Strategy: '
This is simply a standard bounty hunting capture deck. Use the binders either as a tracked 6 destiny or to maximize the amount of capturing you can do. The Hutt Bounty is mainly for use against Han, because if you have Boba capture him, you can retrieve his forfeit +11, a game changing retrieval for sure. The other bounties are for minor retrievals and make it easier to capture other characters. I would normally put Ephant at the Audience chamber with Jabba for his boost, but I will sometimes put him at the Dungeon to prevent the release of captives. Capture and imprison as many characters as possible. After all, it is harder for your opponent to get captives back than it is to retrieve lost cards.
Matchups
Profit- Put Mara and Jabba at the A.C., then pull Ephant and Mara’s saber before activating and deploy Ephant there with them. This allows you to bring a sizable defense force into play and limit your opponents chances to release Han.
WYS- Put Gela on the ground to take advantage of his power +2 against smugglers. Try to get Mandalorian armor on him as well. This would make your opponent have to have a total destiny of 7 to hit him.
Mains and QMC- Take the battle to your opponent then just docking bay transit back with captives. Pull the docking bay first turn.
Space- a tough matchup. Even with all six of your ships, you probably will be unable to maintain control of Tatooine. Make the most of your ships’ abilities to do as well you possibly can. Get Mara to the Cantina ASAP in order to drain your opponent for 3 a turn.
