Strategy
thanks for letting me know about bane malar V!! i fixed it.
plane and simple, desteny really sucks in this deck! any ideas to help me out? but i wont drop out any more droids. i started with 20 probe droids and had to cut back already.
depending on what you get in your starting hand, this is how i normaly play the game. some hands i have set dark deal up turn 1! it really depends on your stile of play and what you draw.
turn 1:
pull up the 2 CC sites, activate at least 3.
pull and deploy bespin. then deploy the 2 sites. target bespin with sunsdown, now all your spies delpoy for -2(probe droid V deployes for free)to cloud city.deploy or draw three cards.
turn 2:
activate at least 8. pull and deploy cloud city. depending on what deck you are playing agenst, is how you want to deploy your cards, if they are sworming cloud city i normaly will draw this turn. deploy or draw 8 cards.
turn 3: activate at least 10 force. pull dark deal. you should have more then enough cards in hand that you can counter any thing they have deployed on cloud city. almost all your cards deploy for free, you can drop every thing down and kill them and set up dark deal buy turn 3. then start draining big time.
strategy:
why so many probe droids! they deploy for free, power 2, forfet 5!! desteny 2, not the greatest card around but when you use him with sunsdown and EV-9D9 he can be a killer in one force drain, and if you have mosep down all that force will come from his resurve deck! that will really chap his hide.
i am really triying to stay away from all cards that have ability so i can get around goo nee tay. i know i could have gone with troopers or a hand full of other guys that can get around it, but this way i can use there HIGH forfit value and there force drain adder for EV-9D9 and they deploy for free, and they can deploy most any were with out force icons or presenc.
EV-9D9, out standing card! he can drain at the incinerator and adds one to your drains there for each droid present! i normaly drain for 9-11 a turn at this site after dark deal is down, and if they stop my dark deal then i can still get some good draineg at the incinerator.
i feel safe leaving a probe droid alone at a site after dark deal is in play, he would be power 6 and power + 1 fore each ship i have at cloud city, forfit 5 and just for extra safety have a self-distruct V for when they swing at him to cancel his forfit or a ghhhk in hand.
if they come at you with a TRM, you have all the spies you would need to mess there deck up! sens that deck runs with only a few deffrent main charectors, you will be able to spred them out and keep them off cloud city, but if they still go to cloud city, then they cant force drain you for much and you can still force drain them at there sites.
the LU(V) deck. i out force drain them! simple as that, i am all inside with no way to get to me with there speeders and they dont have enough charecters to battle me on foot, so i win that one with eas.
that WHAP deck! haha, ok it is a verey good deck but if you have a under cover spie at the throwen room, they cant do jack squat! except die.
the creatures come in so helpful all the time! yoda V in jedi training is dead before he gets to train! the profet deck has a hard time when you have a kryat dragon walking around jabbas palace! bubo is all around mean! but if they have a QMC then drop kryat dragon bones V and start with were the bait V, pull up TheyMustNALTC and then you can save on some ties when you loose them from bespin, and when you get the executer then it gose down for free!.
i have played agenst all thease decks and beat them all. please tell me of any thing you would do defrent. all advice is needed and welcome.
