Deck I am working on, Grievous unleashed
Grievous unleashed.
This is General Grievous (E), he has 3 main powers, 1, to pay 0 force and untap, this has a limit, you can only do it 1 time for each equipment attached to him, he has 2 limits on equipment, first, only 2 per a turn can be attached, and second a max of 4 total*
The * makes the world of difference, if you have more then 4 equipment cards attached to a different version then, when you move E to the top, you don't have to remove them, letting you get more free untaps.
The next card is the card the will let this unit control the game, Weapon Turret (WT), BoH #90.
With this equipment, you have the power to attack units in any arena using 3 power + any other effects, in combo with GG(E) this will let you attack with 3+ power, and then untap and do it again, the draw back for this card is high equip cost, 2 build.
This is when our next friend comes in Imperial Munitions Specialist, (IMS) BoH #29.
This little beast, is very powerful, for each on in your hand, you may pay 2 force, and search your deck for any equipment, letting you get out any spare SL, WT, SM. as it lets you equip without paying the cost, for the first turn after it is deployed, making WT free, along with any other 0 build equipment, which brings me to my next point GG(E) even with WT will only be able to attack with 3 power, times X, X being how many equipment you have on him, the next boost Stolen Lightsaber (SL), RaW # 118.
With this beast, you pay 0 build, and if IMS was played that turn 0 force, you get a 1+ health, and with it on GG(E) you get +1 power, you will be able to attack with +1 power so 3x of it, + 1 WT will allow 6 power attacks to any arena 5 times a turn, for a cost with IMS of 0 build, 0 force.
And lastly that little * again, another combo would be to use Sith Markings (SM) (IoN #51), to move GG(E) from the bottom to the top of the stack, after having more then 4 equipment on the stack.
With this, For a cost of only 6 build for General Grievous (B), and 3 more for each of the other 3 GG in the stack, 4 more for IMS, and 1 for Sith Markings, for a total of 14 build, and only 3 force.
You will get a card that can attack ground and space with 10 power, or Character with 13 power, and upwards of 7 times a turn, (4x Stolen Lightsabers, 1x WT, 1x Sith Markings.) And if you need to save some force, then don't use the Sith markings, and do 1 mega attack to one of our opponents units with an equipment on it, gaining it for the bounty, so the next turn with GG(E) you would get another attack.
More or less the deck so far has this.
Character (12 cards)
General Grievous (E)4x
General Grievous (A)1x
General Grievous (B)2x
General Grievous (C)1x
Imperial Munitions Specialist 4x
Equipment (10 cards)
Weapon Turret 4x
Stolen Light saber 4x
Sith Markings 2x
Remember this is still untested, beta version, I think I will end up adding some force/build gain, and a draw power, maybe a Krayt Dragon or 2...

Battle of Hoth released.
By Trent McCrow
Six years ago, in 2003, Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) released their sixth expansion for the Star Wars Trading Card Game (SWTCG) based on The Empire Strikes Back. Six years down the track the Independent Development Committee (IDC) is releasing its sixth expansion for the SWTCG based on the very same film that WOTC’s sixth expansion was based from.
This bizarre occurrence of the number six continues still. WOTC’s sixth expansion introduced us to the sixth card type in the SWTCG, Locations and the IDC’s sixth expansion contains sixty cards.
So with the sixth expansion from both WOTC and the IDC being based on the film that is the fan favourite out of all six of the Star Wars films being produced six years apart from each other and with the IDC’s sixth expansion containing sixty cards this sets us up for something special.
To get your hands on something special in the Battle of Hoth expansion click on the following links:

About the Author
Trent is currently doing what he loves best and that is be involved with the SWTCG and the IDC in particular. He is a reporter at Rebelbasers.com and is looking to revive the RB community in the near future. After his break from the IDC while he was teaching English in Hong Kong for a month Trent returned home and moved back to College, where he is currently studying a Bachelor of Theology / Bachelor of Ministry. He also has no friends so you should add him to MySpace… http://www.myspace.com/proph37 Despite all that, he still has time to introduce the game to new players…KEEP THE GAME ALIVE!"
^^^ was taken from the IDC website.
And we also have a new card of the week
This is the most interesting card put out, as it will let you attack one arena from another, letting your power horse cards like Luke (L), attack space or ground units with 3 power + any other effects, so if you have 3 other unique Character, then Luke (L) will be able to attack any space or ground unit with 9 dice. (3 base + 2+ power x3=9)
Just think of cards that have overload+overkill, this card can be a big help to controlling all arenas with 1 super card, Krayt Dragon might make a comeback as it could destroy all the starfighters to untap.

