Pretty straight forward, get the objective flipped, take out the death star, drain in space afterwards. Haven't made one of these yet, so comments and suggestions welcome:

 

Well, I played 4 games with it last night- 3 against my friend's Set Your Course... deck and 1 against his saber combat deck. The success of the deck seems to hinge on my first 3 or 4 turns. I pretty much rocked against the SYCFA deck, taking out the DS with all his sites taking +3 damage from Great Shot, Kid! pretty much annihilated him. However, the saber combat did some good damage against me...mainly because he was able to get dark jedi and such to yavin and I had trouble getting my rebel techs out, i still managed to destroy the death star though, on the last turn of the game, so he only won by 8 or so, so it was pretty close regardless.

I typically can flip on the second turn- deploy the Massassi HQ first turn preferably, deploy a pilot and his ship there, then next turn deploy the briefing room, throw down a pilot in their ship at the DB and then either a misc character like dodanna or gospic to the briefing room or a pilot there w/his ship to the DB. Then I flip, move the pilot to the DB, aboard his ship and all fighetrs take off and start gathering at yavin. From here, it all depends on how many turns it takes me to get the 4 or 5 nessasary cards out. I found that if i draw my whole force pile once or twice (and throw unneeded stuff back via traffic control, which hopefully isn't altered and hopefully my hand isn't grimtassh'd) i can bring it down to about 2 or 3 turns (i usually have at least 1 rebel tech and at least 1 attack run, death star or trench by then, so i only need to pull 1 or 2 things). From there, it's just a matter of getting the torps out, deploying the rebel techs (to massassi HQ if possible) and hopefully Dodanna to briefing room or Gospic to War room (or Major Palo). (the war room i basicly hope that i can draw it).

The ideal trench run is Luke (for ability), tiree (for his 1 bonus) and biggs (for "old times") but really, I'm pretty flexible with who goes on the run. Worst case scenario is I have an ability 2 pilot, with tiree's +1 bonus (total 3 thus far) plus only 3 yavin sites (total 6 thus far) plus 3 from the rebel techs (total 9 thus far) plus 1 from briefing room (total 10 thus far), plus 2 from massassi HQ (totaling 12 thus far) leaving me to draw a total of 4 or more from my two destiny, which I've been averaging 8 thus far.

There's really so many ways that could go, but I figure I have about a 95% chance of getting it done, depending on the game circumstances. So blowing the DS is no problem (if luke, tiree, gospic, techs, dodanna and the major are in place along with the 4th yavin site, I have a 19 total on attack run before even drawing the two destiny -not to mention if biggs is there + the use of old times gives me three destiny; so I have alot to work with for adpation to the circumstances). From there it's just a matter of splitting up my squads (the Bravo's to Naboo, etc).

It really comes down to how many turns it takes me to get my attack run set up and/or if the opponent is successful in deploying cards quickly to yavin to block my flip.

I am, however, gonna switch out 1 proton torpedo for a theed proton torpedo- that way, in case I am M'yoom Onithed, Bravo Squad can be my fallback option for an attack run. I'm also gonna try and squeeze in an All Wings Report In combo card, might make it easier to get Luke and Biggs together for Old Times in an attack run.

 

>>I would be very curious to see your friend's Set your course deck.<<

I'll ask Pinbustr300 to post it or PM it to ya.

 

hehe...sounds like one of the games me and Pin played- it literally came down to the one turn, if my attack run failed, he would have blown Yavin IV up as soon as it was his turn. Fortunately, i suceeded by 1, and caused him 30 damage, preventing him from deploying any of those pesky star destroyers he had in hand due toa lack of force in his life force...mwhahaha.

 

Ok, I run into trouble when the opponent manages to drop down characters early on in the game (particularly against combat decks since they tend to get maul and vader out quite easily), any suggestions to best defend Yavin IV? I was thinking along the lines of artillery weapons (medium repeater + blaster profiency) or maybe a disarmed or two to throw onto the sith to at least slow them down. I'm trying to find something that will work with only 3 or 4 cards, cause thats about all i can free up at the moment.
