This was the Top deck that looks at the hand at least 22 times in a game. And went 0-8 at a 77 player tourney

Plo Koon - Jedi Protector is back and he is more focused than ever! He has Traded away some of his secrecy and gone full blown Research mode.

Old tricks die hard however and the once Trusted Informant informants no longer carry the critical key to the puzzle. As such they have been acting as Decoys while Plo gets to see as much as possible. This deck looks at more cards than ever before.

Foresight, Insight all types of sight! Plo has it in spades.

The Force Illusion was dropped as it was getting in the way of the research. Plo also decided there was no need for 2 Masters of the Council. Gone is merely Bamboozling the opponent now they are completely Bewildered.

Additionally while Plo Koon's Starfighter was his pride and joy, during a session Gathering Intelligence he discovered he was 19 times more likely to die in a freak friendly fire flying incident where a 10 year plan to assassinate all Jedi by turning their most trusted friends and allies against them is undertaken, than if he just walked places from now on. Better safe than sorry Plo likes to say.

This deck was certainly the top deck that Was these exact 30 cards and 3 characters at the tourney you ask anyone you and they will tell you No Questions Asked!

OLD WRITE UP

Plo Koon - Jedi Protector isn't just any Jedi master, he is the most savvy and lovable master of them all. He is wise like Yoda, strong like Mace, loyal like Obi-wan, and probably just as concerned about the droid attack on the Wookies as Ki-Abi-Mundi. All that aside what makes him truly special is his ability to leave the Jedi Temple - Coruscant to go into Coruscants hidden underbelly and carry out Clandestine Operations

Every Card has its place in this perfect sting, knowledge is power and this deck will let know you everything the opponent is doing at all times.

Updgrades-

Force Illusion This allows Plo to get in undetected.

Macrobinoculars These allow Plo to identify threats from miles away

Maz's Goggles Allow you to magnify and concentrate on the details of current events

Tough Haggler Is useful for keeping your resources up and if during the negotiation your opponent lets slip more information the better for you.

Master of the Council Is there for when Plo reveals his true place in the order. It's a good thing he haggled so toughly as the lavish life style of the Master is costly. Conveniently being master has its benefits allowing Plo to reactivate and look at their hand twice more.

Supports-

Dex's Diner Jedi's do eat, and Dex's diner is the main hang out of Obi-wan

Jedi Council Plo is Diligent in reporting to the council but unfortunately they aren't as savvy as our good friend and they tend to discard 1 out of every 2 leads he brings them.

Plo Koon's Starfighter Get to where you are going in style

Street Informants These are who the Trusted Informants use as foot troops. If Plo is the Heart then they are the blood.

Streetwise The number one requirement for this sort of operation, you have to be prepared.

Events-

"Fair" Trade Plo knows when you have to give your contact a little something something, but he will always makes sure its more Fair for his current mission.

As I Have Foreseen & Force Vision represent Plo's ability to use the force to find the hidden schemes and he frequently uses this keep even his informants on their toes

Negotiate, Double-Cross, Easy Pickings, Impersonate are all the various skills Plo uses that aren't his force related abilities. They are no less for it.

Friends in Low Places are a necessary evil. Plo knows not everyone is low by their choosing and their can be good found among the bad. Who says good people can't steal information either.

Scruffy Looking Nerf-Herder is Plo's go to insult. If someone steps out of line they get hit with the Nerf-herder bat. You know you are in the Poo-Doo if Plo calls you this.

Bamboozle & Pacify will be explained in the mulligan section.

The main strategy you need to employ when piloting this deck is uncovering what is in the opponents han. By meeting with only the most Trusted Informants Plo maintains his cover and gets that information not only once but twice just by activating. Nothing intimidates the opponent like you having know their entire plan, except having you know it twice! That is just the first activation, by the time the first round is over you will have more knowledge on them than the tax man has on someone who underpaid their taxes by 1 cent.

For mulligans you want to hard mull for #bamboozle playing this round 1 is a huge way to sow confusion in the opponent. Shuffle away any Pacify's as they will be needed later. Usually around the 107th time you have asked to look at their hand they will be fairly irate and you will need to play this.

The last part for successfully piloting the deck is ettique. Plo isn't a barbarian, he is from a civilized age, therefore you must ask as follows "Unfortunately circumstance dictates i must look at your hand, please comply and this will be over shortly" Word it exactly like this every time, even if you have just looked at their hand. Your opponent will appreciate it.

Last thing to note if anyone ever has a Jedi or Clone in their line up if you every have to look at their opponents hand you should conceed. Plo would never rat on Plo's Bros.

Good luck!

I ran this at my regional and I must say that this is TOP DECK WITH CHARACTERS THAT ARE SUNSMART AND WEAR SUNGLASSES. Nobody could stop me that day, I had so much knowledge about their hand.

I love it. Nice work on both the old and new write up. Reading this made me laugh and brightened my day up.

@stranglebat This is a high reward joke in my book! I was driving around today just LOLZing to myself thinking about ole Plo adjusting his Maz's Goggles to have another look!

stranglebat 832

Haha thanks everyone :)

No results for a mirror-match??

stranglebat 832

@JuzFuzz The mirror is gruelling. I would suggest holding insight so you can tuck away some cards after they have been seen and wouldnt be opposed to adding 2 lightsaber pulls so you can fail to find light sabers and then shuffle your deck!

Ok is this 0 wins 8 losses? Or 8 wins 0 losses? I looove the thematic use of Plo and his trusted informants but is this all just a real fun bit? Or actually a pretty good deck that has some hilarious themes built into it?

Solsticejf 156

@michogrande Pretty sure it’s 8-0... with such knowledge, how could one fail ;)

Solsticejf 156

I'd suggest swapping one the trusted informant for a Rebel Engineer and possibly going Elite with Plo Koon with adding the Bitter plot... Because, well Plo Koon is someone to be wreckoned with! That way, when you look at your opponents hand in the first round you'll have one more card to look at, and you'll also be able to look at the top 4 cards of your deck... so much knowledge!!!
