Now, Before I start, you need to remember that neither of my friends are very good.
Also remember that this deck has been evolving for about 6 months and some cards dont make much sense. It just sota happened that way.
If I remember the rules right, starting with Main Power Generator lets you pull and deploy North Ridge to. So do that.
Use Heading for the Medical Frigate to pull A new Secret Base, Superficial Damage and.. Colo Claw Fish (New card. Just added it) Use The Signal to pull one of the two effects. I reccomend Quick Draw, so you can pull and deploy those rifles from your lost pile. But it really dosent matter.
There are enough characters in this deck that it should be VERY difficult to get your 3 Echo Base sites under control (which you pull with ANSB, btw) fairly quickly. Then pull and drop EBO and start the evilness.
Now. The first part of EBO reads: "At Every System location you controll, your deploy is -1, your Force drains ate +2 and your total power is +3 in battles."
I think, but am not 100% sure, it means only systems. (Hence Hoth, and whatever the other 2 are. Kessel was in there to once, but I cant remember why I pulled it) But thats still nasty. Dantooine alreaddy gives your cruisers a -2 and fighters a -1. So do the addition and you get some nice subtraction. Drop Ackbar there to for the added -1. +3 power is cruel, its like having an extra B-wing or A-wing at EVERY system.
Basically, you get to drain your oponent for all he's worth (at least 2 at every system, not counting his own) and you *should* be able to take out most space opposition with the 5 B-wings, A-wings and them 2 Mon Cals. Which is very nice. Now lets look to planet sites shal we?
Leia is very nice. She's a leader, so drop her at the War Room. She can pull Reflection, which gives you a little bit of Force retrival, and can pull a leader of ability less than 3. (Rieekan)Use Leia's back to pull Leia from deck or lost pile.
Carlist can cancel Death Squadron, which I've had to deal with, but mostly he adds another site to the total needed to cancel EBO. I think this deck only runs with 5, so thats helpfull.
I think I've got at least 4 leaders in this deck, so your lonley little Echo troopers can suddenly become mobile powerhouses. If you get all 4 of your leaders to the War Room, they are a whoping power 6, 2 deploy. Nasty. Then keep some ships at Hoth to add more power bonuses to battle, and your oponent even staying on Hoth, much less controling it, gets difficult. There were at one point 7 EB Rifles in here, but now there are 5. A few characters are in there mainly because of a +1 weapon destiny, and the rifle gives you +1, so thats +2. Use Blaster Proficiency to get a 5 before destiny, this makes doing the impossible, like killing Walkers, suddenly more possible.
Hollis pulls Rebel Ambush, so your poor troopers can still be power 2 at non-hoth sites. I actually overran Endor with Hoth Troopers, using Rebel Ambush. Cool huh? :) They are power +2 AT hoth, so you get even more of a power boost. Commando Training does something cool with weapon destiny and power, but I cant remember right off the bat.
Any hints for my poor little EBO deck? Thanks for your time.
The Wise and Powerfull Seatbelt.
