Strategy: ‘

1) Start with Imperial Arrest Order. Try to set up decree asap by taking out the rebel base docking bays. Another way to play the deck is to start with Sunsdown on Coruscant. In this variant, try to deploy as many generic sites as possible to coruscant Slap down a star destroyer at coruscant system and you have free drains and opponent cannot touch you.

2) Once you have decree running, it’s just a matter of running and draining. let the opponent come after you. he can’t do much with nabrun as his buddy.

3) He’ll then try to drain you at some locations with one or two characters. That’s when you plop down as many troopers (there are quite a few in the deck) as possible and battle him with trooper assault. This can cause lots of battle damage and could win you the game. If not, your troopers can spread and drain as well.

4) This deck is very simple to play. Drop/run and drain.

5) Not much fear from the dreaded Draw their Fire/ Frozen Assets combo. Once he drops frozen assets, play imperial supply and activate force so your ghhks can go through.

6) Only danger I think so far is Surprise assault. This really kills the deck. If the local metagame is assault crazy, I would suggest Boring Conversation…

7) I’m most happy if someone would critique the deck design.
