that... use Barquin to get it back in your deck!

Trinto Duaba - yet another card that Lando Calrissian (V) abuses! Pay attention to the destiny numbers that your opponent puts in his used pile during your turn. At the end of your battle phase, play Trinto Duaba, and use Lando to adjust your destiny to cause the most damage. If you want to play it safe... play another Trinto first to get a peek at what destinies are there!

So... you're looking at a deck that can activate up to 12 Force and drain for up to 6 AT TWO SITES. And as if that weren't enough... you're causing plenty of damage with beatdowns and Trinto, retrieving enough to keep things going most of the game, and making a general nuisance out of yourself. Cool!

Enjoy!
