Strategy

Greetings and welcome... This is my favorite deck to date... it’s my Profiting by Something, because it’s EXTREMELY well balanced and very lucky... and good to me too... if I didn’t mention that.

Anywho it’s pretty simple for a Profit, drop characters, free Han and then Force Drain/Force Loss...

The key time to retrieve Han, obviouslly is when you’ve lost at least 5 force, then it’ll be worth it to you, just remember to save some for the Secret Plans, if their playing that.

Once Han is free keep him with Ben Kenobi, he’s the way you’ll keep him alive, funny most people don’t usually target him, they instead target Han only to be revived... ah well.

For choice of cards...

Master Luke, Well he’s not a Jedi so he can’t be dueled, he deploys free on the 0 side of Profit and he bounces Aliens... like Watto for the Watto deck, or perhaps a Hutt or one of his cronies to make MKOS/Court detrimentally weaker.

Skiff - Yeah, after you pick yourself up from laughing I will explain........... (pause)........ okay, the skiff has saved my butt several times. It allows me to freely drop only 1 or 2 characters per site to maximize the efficiecy of Or Be Destroyed and if they battle me I can react over there. One particular game against a friend of mine who hadn’t seen the deck asked why I play with that lame card... well after he battled my lone Chewie, Enraged and I reacted over there with Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan, Han and Leia he found out after the debris cleared and the Jedi’s Presence left him for a loss.

Tunnel Vision x3 - Well I need to get certain cards at certain times... so I have that option. It’s a usefull card.... people ask me why I don’t play Control & Tunnel Vision is because of the Destiny, I may however drop 1 for 1 and run that way to see how that works.

Leia, Rebel Princes - cancel a FD, retrieve, Aliens have no ability... good stuff, however I am taking 1 of her out and adding another character quite possibly Phylo Gandish, because I run 2 docking bays.

Other than that everything else should be self explanatory...

MATCH UPS that this deck has actually faces:

Lightsaber Combat - Drop Master Luke, Chewie, Enraged, Lando Calrissian, Scoundrel over there and battle them out... late game drop a Jedi so that they can’t force drain and run that route. It’s quite simple.... and now with the Shield even better.

Hunt Down - Use Lost In The Wilderness on Vader and that’s pretty much game. It’s happened several times. Again, they can only duel Obi-Wan (if their not running the Maul version w/Maul Strikes)

Watto Obj. - LITW Watto, battle away game over.

Court Obj. - Leia, Rebel Princess wrecks this deck, all aliens all the time, no problem. However watch out for those droids and that hit and run Vader, still she’s quite nasty against this deck.

Mains - simple...just do what you would do against an Objective above.

Space - spread out and drain and Force Loss them, that’s the best way.

Enjoy and good luck.
