Medusa and Harpies
by Restoration Games (Rob Daviau and Justin Jacobson)

Medusa is considered the strongest of the original 4 decks by many fans.  Her advantages are her 1 damage special ability and her annoying harpies, which she can bring back to life (something we like to do with Tarkin, Nute and the Great Goblin).

3x SNIPE

Notes:

– This is clearly Clash of the Titans circa 1983 Medusa.

– While I don’t see DASH or SNIPE in any other decks, I don’t see why anyone else couldn’t use them as part of their basic deck.

    A very strong ranged deck.
    For a ranged deck, Medusa has too many defences in my opinion, granting her a bit too much staying power, so I tweaked one card, HISS AND SLITHER; now it has defense 2.
