The is my favorite Deck and is unbeaten so far. The concept is to develop quickly with spaceport speeders and X-34 Landspeeder. I've gone through my entire deck in 3 turns before! You start with Mos Eisley (if you can) and put down X-34 to sell it to spaceport speeders. If opponent is aware of your deck (has lost to it a number of times) they may put down mos eisley , so if you think they'll do that put down Yavin 4:Docking bay which is almost as good for this deck. Since the secondary theme is General Dodonna + Obi-Wan + Jedi Presence. In this case put down a Wioslea and then X-34 and then sell it to spaceport speeders
Yes, This is a *very expensive* deck money wise to build. But it's also a *very* powerful tournament level deck. There are many ways to build cheaper versions of the deck, The primary concept are just uncommons : Space port speeders + Luke's X-34 Landspeer. The second key concept though is rare2 with Noble Sacrifice and On the Edge (though the listing up there doesn't have on the edge, I had a variant of the above deck with 4 noble sacrifices and 4 on the edges + 2 electrobinoculars)
A critical subtheme of this deck is to get General Dodonna (of which there are 3 so you can afford to lose a couple), then Obi-Wan Kenobi then a bunch of Rebels + Jedi Presence. General Dodonna adds +1 strength to all rebels he is with, then Jedi Presence Doubles their power!! So Pops (power 2 would fight at power 3 with Dodonna at Yavin Site, would fight at 6 power! With Jedi Presence!)
It beats an Elis Helrot deck because I can afford not to move around too much. And if I need to I do have EIGHT landspeeders :-), and 2 Nabrum Leids. They key is to Force drain with Jedi Light Sabers + Obi-Wan's Lightsaber + Lightsaber Proficiency. This will allow force draining up to +4 over and above whatever the normal for that site is -- note I'm counting you have everything the deck can do out. Which isn't an unreasonable assumption because you play everything quickly and then play traffic control to get things you need back, back nito the reserve deck.
VARIANTS I've made many variants of the deck. The most notable of which is the Faster recycler variant. Figrin D'an is *way* cool. He allows you to get a card back every round! I had an On the Edge + Electrobinocular + Noble Sacrifice Variant which allowed me to get a lot of lost cards back. There are also other ways to get back lost cards see Utinni Masters Deck. I also had a Solo Han + Warrior Courage + Han's Back + Han Blaster + Yavin 4 Jungle variant of this deck which was quite nasty. One time he attacked me with Lieutenant + Pondu Baba for 6 power and I had Han alone play 2 courages and 2 solo hans and drew 6 extra destiny!!! Another Variant is the Leia Organa + Death Star Site + Jedi Presence variant of this Deck. Similar to the Dodonna Yavin 4 + Jedi Presence idea of the current incarnation. Another Variant is the Nightfall over Tatooine Variant This is nasty to play a Talz for 1 force, and have it fight at TEN power !!! Chuckle Play Nightfall , Play 2X-3KP + Talz + Obi-Wan + JediPresence Note that version also needs a revolution so you can turn tatooine system around since this is a land control deck with no space influence.
Q : Because there is no space control influence is this a problem? A: No. Because you play jedi lightsabers + obi-wan's lightsabers + lightsaber proficiencies and you'll be generally draining for more then your opponent. Also you then play X-34 landspeeders so you can drain at adjacent sites for lots. Then use react off X34 w/ luke aboard to stop any attack. Also note the deck develops about twice - four times as fast as any normal dark side deck so you should have overwhelming force must faster then your opponent, so it is difficult for him to drain for more than you even with a good space control deck. Finally note if you are drained for a lot (and I played a game where I won and I was being drained completely in space for 5 a round) you can bring cards back with Figrin D'an and Noble Sacrifice.
Q: You only have 3 sites in the Entire Deck! A: Yes, this is because i can cycle through my entire deck so quickly I don't need many sites. I've won 10+ games and lost 0, with only 3 sites in the deck.
Q : What if the other person is playing a counterspell deck? A: I've played against counterspell deck, and 90% of the time you can't get a guy w/ counterspell up faster than this deck can develop. Within turn 1 this deck usually activates around 12 force! My experience with counterspell decks is that they are weaker characterwise whereas this deck has a good balance between effects , characters etc. Yes this deck is weak in space (see comment abbove)
