This deck is soooo fun to play. I have not used it in tourny-play yet, but I’m sure one of these days I will.

Thank you Geoff Snider for the great idea with the AOs to track for destiny, that idea is HUGE.

When you start your normal stuff, people just think you’re playing the normal push-over BHBM….well they will be hurting later and realize how powerful your ”push-over” deck is.

I went to a local tourny today, and I noticed that ALMOST EVERY LS deck was space, it seems everyone was playing HBX, EBO, or QMC w/ X-wings. I saw maybe 1 Profit deck. Even I was playing HBX. So what can the DS do about it? There are several ways to conquer the LS (since it is so a$$) and 1 being beat them at their own game. You can sense Organized Attack, and grab it, and then you can track your AOs for some Niiiiiice destiny (6s galore). Search and Destroy is nice too, and your SAC can back it up. Sim Aloo is very helpful when you are trying to win a lot of battles.

I got to see the new cards, thanx to Evan ’Lorax’ Fitzgerald (I saw them on Big-D, but seeing them for real is much cooler) and the LS objective isn’t broken. This deck will surely smack it around with mega drains and S+D. That’s why 3 CHOKE Vaders are in, for Elom protection.

This is just another reason on why LS is just so ASS.
