Strategy: ‘

Ok, the main idea here is to get mad drains on Endor while ignoring your opponent. With the starting locations, you get at least 5 force,plus what they give you. that is usually enough to deploy a character to the platform for mad activation on turn two. Everyone in the deck except for Tarkin draws destiny by themselves, and everyone but Tarkin and Dr.E are immune to a some attrition.

The starting effects are pretty straightforward, you can use YCHF to grab PP/OSIP/S&D if theyre not playing #’s and you havent drawn them already. PP is not totally neccesary, especially in today’s world of hordes of alien smugglers. Mostly i use it w/OSIP and Mara- put her in the bunker and w/saber drain for 2.

The deck takes a couple of turns to get cookin, but once it does it drains faster than a sink full of dran-o. All three of the sites are drain +1, and with Expand the Empire on the middle one, the bonuses will stack. With the two lightsabers, drain bonuses, PotF’s and OSIP/Janus, the drains go thru the ceiling.

The destiny in the deck is pretty good, Operational as Planned is awesome. If they do come to Endor to rumble, Sniper/Force Lightning/You are Beaten/PP will get them off again. Vader’s Obsession is pretty cool here, noone expects it.

Space is pretty weak, i couldnt really find room for IG88. Most of the time i just hold my ships back till the other guy thinks im not playing any space then drop the BH ships on him w/a lateral damage- splat. They’re also helpful against Menace Fades, when they’re just controlling one system.

OK then, matchups.

HB If theyre flipping, this is a real pain. Use your pitiful little band of ships to mob together to probe, all the while draining away on Endor.

EBO Resistance will be a huge hook up here, just try to outdrain them.

TIGIH Go get Luke, then zap him and Young Fool his @#$% right on out. Game over.

WYS Drain drain drain Plead the “I don’t have a fleet” trick, then thump his spread out ships. If they’re playin skiffs/patrol craft, Expand the Empire on the village, no vehicles for them (or you, but who cares).

MWYHL Have one of your ships pick up a beats crew and go @#$%slap Leia on Dagobah.

Profit yeah, right.

AITC Sneak someone into the Audience Chamber then sniper tessek/their rep. Drain race again.

Well, that’s bout all i can think of for now. I wanted to make room for that AO that adds to immunity, but i forgot it at home (i’m at work now). It would also be handy against I’ll take the Leader hoo-hah. Anyhow, enjoy the drainfest
