Strategy: '

This deck was made to counter the Mains decks out there wich pack 2 Shocking Info's and consider that Manipulation defense.

Start with Tatooine, and Combat Readiness to pull Tat JP (usually). First turn pull the AC (duh). Here's the basic strategy

vs. Mains - Grab their Shockers (or Voyeur them if you don't have a grabber). Use Frustration to take out their Grabbers. Scan away their mains, and get Occupation going. You should always know what's in their hand, so group your guys if they have a beatdown crew assembled.

vs. Anything that starts Yarna (HBX, Speeder/Ops, Ewoks, whatever) - pull an ability 4 guy, and Alter Yarna. Shouldn't be too hard with the destiny in this deck. After that, Scan to find out when you can kill them with Monnok.

vs. *.strom - Grab/Voyeur HDWGITM. Monnok. Scan.

vs. Hidden Base non-swarm - Try to hold the system for Occupation. Hopefully they are depending on Rebels for forfiet fodder.

This deck obviously has some weaknesses. Hidden base w/o rebels or duplicates, for example. I should probably add a Security Precautions, and Oppressive Enforcement wouldn't hurt either. If the LS starts Wise Advice AND plays several Grimmys, that would also be very bad.

LMK what you think. '
