Strategy: ‘

I made a deck similar to this right after Endor was released. It was fun, but it had a few problems. The biggest two were react-hosing cards, and Don’t Forget the Droids. I have attempted to fix those problems in this version of the deck. Here’s how to beat specific deck types

vs. Mains of any sort - Start BFHI. Use Tactical support to find the right Bikers. Elsek is like a reacting Ghhhk. After you flip, try to control Raithal, and hit them with numbers. Pull a grabber for DFTD. There are three basic ways that they can stop your reacts

  • Frozen Assets/Beggar If you suspect hat your opponent is using this, drop a Comm Cheif with Elskek.
  • Sense Grab the Sense. Unless your opponent has a hand full of Senses, and a ton of force, somehing should be able to react.
  • Beezer/Lock Use You Rebel Scum to remove their texts. YRS is also useful to prevent Obi from moving Elsek away.

vs. Ops - Flip ASAP, then set up Decree and Numbers. Crossfire prevents a Speeder beatdown.

vs. HB - Start BFHI to prevent early EPP squads. Use TIES/DSAS with APTW (you can fetch it every turn, if it doesn’t get snagged). Crossfire + TIE Defenders take care of S-Foils. Grab Organized Attack. Try to hold Ralltiir, and let the numbers do their thing.

Other notes -I used Desert/Jungle because they work well with the Speeder Bikes immunity to attrition. The Prefect’s Office is for Burnsk, who is a destiny 3 trooper, that is also a leader. Along with IAO, this makes all the unique scouts forfieit +3 on Ralltiir. The DB is there in case I have to drop a TIE @ Ralltiir to flip.

-Carida is imortant, since it lets you recycle the Biker Scouts. Aratech Corp. is nice, but I don’t think it’s worth the card slto, since there are only 5 Bikes in the deck.

-The Hoth sites are primarily for activaton, but can be used for Decree, if you can’t hold two systems.

Everything else is prety self-explanitory. If your opponent is playing Ultimatum (which few people do), try to insert quickly before it goes into effect. Any suggestions are welcome.
