They'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments, my lord.' 'Good. Prepare the boarding party and set your weapons for stun.
Strategy
By Ed Tostanoski, Gold 3[1]
With this card, and some other Special Edition cards, Tractor Beam decks are back. Another Destiny 6 Used Interrupt, it works with Our First Catch of the Day to provide +4 to the Destiny draw against all those neat unique Light Side starships. Even if you miss, that -3 Power takes the sting off, and -3 Maneuver would make them easy prey against Rendili StarDrive's better Turbolasers.
As an ambush card, it allows you to spread your Star Destoyer's a little more thinly, achieving quicker victory with Force Drains. And it's better than most good ambush cards, in that it costs no force and it makes the Tractor cost no force [Oh rats, I forgot to leave two Force for my Tractor Beam. Oh well, it's your turn. I guess I'll just have to take my lumps :)] Bluffing is back!
Combos:
In Range + Star Destroyer + Tractor Beam: Without these, the card's only useful as a high Destiny in your deck.
In Range + Our First Catch of the Day: Both Destiny 6. Draw>2 to capture Corellian Corvette, >1 versus Spiral and >0 versus Tantive IV. You even have a chance against Captain Han's Millenium Falcon!
In Range + Rendili StarDrive + Turbolasers: And if the above misses, try again (for free) with starfighter's maneuver -3 to blow them away!
In Range + I Can't Shake Him + Turbolasers: I Can't Shake Him is Destiny 5, will allow you to search your Reserve deck for both Tractor Beams And Turbolasers, and then deploys them for free.
In Range + Executor: Do you really want to play with Darth's personal taxi? I didn't think so...
Reviews
- Jeff Hansen, "In Range", Neglected Card Series, Corellian Engineering Corporation (2000). Hansen calls it the best unique Used Interrupt for a Star Destroyer in battle, firing its tractor beam for free in the weapons segment, especially with They've Shut Down The Main Reactor. "This is the sickest unique Used Interrupt!"[2]
Combos
- In Range + any Star Destroyer + Tractor Beam[3]
- In Range + Our First Catch of the Day
Rulings
- This Interrupt targets a specific starship (e.g. for the purposes of Han's Toolkit).[3]
- A starship captured and stolen mid-battle with In Range becomes inactive that battle.
