Strategy

The breakdown is this. First turn, pull any of the 1/0 docking bays, then draw up. Second turn, drop Maul and his stick (use Maul Strikes to pull it) and Vader if possible with his stick as well. Use Masterful Move to yank a 7 and deploy it on Maul. Use any remaining force to pull Search and Destroy or Drop!. You?re gonna want Drop! out fast cuz you draw a lot.

Don't forget to race 'em. Right off the bat, stall 'em with Sebulba's Pod, then draw your crazy high destiny, and leave 'em in the dust... you can finish the race in 3 turns, max 4, with this deck's destiny!

Keep pulling your 1/0?s. Along the way, burn an Accelerate to get the twix Bridge out. Get at least one 7 on Maul, Vader, and Palpy. Drain away for tons of force, and keep a few heavy hitters in hand (the destroyer droids, Fett, etc) for a beatdown should the opportunity arise. Should they come to you, pull off a few turns of combat with your stacked 7?s and all around high destiny. Beatdown with your non-Dark Jedi. Epic Duel ?em to death, effectively placing OOP Luke and Obi -- two of their three viable Jedi!! Basically just drain away until they work up the courage to fight, then beat the crap out of ?em and combat/duel ?em offa Naboo...

A few card choices --

I?d Just As Soon Kiss A Wookie -- pure tech. They deploy a Jedi to Naboo, auto action Obj flips, then use IJASKAW to send the Jedi back to thier hand, flip back and retrieve 1 force (which is the just lost IJASKAW). Track it, pull it, and use it again... evil tech that can keep the drains going forever and give you time to set up some mad beats for ?em.

Young Fool -- just use Force Lightning or did Palpy whup up on a Jedi in combat? Young Fool sends that poor fella OOP. Plus, as with most of the Interrupts and Effects, its got a nice destiny.

TPM and Visage -- Phantom Menace can be deployed to boost Maul, but otherwise it and Visage are pulled with Masterful Move and Twi?lek Advisor to be destiny 7?s for combat destinies.

Janus Greejatus -- set up destinies if Reactor Terminal isn?t out, and plus its fun cuz you can set up a 6 or 7 AND yank the top card of your Reserve... if the card?s not to your liking, drop it with Janus again next turn or use RT.

Boba Fett, Bounty Hunter -- the maintenance is nothing for this deck?s activation mid to late game, one or two battle destinies pretty easy, and uh... hey its Boba Fett!

Strike Blocked -- let's you gain the upper hand against LS combat

Bossk In Bus, Zuck in Truck, and Deng in Thang -- gotta love this trio. Basically a lil space protection should this deck come up against a bit of WYS space, a Hidden Base flip, or the rare EBO. It wont whup 'em, just slow 'em down and hold a system or two. Just make sure you don't get beat down for lotsa overflow...

1/0 DB's and the Bridge -- they're in here for activation only! This deck gives away enough force as it is, and these sites just give you the edge in activation... no worries, you'll have enough force for that beatdown!

Search and Destroy -- make a space deck come to you, and then get beatdown for massive overflow. If they don't come, you'll ping 'em for a force a turn for the whole game. Plus, even with R3 Lando or LS, JK on the groumd, they'll still get hurt!

Ah, well, that's enough strat for now.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!
