Strategy: ‘

              I know some of you will ask, "Why not SYCFA?" The reason I am not using it

              is that in most cases, it doesn’t hurt your opponent if you blow up Alderaan,

              and I don’t want my targeting to be limited to Alderaan, Yavin, Hoth, and a

              Subjugated planet. 


              Put Maul with some of your opponent’s scrubs at a Death Star site. Unless

              there is an ability 4 character there, your opponent won’t have presence. Also,

              if Obi is on the table, use Maul’s dueling to take him down for ADLR. 

              Put Ephant Mon and your Death Star Gunners at the Conference room. The

              gunners will add 2 to CPI, and Ephant will add 1 from your text at the

              conference room. Also, your opponent won’t be able to drop a spy for presence

              for a beatdown crew. If you have Retract the Bridge in hand, you can also

              reorganize the sites to keep your opponent’s characters away. 

              Get the droid out to speed up your deck as much as you can. 


              Matchups 

              Any Single Planet deck (except EBO and MBO) Blow away the planet either

              before or after getting ADLR out. Use your forces to pick up the stragglers. 

              Space decks You will want to rely on more retrieval and your Destroyers.

              Getting out the EBH ships as soon as you can will help a lot as well. 

              EBO Hit Hoth with the Superlaser ASAP. That will kill any major strategy, and

              just leave you dealing with a standard space deck. 

              MBO Be very careful, and drop your dark jedi and Mara to Yavin to try and

              keep your opponent from flipping. If they succeed, get Fel, his ship, and the

              TIE cannon out to kill any attack runners.  '
