Strategy

This is a simple Profit deck using scouts and a lot of retrieval. Here are answers

to a couple of questions about it

Why no CAS with Talas - No room, or I would.

Why no anti-numbers - There are no numbers decks in my area.

Why Redemption - Redemption + Bacta Tank is a very abusive strategy. Deploy the patient to Redemption cheeply, then shuttle him or her down to Tatooine where needed.

Countering other decks

Hunt Down dueling - Keep Ben away from Vader, while letting Luke go at him.

Since Luke subtracts 3 from attempts to cross him, your opponent's destiny will

be hurt.

Dark Side Tatooine-based decks - Hit them hard and as quickly as you can. If

you win the first couple battles, they won't recover from it.

SYCFA - Have your ships play tag with your opponent's and hit them where

they are weaker if you can. Try to keep Tatooine Celebration on the table if you

can, and if you can't, get it back as soon as possible.

Anything Ops and TDIGWATT - Take the battle to your opponent's planet

after rescuing Han. Hit them as hard and fast as possible.
