It took me a while to figure out how great these were together. Both Jabba the Hutt - Renowned Gangster and Bib Fortuna - Majordomo have double special sides. Jabba the Hutt - Renowned Gangster special chains nicely and counts all the specials showing (including his die) and does indirect for each special at time of resolving his die. Since your spending specials, Bib Fortuna - Majordomo's lets you roll in Jabba's die again for another possible special and surprisingly i roll specials pretty frequently with their dice. Rest of the upgrades are cards with at least 2 specials to increase the chance for specials overall. Formidable is good especially if you can get it first round and opponent has just gotten Darth Vader - Terror To Behold his Darth Vader's Lightsaber. Formidable will let you move it over to other character and nullify the extra shenanigans (if the damage from that was not blocked of course). This deck also makes money pretty well, with Respected Businessman, XS Stock Light Freighter (that has 3 specials) and My Kind of Scum. I think ideal 1st hand depending on opponent is Respected Businessman + Underhanded Tactics (for 1 resource cost) and some mitigation like By Any Means or Entangle or Doubt. Added 2 Friends in High Places for the quick jumpstart on a Firespray-31 or Crime Lord/Crime Lord. Could trade out the Con Artist for a 2nd Formidable since specials on that help you move opponents weapons around. Also remember that Underhanded Tactics lets you resolve another die (of any type) while you resolve it (which is good to grab some of that money if a side is rolled) and continue special chaining. The idea with Salvage Stand and My Kind of Scum was to really work on opponents money which can really put them off. Going after the money is a key component and i don't see it done much especially competitively. Keeping them poor forces their choices to change dramatically especially where they want to use Fear and Dead Men or other costed events (upgrades). The idea for the mods was to add some protection from Dismantle and even if you only have XS Stock Light Freighter out, adding the upgrades just makes sense as it will continue adding to the damage if and when it is rolled in. For the battlefield choice, i like Bendu's Lair - Atollon only cause with the special chains being able to claim first is not difficult and having Bendu die at your disposal may add extra pressure that forces them to deal with it (maybe forcing them to spend a removal card on it). This deck probably could use some tweaks and it is infinite based but their special chain interaction is very unique and would love to see what people could do with this. Also i'm really surprised that people are playing Greedo - Unlucky Mercenary with Darth Vader - Terror To Behold rather than Bib cause greedo has less health and his dice (even together) suck vs being able to roll in Vader's dice again.
