Strategy: ‘

Yet another of my BH decks, but I decided to try the Rancor instead of Sarlacc due to higher retrieval Forgive the title, but I had to think up somthing eye grabbing and creative) Basic Rundown If they come to you, capture, deliver, feed, retrieve. If they don’t come to you, drain away Even with all of the drain bonuses canceled, I can still drain for 7. With the modifiers I have a drain high of 12. Scum and Villany, Chall Bekan, and Jabba’s SB speed up deployment Skiffs, Zuckuss, and the Niktos(if Bib is out) can all react

Now to be a little more specific)

Against MWYHL We’re the bait is fun if they come in with Leia or some main like that 2 sabers makes it easy to slash hidden weapons to capture luke) Use Bossk in Tooth or some other ship to go to Dagobah Front side of the obj - makes them lose a force each turn.

Against Throne Mains/Force Choke Oota Goota to stop Nabraun Bubo to stop Nudjis Sabers to slash Bad Feeling Have I and No Bargain add to deploy cost Against Throne Room I start Bad Feeling Have I b/c Scum and Villany could get canceled

Against Profit Start with Mara and Chall. This gives a good power boost and cheaper deployment. Gaurd the AC with everything you have. Drain with weaker characters at sites w/ no lightside icons like Dungeon and Rancor pit(as long as the Rancor isn’t there)

Against Undercover Madness Nevar Yalnal Hutt Smooch Sniper

Against Inserts Resistance to reduce force loss, otherwise there really aren’t any problems. This is where I get the big drains going.

Against Hidden Base Drain big and drain fast Probe a little with the ships

Suprise Assault can SERIOUSLY hurt this deck if used right.

Other Factors Gailid drains well Niktos are a defense mechanism against beatdowns. in a defensive battle @ JP sites, they are power4, forfeit 5, and if Bib is at a JP site, the Niktos deploy as a react. Bubo is always fun None Shall Pass is to stop main deployment. There is only one b/c I can’t use it if Mara or DV w/ saber is at a JP site Ghhhk is anti beatdown Binders has been known to help a lot, I have found it useful to have a pair on standby. Reactor Terminal is so I can draw a lot and not worry so much about a small reserve deck(unless they alter it)

WHAT??? Darth Vader???? Doen’t he cancel Scum and Villany??? First of all, no he does not cancel it. He SUSPENDS it. He is in there for suicide runs against annoying mains and the like.

I guess that’s about it for now. Give me some honest reviews, I want to see if Sarlacc or Rancor is better suited for this deck. ‘
