Qualifications
Cad Bane appears in 30.4% of the sampled top eights, nearly a third, so this is the matchup the list is configured for before any other.
You are the slower deck and you should be. Your base is 30 HP and every Imperial Door Technician death buys 2 of it back, which is a real clock extension against a deck built to end games early.
The Tree Remembers defeats any unit costing 3 or less outright, and strips abilities from anything bigger for the phase. Against a curve of cheap aggressive bodies it is the cleanest four-cost answer in the board.
PreserveImperial Door Technician · Imperial Armored Commando · Chimaera | A Frightening Reality · Keep every Sentinel body. Enemy units in an arena must attack a Sentinel, so a 4/3 with a Shield is not a blocker, it is a redirect.
Avoid · Do not eat your Sentinel units for Credits. The leader ability is not free here: the resource costs you the tax on their attack.
Avoid · Do not board out Hyperspace Disaster on the assumption they are a ground deck. Check what their list showed in game one before deciding.
