This deck is part of the first Star Wars:Unlimited league I created — a collection of 12 decks, all from the initial Spark of Rebellion set. At the time of entry, that league is almost finished, having gone through a 22-game, double-round-robin season to test the concept. It's been a lot of fun, so much so that Leagues 2 and 3 have already been formed, though I won't play all of those games via paper (as I have with the League 1 test).
I don't know how IG-88 made this league when leaders like Han didn't get a deck, but here we are. In hindsight, I think the ability speaking to a clear strategy probably got it over the top. Get units out. Buff them up. Don't care about initiative, because you're probably never going to have it. Once IG-88 is out, raid the hell out of `em.
