Strategy: ‘
Ok, In the 4 weeks or so ive had it, the deck is now 7-1 in tourney play with the only loss to the Dark Surgeon himself
Alex Tennet. It has also only lost 1 friendly in about 12 outside tourneys. Theres nothing
too sophisticated about this deck, you just deploy, drain, and beat the living cr@p out of the
opponent. Obviously first turn you pull the AC, if you get accel plans grab the bridge, and If you get Maul in opening hand
you can slap him down. The deck loves to elis all over the place but if they start Insurrextion/Aim High its no biggie.
Before you say “have i gone barking mad theres no space in this deck” You simply dont need it. Enter The Bureaucrat is a freakin
god card. For example, against a Hidden Base deck, my opponent drained me at kessel, so i slapped my Bureaucrats on Kessel and Kiffex
(because u can play both off the same drain) and his drain capacity was reduced to virtually nil. The fact u can put the card in
your used to draw 2 aswell is fantastic. Against WYS they will have to waste their Control/TV’s to deal with it, and ill grab control/tv with
allegations anyway. S/A is used all the time, even if they start DODN/WA because u never know when u might need to sense a crucial clash or
something of that nature.
Card Choices
Enter The Bureaucrat See Above
Mighty Jabba Always good at JP, adds a destiny with Xizor, good immunity, not bad for 3 at jp.
Galid Ups your force drains if you need to up them, i dont use him that much, be hes definately worth his spot
Dengar with gun Another Nail in the coffin of WYS, combined with Dr E & Ponda and P-59 and you’ll be able to take
out 4 characters in 1 battle.
Palpy & Janus Too Good to leave out, can sit nicely together and hold a site in conjunction with force lightning, force field, i have you now etc etc
Masterful Move/Endor Occupation Cancels Celebrations, a cycling 5, great in combo with force lightning for tracking.
Podracer Collision With your high destiny and S/A, you have a reasonable chance of winning races, this helps that little bit more,
ive also been able to use it quite a bit for removing pesky interrupts from decks
Matchups
WYS; PLEASSE I have beaten 4 WYS’s in tourney play, the smallest win was by 30. WYS cannot handle this deck anymore. You shoot/slash/operate
anything they put down, u grab control/tunnel, u bureaucrat kessel and they are not left with alot they can do, take over the cantina with maul or
palpy and send the rest of the squad out smuggler hunting. A game you should win 9 times out of 10
Pile/Shmi/Harvest Mains As much as i hate to say it, my LS cannot hold up against my dark. Take over the lars moisture farm and the extra +1 to weapon
destiny goes along way towards ensuring they never get it back. Use code clearance on Harvest, or sense it. Force Lightning naked 3p0 if he comes within
reach. Grab Mess or OOC and battle battle battle. Another game u should win most of the time.
Hyperdrive Generator Maul is immune to attrition, and they only have qui and obi they can realistically get rid of him. Maul and pals can take over the junkyard
quite easily, the likes of Panaka and Padme cannot hold up against P-59, iggy, dengar, 4lom and friends. If they are somehow able to stack 4 cards on credits
it doesnt make much of a difference, the amounts of character you will clear out it wont matter about them retrieving off BD’s. Another comfortable 1
MWYHL Proper You should have them virtually to the point of death by the time they approach test 5. Pull CHYBC asap to force them into coming to ground so u can beat
the piss out of them. If they refuse Drains and S and D will eat them up plus they wont be able to retrieve. Barring disasters or horrible draws you should win this
quickly.
MWYHL Pod Manip This has only surfaced recently so im not too sure how this will play out. Even with MWYHL with Palpy out u can still sense visored vision, and
be sure to grab it too. Bureaucrat will go on kessel to stop that, and Obi can be circled to prevent him recurring with resilience. You also have a half decent shot of winning
the podrace. Watch out for LITW. I think u can win this quite well, but ill let you know after i play it )
HB Flip Hardest Match. Opening hand Maul + Bureaucrat is desireable. 2nd turn pull Mara and stick with AC for draining. Spread out but not too thin. Drains and S and D will eat them
even after they flip. Bureau kessel and kiffex/coruscant. They will eventually come to ground to satisfy S and D, and thats when u bite them in the a$s with an elis or something of that
nature, Sniper Boussh/Tk if they dont use super falcon. Hard, but definately still winnable.
Sorry the strat is kinda short, but like i said, you dont need a degree in rocket science to play this deck, i can
see all kinds of sarcastic reviews coming, dont disappoint me )
