Strategy

Ok, this deck basically is out there to have some fun with musicians!

I basically would like to get Ak-Rev (pullable w/ Bantha Fodder) to the AC, and then pull the rest of his musical friends. You then try to get some direct damage going on- via the objective, S & D, AAA, and First Strike. Bounty Hunters are the muscle in this deck, made to hit and run with Oota and Ghhks. Colo Claw Fish lets you get at least one good draw in. It's also possible to be strong w/o Oota, with many ways to add destiny. It is made all the sweeter if you get S & V out, effectively retrieving 3 and hurting the opponent for one. You get your activation up by deploying the <> DB from the objective, pulling the Barge (and the deck) with POTH, and pulling the holoboard with Masterful Move.

Choices:

Court is the best objective to use with this deck type. This is a very offensive deck, so the Fish and First Stike only help.

Lirin- adds to movement/deploy (best to deploy him last)

Nizuc- Obi Wan type power when with Musicians

Ak-Rev- can pull other musicians

Doda- Rodian, Lets you look at Force Pile

Greeata- Musician's Rep, can pull Rodians

Lyn Me- Helps your BHers, reduces opponent's power

Rystall- Retrieval, can reduce forfeit.

Rappertunie- reduce power, add to battling cost

Umpass-Stay- Powers up Musicians

Rayno lets people move w/o paying for it, good to get your horde around.

Jabba- helps activation and forfeit

EPP BHers (add destiny with Jabba's Through)

Greedo- pulls Oota Goota

Danz- good pilot, also a BH

No Escape helps my direct damage and Image is there to slow a drain of constantly ping away at the holotable.

I use some of the more powerful BH ships since you can rack up the destiny with them. Also, the <> DB lets you deploy BiHT for -2.

Thanks for looking, and your opinions!

EDIT:

Thanks for reviewing, GOUO! 10 activation is not a lot but I don't need too much. You forget that I can activate one more for every site I drain at with Jabba, so it makes my generation manageable. Also, I have many low deploy cards that deploy even cheaper with Greeata and Scum. I only have 1 BFBH or else I'd put two in. On the plus side, I can add a destiny with Jabba's through with you with my EPP version, so it kinda works. He comes down free with Lyn Me, so I basically try to get her with Ak Rev, and Greedo with Greeata, and then dump the three down for a nice beat down.

EDIT:

Thanks for the review, AOE. I think you have Lyn Me's GT a little confused. She can't download BHers, they just deploy free. Expand the Empire made it into my last COTVG deck, but not this one. I guess I felt that getting specific aliens out was not too vital; Many I can pull with others, and there is not one that important to a total strategy. Doda lets me look at my Force pile as well, so I can draw up to get what I want. Again, POTF is nice, but not necesary since my main form of damage comes via effects and the objective, and not drains.
