Strategy: This deck is mostly ATOC cards but there are a few ANH battle and mission cards that make it more viable. The first thing you need it to have all you card affects helping each other. You have several cards that have bonuses if other droids are deployed plus the Droid Control Ship to give every droid +10 speed. It's important to get this out in the setup phase because 9 build points is a lot to spend so I have 3 in the deck. The second thing you need is the Jedi Intervention battle cards to give your cheap Infantry the intercept ability. You get to draw fire away from your more important characters and draw an extra card when they die. You need Dark Rendezvous & Capture Obi-Wan to drain force so your opponents Jedi can't evade all the damage. Disturbance in the Force is also good to prevent them from evading. While this deck doesn't have the power of the Sith it's has the advantage that most them aren't unique so you can build as many of the same unit as you want.
