Strategy: ‘

The starting cards prevent any force choke your opponent has in store, which is important because a lot of these cards are expensive. You use Arrest Order’s search text to pull out the docking bays. This does 4 things a)it gives you activation b)it allows you trasport between 3 systems c)it allows you quick drains d)it allows you to pull of the Decree early (Hoth and Yavin) With a normal activation of 7 (4 is they’re using those nasty sleens) you shouldn’t have any problem deploying at your locations. This deck is pretty self-sufficent when it comes to draining at it’s own locations, but if you see an opening try to bust out the beatdown on the opponent, using monnoks to watch out for any surprises. Pick out your effects accordingly *Imperial Decree against Revolution/FD bonus decks (i.e.operatives) *Secret Plans against retrieval decks. *Battle Order against decks weak in space or ground (weak in space more likely) *Come Here You Coward against No Shelter/the lone Asteroid Sanctuary deck you’ll see Security Precautions and the Presences are good for activation, so you’ll want them out for any deck you play. It’s a very simple and effective deck and always puts up a good fight. ‘
