Tendau Bendon is a Light Character (Republic) from Coruscant.
Card Text
Agendas: justice, peace. While in a senate majority, if you have at least one card in hand, once during your control phase may place your hand in Used Pile to draw up to four cards from Reserve Deck.
Lore
Ithorian senator. Called on by his people to represent them in the Senate, though his heart is not in politics. Voted against the taxation of trade routes.
Strategy
One of the bad things about Senators is that they tend to have low power when they're called upon to fight outside of the Senate. Not so with Tendau Bendon! This little Ithorian Senator is handy both in the political arena and in the knock-down, drag-out brawl of the SWCCG universe at large. With 3 power and 4 forfeit for only 2 Force, he's a bargain anywhere.
But lots of Light Side characters have similar stats, and Bendon's Politics is a less-than-impressive 2. So why use him? Because he's a walking Reactor Terminal, that's why! While Bendon's in a senate majority, you can place your hand – no matter how large – in your Used Pile to draw up to four cards
just need to increase your differential to top off a tournament win, Tendau Bendon is your man.
He's also an integral part of any "Senate Invasion Package," along with Valorum, Amidala, and other Senators who can fight both inside and outside of the Senate. Once an opponent's political dreams are dashed, Bendon is a handy way to keep recycling any duplicate Senators you may have back into your deck while constantly drawing new resources. New cards, extra Life Force, Politics and power?
That'll do, hammerhead. That'll do.
Combos:
Cancel a Force drain and protect your characters from weapons!
The perfect late-game combo. Stew on his turn to place 4 you want in Force Pile. Bendon on your control phase to move the rest of your hand into Used. Now you are good shape "differentially", and you can draw back the 1-4 you actually want!
