Strategy: '
Some comments on the reviews The amount of force I get is enough. I rarely deploy all that much, it's not like Vader is dying all that often. More duel cards? Why? Dueling early is a good way to lose a game, I refuse to do it. I'd much rather play the game out and try to out play my opponent than get lucky w/ an early duel. I duel later in the game, w/ either stacked destinies or knowledge that they aren't playing duel protection.
This is a fun little Hunt Down deck. I've been playing something like this for a while but this deck takes it to new extremes. Strategy is to start out w/ Imperial Arrest Order, w/ that you can get all of your sites out of your deck (although the 2nd battleground Docking Bay isn't needed). Get Vader out early to drain and let Visage do it's damage. Here's what you do against specific decks
LS Operatives This is the biggest change in strategy. You need to start Battle Order against them, don't worry about your Docking Bays so much. Try to drain at their Farm. Put Mara and Vader together and try to outdrain them. Counter Assault if they group a bunch of Speeders together (or they're silly enough to play LS Ops w/out Speeders). They should only get like 10 force or so, enough to drain for only 6, you drain for some and let Visage do the rest.
Throne Room Mains If they play Revo then you need to fetch Crush quick. Otherwise you drop Vader at a Docking Bay quick, you can put some pressure on w/ Mara at their Throne Room. She's safe from Luke or Obi there cause it's not a battleground. Get out Crush eventually to protect from a beatdown and try to get You Are Beaten in hand to help if they come battle. Duel if you can, or if it looks like you are gonna lose just duel, it might turn the game in your favor.
Hidden Base Setup Mara and Vader each at a Docking Bay w/ Sabers and get Search and Destroy out. Visage and S&D is plenty of damage. Draw early for your ships cause after they flip it'll be tough to draw for them (paying 1 to draw 1). Go probe as needed.
Profit Drop Mara on them and move her to TatJP to drain quick. Let them free Han if they want and kill him w/ a Sniper, or capture w/ IG-88 or something. I prolly wouldn't deploy another alien for fear of Clash early on. Dengar and Dr. E are better saved for later anyway.
That's it. Fun deck, and pretty effective. Might wanna add another ship if 3 doesn't seem like enough. Maybe a Ghhhk if you're afrad of battle damage. Enjoy - Mike. '
