Strategy: ‘

Speeder Ops , the quickest way for LS draining kills. This is another Alien version so you don’t have to worry too much about Drazin. Though it doesn’t look like much the Flaps and Ops bonuses will help this deck fight its way out of tough situations. Here we go for specific strategy

v. DS Ops- The quick deploy of this deck is very good versus DS Ops. The bonuses you have on them is the ability to use Lost in the Wilderness and Landing Claw to get around Battle Order. A quick T-47 shot will help tip the game in your favor. Ithorians will give you the chance to drain for a good amount if ABC2theUni is on you.

v. Big Blue- Use the Landing Claw trick to get around Battle Order. Things might get hairy if ABC is out. Use It’s A Traps and Houjix if they bring too much of a smackdown at one site.

v. ISB- Use Lost in the Wilderness on 5D6. Worrt will help eat the other agents here and there. Tantive IV and Spiral and the Leaders will help try to fight off ABC.

v. Drazin - Having NO Rebels is gonna seperate the average Drazin deck from the really really good ones. Basically just spread and drain ; try to track the higher destinies to get around any immunity their aliens might have.

v. Ralltiir Ops - hehe. You get to watch them cringe. They’ll never be able to flip and since you have no Rebels you’ll be able to battle with no hindrances. Harc Seff will help if they actually manage to control a site.

v. TIEs - The Z-95 will help Landing Claw a Dreadnaught and you can maybe surprise them with Tantive IV and a leader or something. Aim High will make them pay to retrieve and should be a game where you win with your better drain capabilities.

v. HDADTJ - Cancel Visage , stay away from Vader and try to Lost in the Wilderness him. Drain , Drain , Drain.

v.Ominous Rumors - Landing Claw will help cancel two drains. Pulling off T-47 will also help win the game. This deck plays pretty much the same way every game.

Miscellaneous notes This is a pretty solid deck and shouldn’t be too hard to play. Yargna helps versus Monnok and as long as you can get out the anti-Elis Insurrection you’ll be fine. ‘
