A Gift


A gift was one of the strongest cards to make an appearance in Jabba's Palace. While I'm not sure how timely this card will be after Special Edition and Endor hit the streets, A Gift is a force that the Dark Side MUST consider when putting together a Jabba's Palace deck of any kind.

A Gift allows you to take any droid and make it an undercover spy simply by moving it to the audience chamber and deploying this immediate effect on it. Now that's a strong card!

But wait! There's more. Not only is it a destiny 4, not only does it make an ordinary droid an undercover spy, but it also slices and dices... Well, maybe not, but it does makes (DS) battle destiny -2 and force drains -1 where (DS) aliens are present. All in ONE card. And it's Immune to Control.

Galid a problem? Hmmm... he's an alien too... give him a gift! Who needs Loje Nella to cancel Galid's Game text? Maybe have Obi make sure the gift was received well... follow up with the Jedi and really get rid of the Galid problem in the neighborhood. Stack a couple of these "gifts," an Artoo to pull one out early, and a couple We're Doomed (for late game help), and you could shut down that JP deck in a big way.

Watch out for Hutt Smooch. This card is the nemisis of A Gift. Be prepared to have a second gift ready to give back! Call it Christmas all year round. Just make sure you get those back at the end of the game (GRIN)!
