--------Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have left nice reviews and comments about this deck. It is looking like with few changes this will still be a major deck type to watch out for even after Coruscant You can keep your self up on the game better than ever before by loging on to ccgHookup.com the most reliable source of star wars singles on the net. In fact this deck will soon be available for purchase (fully constructed, with deck protectors, and the objective card signed by the designer) at ccgHookup.com There you will find some of the lowest prices anywhere on boxes, sets and singles. Preorder Coruscant before supplies run out---------------
...Some people have mentioned that the deck would loose to SAC or to menace fades. It doesn’t. And I wait to deploy the sector ’till I have the ship to go with it and can put out the dark deal. So that means that first turn My opponent will have to take hold of two of my ground sites if they don’t want me to get the deal going. And that is not possible unless they do it with little guys and I’ll kill them with a trooper beatdown of like 25 power And some have wondered why I still have the disturbance card listed here. Well it only has to come up once to be a game winning card. The errata did nothing to hurt the card. It just makes it so you can’t lock your opponent down all game with the lightside version of the deck...
So the strategy should be simple. Just put out stuff fast and play the wookie kisser to slow down your opponent. Put the disturbance into their deck and pop it with an uncertain is the future. The best card as I mentioned is the shocking since you can use it to slow down a mess deck and to track for a third turn set for stun or big battle. Since there is plenty of activation and the fast deployment and card searching thin the deck out quickly you can often track the shocking by your second turn and that will let you stun a character they deployed their first turn. But not an ability 5 or higher that’s fine since the wookie kissers should take care of that. This deck could be built for like $20 and could be played by any little kid. Who says you have to have all the expensive stuff to play the game. This deck should be an auto win against ebo, mwyhl, an average speed hidden base, the sorry about the mess deck or any other twix site deck that doesn’t go first and is trying to ’set things up’ The whole point of a deck like this is that since you get in play fast you don’t have to worry about who or what you are playing against since they will spend all their energy reacting to you. Keep in mind that the card that kissed the wookie will usualy get shuffled back into the deck with the uncertain future. I built the deck to make a point that I’m sorry should have also excluded the wookie kisser and I hope I have convinced the playtesters that they made a mistake with I’m sorry.
If you have any questions about the deck just let me know with a quick email. Trust me it looks like a pile of nothing but wins in like ten minutes or less...
