Strategy: ‘
This is a lot like the other Court deck i posted earlier, the Godfather, but I think this one is a bit stronger for using Scum and some other nifty stuff.
**Update drop the ”Jedi nightmare” and ”Verification” droids (don’t know what i was thinking there…) and add P-59 and P-60. end update***
starting out Use Power o’Hutt to grab the Sail Barge as soon as you have some guys to protect it from Free Ride, then drop it at the Great Pit so you can move your guys over the Sarlacc while your opponent can’t. also drop the passenger deck for added generation.
use the Nemo Advisor’s to pull Tatooine and Jabba’s Palace and get out the Lower Passages for maximum drains, drop Gailid at the Audio Chamber and drain away, plus Occupation at the system, held by all those wonderful independent starships that Court uses so well. keep the docking bay close to the Sarlacc and put Establish Control there, against WYS keep those three sites at all costs and drain nastily. with Hutt Influence on the table there’s no canceling those Force drains if you’ve got the aliens. you’ve got U-3PO to help stop other ground decks and a Search ’n’ Destroy to stop space decks, plus you start No Escape to make sure Honor doesn’t screw up none of the Damage in here before you can get the 3 battlegrounds and stop Honor completely. Masterful Move combo to handle QMC’s celebration and pull the Ghhhk for those tough times.
For battling, First Strike and Scum are awesome in this deck. Boba Fett with IG88 or Vader, or any other bounty hunter is awesome. Jabba with Boelo and Bib and the Ephant Man. IG88 is in here for character removal, same with Dre and EPP Maul or the other lightsabers.
ok, card choices
Nevar Yalnal - easy way to get rid of spies, just drop Mara or U3PO on them and poof until then, its a nice 6.
Sarlacc - this used to be a flipping Court deck, but i’ve noticed that with a drain of 3 going down on his pit with him in it, many players aren’t too eager to try battling there…
Jodo Kast - holdover from the flipping Court, but he’s also very good against WYS. and with Boba Fett BH.
Darth Maul - only for use in his ship, which is a very good use for him. but don’t think he can hold a system by himself, Luke is a popular pilot in some hidden base decks.
try this deck out, its one of my favorite platforms because playing on Tatooine is so stinkin’ fun.
