Strategy

First turn, pull a gunner if you don't have the superlaser. Otherwise grab the WR. Primary concern is getting the DS moving. Next turn grab the Superlaser with the Gunner. If it is in the force pile, it slows you down, but grab another gunner and you will have it by next turn. While you do this, it's useful to fortify the DB with one of the numerous 3/3 characters to get a destiny (and forfeit fodder if they get a destiny since the gunners are important). Try to flip quickly, though my biggest concern is the fact that I actually have very low destiny in this deck and therefore tend to go for a +8 or more often before firing. (excessive? Yes, I know. I'm paranoid about missing, though OE and ID help) Unfortunately, if they do a full-fledged invasion of the D* you'r screwed unless you get Tarkin and/or Vader to fight them off w/extra firepower.

Specific cards:

Ties and guns: I'm illogically paranoid of peope blowing the death star and need to feel I can do something.

Shield Generators: I hate those b-wing decks which shoot everything in sight.

Hell to pay: could probably go. It's in there since I start OE (mostly for the destiny boost. If you give me a good alternative I might put it in.

A Day Long Remembered: Destiny 6, really nice if you pull it off against a rebel-heavy deck. Too bad it doesn't come with the force loss that the light one does (in the form of blowing the death star)

The Empire's back: pull Tarkin (or Vader or Motti)

Any suggestions would be nice.

Edit: correctly identified WIAPN, V'ed TEB, Kicked Needa for Ozzel

Thanks for the tip about using Uncertain. A little unsure on what to cut though. (It's always harder to cut from your own deck where everything seems so dear to strategy even if it isn't.)
