Bespin and Beyond - Tips and Tricks - Part 1

Well I know some of you out there are heading off to a Bespin and Beyond tournament soon so here is the first post in a series I call 'B&B: Tips and Tricks'. These post will highlight a potential strategy you might find yourself playing against and how to combat it.

Crazy Sabacc:
I call this strategy crazy because its sabacc taken to the nth degree. Basically either side gets down Lando (with vaders cape and mandelorian armor) at the CC: Casino with some protection and plays sabacc.

"That’s not so bad" -misinformed swccg player

The real problem emerges when you realize that Lando:

So what we have is the potential to Play 2 sabaccs per each players turn retrieve 6 force and cause the opponent to loose 4 (+1 for the drain) force.

Ask yourself can your deck withstand this barrage of force retrieval and force loss? If so then you will be ok. If not take this Hint:

The opponent can not play sabacc if you do not have two force in your reserve deck. Simply set up a few drains and then activate all your force. Your opponent will curse and scream as you slowly dwindle away their life force. But hey its their fault for playing a non interactive deck anyway.
