Strategy: ‘
This is my first attempt ever at a Mains deck. I just wanted a deck that had super high destinies for all sorts of things. The destiny layout for this deck (minus the starting cards) is
0- 4 (1 can be pulled)
1-6
2- 3
3- 11
4- 8
5- 15
6- 7
7- 1
My general strategy for this deck is this Get out Traffic Control ASAP. This, along with Threepio, will be a key card. This deck allows you to cycle through all your cards, taking what you need, leaving what you dont. Use the Suprise Assaults to damage anyone draining (I once got Mara for 2 each turn one game). I have several easily trackable cards if you need a 6, but usually the destiny shouldnt need to be tracked. Also, this deck won all 3 of its Podraces this past tournament. Selbulba has no chance (ok, so maybe a little one).
Card Breakdown
Jar-Jar Just a fun card
Shmi Pulls Threepio
Suprise Assault Really fun against drain decks, and any deck that tries to drain.
Revo Some more force activation
Corran Kills spies
Fallen Portal With these destinies, why not?
Blaster Deflection Helps keep Qui-Gon alive
Lost in the Wilderness If they have a bit more power to SA comfortably
Barrier Beatdown protection
ICBW Helps stop drains
Wars Not Make One Great Helps vs. drains and battles
Shocking Stops Merrejk and Myoom
Changing the Odds stop the Chance cube, destinies a little too high, and checking reserve decks
Quite a Mercenary Elis protection
Gift O T Mentor Adds 2 destinies
Bith Shuffle & Desperate Reach Cancels Barrier, shuffles decks
Careful Planning When you need that boost in force during the battle.
A Jedis Patience If I draw a low dueling destiny or if Luke defending a battle.
Droid Shutdown More helpful than youd think. Stops Threepio from dying
Fall Back Beatdown protection
Signal pull the effects
A Step Backwards if its a close race
Eyes in the Dark really annoying
Hindsight Lets you view cards in Used pile. HUGE Use to track for destinies or Threepio.
Losing Track damage their racer or put a low destiny on top of their reserve.
TMAC good tracker
FOTL good tracker
Double Agent If Mara decides to come down on Lando or Corran, you can take her out.
Entering the Arena pull a 0 out or add a destiny
Dont forget the droids anti-numbers
Strangle High destiny, anti- BHBM
The strategy is to build up a force of mains and helpers in your hand while winning the podrace, retrieving with figrin, etc. I can get a max of 9 destinies in one battle, and if the enemys not careful, theyll be dead in one huge battle. This deck wont do too good against a SYCFA space, but itll pretty much kill everything else.
If you tell me what to put in, tell me what to take out. I appreciate your suggestions. Thanx in advance.

As a recap, I will be pulling all of my low destinies out ASAP ‘
