How can I overpower my friend's light side starship deck?

My friend has a all starship deck, as do I. I use Sienar Fleet Systems, Wakeelmui, and twi'lek advisor as my starting stuff. He uses squadron assignments, and rendevouz point. Anyway, I am extremely easily beaten even though I think my deck is pretty good..I have all of saber squadron with matching pilots, all the other death star 2 ties with matching pilot, obsidian 10 with os-72-10, about 8 star destroyers to move the ties around, two dreadnaughts for the +1, boba in slave 1, bossk in hounds tooth, and about 15 common Tie interceptors. I have 3 combat responses in there as well to get stuff out quick, but I don't use it for a starting effect...also, i have 5 All Power to Weapons in there. Anyway, I was wondering if light side just kicks dark sides ass in space or if i'm makign a big deck mistake. Anyone have a similar deck or any ideas?

 

I have a few ideas. Put in the Executor, the one with good immunity to attrition. Another problem for you is probably activation. So maybe you can put in some good activating and draining systems for yourself and perhaps go for that whole Imperial Command Admiral Piett and Commander Merrejk combo from the Death Star II. Put in Grand Admiral Thrawn because he is a good star destroyers pilot. The best suggestion I can give you since you have so many TIE Interceptors is putting in a couple SFS L-s9.3 Laser cannons. These are the X-wing Laser Cannons of the darkside and can be a real pain to the opponents fighters.

 

I to have been working on a space/DS deck. I find it is easier to help people with if I can see the deck. So my first suggestion is to post your deck and if possible also post your friends deck. That way we can post comments like "fight that card with this card" and so on.

 

Guardsman - I do have a executor and 2 sfl laser cannons in there...and i get beat down every time. actually theres some cards missing from it, i will update it later when i get it straightened out, but this is basically it..

I think that might even come out to more then 60..I'm definetely taking out the senses and alter..probably piett too..although the senses can counter senses directed at my all power to weapons...BTW, i have about 10 more non unique tie interceptors but I didn't know where to put them in. And i have a dreaded imperial starfleet that should be here in a few days..

Any advice is great..

these are fun decks hence the lack of objectives and 37 senses, alters, and controls.....

 

Anyone got any ideas

 

Why? Why do I always lose when I play with you?

 

My first thought is that you loss because it looks like you have made a space deck with no real goal (other then beating your opponent). However you deck is a good start. Try to turn it into a DS or DS2 deck.

Here is an example of a decent DS deck:
CHARACTERS(10)
Skrilling x8
Garindan
U-3PO

STARSHIPS(13)
Executor
Stalker
Devastator
Tyrant
Conquest
Victory Class Star Destroyer x3
Dreadnaught-Class heavy Cruiser x2
Death Star Assault Squadron
Obsidian 7
Obsidian 8

INTERRUPTS(10)
Abyssin Ornament x2
Those Rebels Won't Escape Us x2
Control x2
Tarkin's Orders x2
It's Worse
Twi'lek Advisor

EFFECTS(16)
3,720 To 1 x5
Den Of Thieves x3
Imperial Decree x2
There'll Be Hell To Pay x2
Sudden Impact x2
Undercover
There Is No Try

LOCATIONS(11)
Death Star (Starting Location)
Kiffex
Yavin 4 x2
Hoth x2
Kashyyk
Tatooine
Kessel
Asteroid Field x2

It is a little old (made June 98) but it is a great start.

Here is a decent DS2 deck:

The DS one would die easily against his....the DS2 one might work, but I have every card in it except Endor Operations which I assume is the point of the deck

 

You are right, as is the DS deck would die easy. However, if you where to up date it... wow.

 

What is the point of having Death Star and 4 Yavin 4s in there???

 

That deck was built to fight different types of decks. Yavin 4 is a pretty good card 4 a space deck but since you know your friend is also playing a space deck you might want to change it.

The DS is there because it is a great card. Also all you would have to do is add cards like Superlaser, Death Star Gunner, Commence Primary Ignition, Set Your Course For Alderaan/The Ultimate Power In The Universe and then you could have a bunch of fun.

 

What are the skrillings for? Also, it might not be as hard to beat him now as before, because I realized that squadron assignments/combat response can only be used once a turn, and when we play with that right it will hurt his much more than mine.

 

To be used with the Den Of Thieves card.

 

Ah. Thanks. I doubt I'll add too many of those to my TIE deck, but I will make changes to my Death Star deck...I wish i had that objective though.