Invasion of Naboo Prediction Contest
Some of you may be familiar with the previous prediction contests run by Sobejjj, DOC_NASTY, RedneckJedi and most recently Darth Joker and myself. They have always provided a place where fans of the SWTCG can predict competitively what card names will be in the set. With the release of the Invasion of Naboo (ION) expansion, by the Independent Development Committee (IDC), just around the corner it has now come time for the next instalment of this contest.
The Invasion of Naboo Prediction Contest is going to be supported with a prize for the Rebelbasers.com member who correctly guesses the most names of cards in the ION expansion. So without further ado, I give you the IDC's ION Prediction Contest!!
Invasion of Naboo Prediction Contest Rules
- This contest will end on:
To be Announced - Each Rebelbasers.com member is only allowed one entry.
- IDC Members and those with access to a list of ION cards cannot participate in this contest. If they do they are breaking the rules of IDC and it's Charter (as well as spoiling this contest).
- For an entry to be valid it must contain a list of 25 names (no more, no less). These names are your predictions of the names (and versions) of cards in the ION expansion.
- You can't post an entry that is an identical list to another valid entry.
- You can only submit one entry.
- Your entry can't contain any spoilers that had been released before the time you posted your entry. If it does I will PM you and you can change your list by replacing the Spoiled card name with another of your choosing.
- It will be at my (IVIaceWindu) discretion if you have posted a spoiled name or not.
- You can modify your entry at any time within the first 24 hours of it's submission. Any modification of your entry after this 24 hour period will void your entry and automatically disqualify you from the contest, unless I have given you permission to change and/or modify your entry.
- The Rebelbasers.com member/s who correctly guess the most names of cards in the ION expansion, from a submitted and valid entry, will receive a prize.
- I, IVIaceWindu, can modify, make changes to, add or delete any rules in this contest at any time without question. All entry's submitted after a rule is modified, changed, added or deleted must follow the latest rules of the contest to be a valid entry and eligible for the prize.
- By submitting your entry into this contest you are agreeing to abide by the rules and acknowledge the right of IVIaceWindu to change any aspect or rule of this contest at any time without objection.
- The card title must be exactly the same as the card name. (Example: If you predict Qui-Gon Jinn (X), and it's simply Qui-Gon Jinn or expanded to Ambassador Qui-Gon Jinn (X), it does not count as a correct prediction.)
- There are no "spelling penalties" for special characters, provided the letter equivalence is obvious. (Example: e = é, a = â and á, etc.)
- There are no "spelling penalties" for punctuation marks. They will be ignored if they're in the actual card name, and/or as a pick in the prediction contest. This includes apostrophes, commas, periods, exclamation points, etc.
- Based on the Revenge of the Sith predictions, a "spelling penalty" will be incurred when using a "0" (zero) in place of an "O" (oh) and vice-versa.
- Your predictions containing proper nouns require capitalization. If you predict millennium falcon (M) but the card is actually Millennium Falcon (M), your guess will be incorrect. However, for non-proper nouns, you will not be penalized. For example; if you predict the name Give In to your Anger and the actual card is Give in to Your Anger, you will still have a correct prediction. I will be the final judge in this matter and my ruling will be final.
At the moment this is yet to be advised.
Current Spoiled card names
- Aks Moe (A) (IDC Article 19 September 2008)
- Senate Repulsorpod (IDC article 19 September 2008)
- Sith Master and Apprentice (A) (IDC article 17th October 2008)
- Dark Rage (IDC article 17th October 2008)

