Overall strategy is to play powerful blue abilities at a discount while getting extra value from resolving their dice twice with Vader. Load up whichever character is not being targeted and pivot when they are. Overwriting into higher value abilities is key as well.

Key ramp cards include Blue Milk and Grow Beyond, but also Suppress Your Fears to focus a Vader damage side to his special.

Deny Death versus Rise Again is deliberate as being able to afford Renew and get to 5 resources is a stretch.

All 4 Barriss cards have Renew to ensure maximum ceiling on the ping damage from her PA. They also add lots of flexibility and, similar to Vader, mean that your discard pile is in many ways like an extension of your hand.

I typically activate Vader first, then through his special, or Grow Beyond, load up Barriss. As she becomes the target, pivot and play abilities on Vader.

Be very thoughtful about how you special chain. Think you found the most optimal chain? Think again. There’s probably another one.

This deck rewards lots of reps and sequencing properly. Don’t be afraid to play a 2 drop ability right out of the gate especially against non-aggro. Dark Devastation is a beast and should be prioritized whenever possible.

This deck is scary good - especially when majo is piloting it. With Vader's special and the Renew cards, it feels like playing against a ~40 card deck. Gross!

(and... a deck I'm looking forward to test-driving myself soon as a first real foray into blue villain!)
