Strategy: ‘
Response #1
asyanks04, no way man. QMC is balls. I will have superior force generation from the get-go. If they try some gay stuff with weapons in space, I tallon roll the sht out of them. Tem Numb superstar eats it to a tallon roll. Imperial Command and Thrawn will get them at the system, as will the Executer`s immunity to attririon >12 or whatever it is. Without that, no Celebration. They will run out of Paths, and I will beat them senseless. If they try the OTE garbage, I get Fanfare. Maul will remove Jedi eventually, with Crush on the ground they really have no hope other than for the one-turn beatdown. That strategy has problems with Crush. My characters are inherantly stronger than the light side ones, and I will not leave myself open to a one-turn beat. Thanks for the comments, but i disagree with your theory of QMCs dominance over this deck.

Why This Jank Objective?
Well, its not so jank anymore. Im Sorry lets you pull 2 sites. Add Mob Points and your starting site and that is 9 force for 2nd turn, plus what opponent gives up. In addition, the objective allows you to pull Bespin, Bespin CC, CC Occupation and Dark Deal. So, this means 11 force that doesnt rely on Mob Pts/IAO non-battleground generation jank that has dominated the tournament scene for almost a year, i.e., the camp means s`hit to me.
Early game Start Secret Plans and CC Upper Walkway with Objective, Prepared Defenses for Im Sorry, Mob Pts., Crush (default). If you smell inserts, YCHF. I cant imagine starting Battle Order of Fanfare, but you can. Pull Carida and 2 interior sites before you activate. Deploy those and Bespin. Draw. Next turn, activate a ton and begin to build up forces on your locations. Don`t drop Bespin CC too early, because you need to control it to flip. Dark Jedi are the best to hold sites because of I Have You Now and their sabers. Work on space too – save the TIEs for the cloud sector, but Chimaera or Executer work great at the system level. Imperial Command to get some Admirals in space.
Mid Game When you have some forces at each site, spread to three sites and deploy Bespin CC and a TIE (or both). Drop Dark Deal and flip. Drain like mad and consolidate forces to avoid a potential weak spot.
End game Get CC Occupation working. Dark Deal. Battle. Duel. Win
Card Choices
the 6 locations I can pull all of them by turn 3 and I generate a ton. I dont need any more sites. Why not CC Downtown plaza? It gives 2 force to opponent. I dont need it for the extra drain – Dark Deal is good enough.
3 different vaders – grimtaash is coming back.
Maul – need i say more?
Palpy – he’s pimp. force lightning is cool. destiny 6. when his hos are out (janus, sim, mara) my life is easier (FD +1, Power 6 mara, Extra Battle Destiny, Manipulation).
Dengar – Machine gun
Aurra Sing – she is so cool. Weapon lev a saber and add to drains. low forfit, but who cares?
Guri + Xizor – to hold another site than Vader
I have you now x2 – 3 personnas of Dark Jedi (palpy, vader, maul). HOT
Fanfare – cancel OTE. I can pull it with Twi`lek.
Teemto Pagalies` Podracer – WTF? Well, I dont expect a lot of pod racing. If I dont see it, it is a destiny 5 in my deck. It is tougher for Losing Track to damage, also.
I think everything else is pretty obvious. This deck plays it`s own game, so i wont waste time with matchups. The idea is to control CC and drain like a fiend. Thanks for rating. ‘
