This is a quite fun this deal deck which has also been very competitive. Despite what some people say, it isnt that hard to flip it, especially cos you can take the crucial stuff into hand from reserve deck. It has no problem going to battle the opponent wherever they are, but it is quite happy to sit and drain. Sabacc is there for whenever you need it, and with 2 landos and brangus, should be quite easy to do. Leave Mara or DV at the carbonite chamber with stick, and all too easy is a nice bonus for you. 8 force can really hurt. The light s/a package is there if you need it, its good for stopping narrow escape during profit games, even if they have Do, or do not out. Big blue is there to maintain bespin, if theyre playing HB and you park the executor at bespin and probe, they*ll never get rid of you

Here*s some specifics

VS MWYHL Proper

Try and drain like hell before they get great warrior out. Once that happens, pile Vader, mara, Tarkin, and Iggy on the bus and go and pay them a visit. Once you kill Luke/Leia, JTs are suspended (or lost if you get there before they flip) so go back to draining. Sabacc can really help your differential if they are playing things like surprise assault. Control bespin so if they play battle plan it doesnt matter.

VS Fake MWYHL/Fake HB

Dont spread out too much as you know they will come to get you. try and get at least one weapon in every group of characters you have to wittle their mains away. Try and keep iggy alive as he will screw them Sabacc is an effective way of seeing how many copies of mains theyre packing. Keep your characters in groups, and let them make the first move. You should beat them down

real HB

Drain on the ground and maybe get dd set up, but land the ship Until they flip, they wont be able to keep up with your drains, and when they flip, probe bespin and theyll never stop you. Use the BH ships to probe everywhere else, and you should do well

Profit

Start Mara and Jabba. Jabba is an alien leader so he is immune to attrition so they will never get rid of you. Keep the ac relitively well guarded, but dont forget CC. They may try to go there if they think they will never free han, so dont over commit. There is always Elis Helrot, but never use if they have 2 force

Throne room

Basically the same as Fake HB/ training. Don*t spread too thin, and be careful. Watch out for destiny adders. Sabacc could pull these games back for you, so keep lando and brangus well guarded

Numbers

Sware loudly Seriously, use people like 4-lom and ree-yees and brangus, but watch for mains beats. If they don*t have mains, so long as you keep to the destiny 3 people, you should be fine ‘
