Strategy: ‘

Arrest Order and Mobil Points are always start and the 3rd effect depends on the opponent’s start. This deck went 4-0 with a +55 differential at the Dagobah Regional for me.

Notes This deck isn’t really meant to flip. It is meant to beatdown and stack a lot. It can win by flipping but I’ve not done that yet , don’t ask me to put in cards like Rise , My Friend and stuff 99% of the time I don’t have time to flip and win. Emperor’s Shuttle is a great ship and remember , it says Emperor is deploy -2 , it doesn’t say you have to deploy him to Death Star 2.

v. Throne Room Start Battle Order or Oppressive Enforcement. Set up Battle Order as soon as possible its huge.

v. MWYHL Probably wanna start Op Enforcement. Projective Telepathy in there for AFA. You can setup 3 battlegrounds 2 already and 1 w/ PotF and if they deploy to any of them you’ll be able to destroy them after Barrier.

v. TISGIHim Hmm. I usually start You Cannot Hide Forever and keep it on the table. Depending on where the opponent likes to battle you should be able to keep up with him by tracking and using Emperor’s Power if need be.

v. Hidden Base Lat Damage can be rough and winning battles is what it is all about.

v. Anything Else Hmm. Use Janus to manipulate yourself to get whatever card you want. Try to get OpEnforcement up so your counter cards don’t get Sensed , it doesn’t matter if they go to Used but you don’t want cards going to the Lost Pile because they go there pretty quick on their own. ‘
