| | Strategy | | Ok so heres roughly how the deck runs down.
Start you deploy
Objective
Sheild Puller
Starting Inturupt that pulls 3 effects,
3 Effects: Ni CHuba Na - Plus 1 to Force Generation
Impereal Arrest Order and Secret Plans - Effects opponents retrieval and slows down Nabrun Leids and Elis Helrot
Battle Order and First Strike - Battle for free, inturupts of opponent cost 1 force, helpful, also Battle Order helps because this deck is both space and ground and it doesnt drain at a lot of sites.
Deploy Sites - Senate and Generator Core or Naboo
Early On
First turn, activate at least 6 force, should be able to flip objective easily, if not second turn guaranteed. You really want Lott Dod out, really helpful. Once objective flips continually pull all 4 political effects. Advised guys at senate Rune Haako, Lott Dod, Edcel Bar Gane, Yeb Yeb Adem'Thorn, Baskol Yeesrim. Early on Lott Dod is the most important, especially since he and 1 other senator flip you objective. By the 3rd turn, if at worst casinario 4th turn, you should have all Political Effects out.
Throughout the game use Lott Dod to search your force pile to pick and choose what cards you need.
Battling: What makes this deck so brutal and fun is the battles: Edcel bar Gane limits opponents to 1 destiny, which can be modified aka political affects or Rune Haako, whats more Yeb Yeb lets you look at the top card of your opponents deck, while rune haako lets you predict their destiny number reducing it to zero. Your political affects also let you add 3 to your destiny. Its a brutal fight.
You are going to try and hold Naboo sites because Baskol makes your opponent lose 1 force for each naboo site you occupy. Also Motion Supported lets you add 2 to a drain and This Is Outrageous lets you block a drain. While Enter the Beauracrat permanently modifies drains.
Use your objective to continually place cards in opponents hand into their used pile, whats great about this is most players get hit by Limited Resources, tottaly caught by suprise. Defensive Fire lets you pull a card from their hand as well, meaning they need to play with 6 or more cards in hand in order to avoid the pain of losing 4.
Cards like Vote Now, and The Point Is conceded are used for when you Lott Dod cards from your used pile and don't find what you want, they can often be used to pull from your deck or just plain replenish your force (as you HAVE to take a card when you use Lott Dod).
Squabling Delegates pulls your senators into hand (thats handy) and can even retrieve force, a key card to the deck.
Over all this deck has high weapon and battle destiny (senators get +2-3 destiny) and can be used affectively for sense and other cards like that. You control few locations but drain for high amounts making this deck and effective deck.
Only deck to ever flat out destroy this deck is light side senate. Still looking for tips to improve on this deck.
