Card Text
If It Could Be Worse was just played, it is canceled and you may use X Force to raise damage against opponent by X amount. OR If opponent just lost Force from a battle, play to increase loss by 1 Force.
Lore
Things went from bad to worse when Luke was attacked by a dianoga, a parasitic predator native to the planet Vodran.
Joke
The title is Han's answer to Leia's "It could be worse..." in the trash compactor in Star Wars.[1] Its game text cancels It Could Be Worse. See Jokes.
Strategy
By Michael Sharp, Gold 29[2]
Are you tired of seeing the Light Side repeatedly play It Could Be Worse to avoid losing cards in a Force Drain? Simply play It's Worse, and use up all your Force to increase the Force Drain by the amount you used.
It has been ruled that the Light Side can then use Control to cancel the Force Drain, so have a few Senses to cancel the Control!
Other than that, it has a destiny value of 6! This has got to be useful when drawn as destiny! Include a few of these in your deck!
Rulings
- Increases the original Force loss amount, for example a Force drain of 1 could be increased to a drain of 6, then finally the damage capped to 2 by Ultimatum.[3]
- When increasing the loss from a Force drain, It's Worse is a Force drain modifier and a Force drain bonus. As such, its increase to a Force drain can be entirely eliminated by (for example) Menace Fades, Great Warrior, or The Planet That It's Farthest From.
- Responses to the original Force loss are no longer possible, for example a Force drain that has been increased can no longer be canceled by Control.
- See It Could Be Worse for additional rulings.