Invasion of Naboo
Which Faction Do You Choose?
Tensions are high among the organizations of the Republic. The Naboo, a normally peaceful people, have an uneasy truce with the aquatic inhabitants of their planet: the Gungans. The once-good diplomats of the Galactic Senate are being corrupted and toyed with by a mysterious puppet-master. These tensions could resolve themselves in time - if it weren't for a sudden and unexpected move by the Trade Federation: invasion!
The lines have been drawn for the five factions of the invasion. The lithe Naboo plan for guerrilla warfare. Politicians try to keep things under control from the haven of Coruscant as the Sith disorganize and disorient the forces of good from behind the scenes. The Trade Federation unleashes its waves of droids and massive warships to destroy all in its path. Caught in the middle, the Gungans just may be the deciding force in this war.
In the fifth expansion created by the Independent Development Committee (IDC), you will control the events of the Invasion of Naboo. Will you resist the invasion, fight for your freedom against the Trade Federation oppressors, or split the Galactic Senate in half with your plans for revenge? There is only one certainty: you will face new strategies and fight in whole new ways for victory!
Whether fighting on the front lines, debating in the Senate, or plotting from the shadows, the galaxy will rest on your shoulders! In this Invasion of Naboo, every supporter could tip the war for a faction: who do you support?
Preview Cards
as more cards come I will post them, and some combos also.

The Trailer & Poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars
First Theatrical Trailer for Animated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS to Premiere Exclusively Across Multiple Turner Networks Thursday, May 8 Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang All to Showcase Newest Star Wars Adventure at 7:58 p.m.
Star Wars fans will get an unprecedented look at the newest intergalactic adventure on Thursday, May 8, when the world-premiere trailer for the upcoming CG-animated movie Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuts across five Turner networks simultaneously.
At 7:58 p.m. in all U.S. time zones, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang will debut an action-packed, two-minute preview of the animated adventure from creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation. It marks the first time a theatrical trailer has received a simultaneous, cross-network airing on Turner Networks. The trailer debuts in theaters on Friday, May 9, along with the first poster for the movie. The poster is available for pre-order exclusively at StarWarsShop. Check it out here.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars opens in movie theaters Aug. 15.
"By combining the power of the Turner Networks and the power of the Force, we're able to create a fantastic event for Star Wars fans of all ages," said Howard Roffman, vice president of Lucasfilm Ltd. "We're incredibly proud of The Clone Wars, and eager to be able to showcase it for the first time in such an exciting way."
The newest tale of adventure, intrigue and excitement in a galaxy far, far away combines the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars Saga with a signature animation style from Lucasfilm Animation.
On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains -- led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous -- are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
The theatrical release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars tells an all-new story that leads directly in to this fall's premiere of a weekly, animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.

Reminder: SWTCG is not Yu-Gi-Oh (IDC RAW)
Artillery Cannon
Derelict Battleground
Enraged Charge
Flalios (A)
General Grievous (E)
Assault Gunship
Republic Gunship Squadron
Starfighter Modifications
Tyranus's Fury
We'll see how Mace Windu's Lightsaber (A) turns out.Still a Good SetNow, just because I recommend a public embargo on those cards, doesn't mean the rest of the set is somehow noobish mistakes as well. Their not. In fact, there are a lot of masterful ideas in this set that I look forward to testing out. But these cards are going to dominate the meta and some make older cards forever obsolete that shouldn't be made obsolete.

General Grievous (E) see below
cards that MIGHT end up being restricted
General Grievous (E) way to powerful with 4 things on him he will have about 14+ power and can attack 4 times ?? way OP
wicked awesome cards that are sweet and maybe a little OP
Commerce Guild Droid Line with 4 of these your droids will have 8+ heath SWEET
General Grievous (F) not being able to prevent damage NICE
Ilum Temple Nice just nice
Aayla Secura (C) way good abilities for 5 build
Geonosian Starfighter Swarm I just like it =D

Star wars TCG + IDC + FDC decks
"OK, so here it is...I did my best matching images from the movies. Where an image didn't match the movie, the character or unit does. Overall, there's no mistake it has a Utapau feel to it.
Obi and Grevious will be able to battle in the character and ground arenas (piloting boga and the Wheelbike respectively). I used Syncronized Systems for the dark side as all of their characters are droids. So it was a good fit. Grievous will be able to acquire equipment from defeated characters. There are 8 equipment cards also. Grievous will pick up the equipment laying around."

Updates
I have updated the DCC's. I am going to put up a deck of the week and ya that is all.
