About Count Dooku in the Star Wars Universe

Dooku was a Jedi Master who fell to the dark side of the Force and became the Dark Lord of the Sith, known as Darth Tyranus. Born on the planet Serenno, he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Dooku was taken by the Jedi Order as a child and apprenticed to Thame Cerulian. As a Jedi Knight, he took Qui-Gon Jinn as his first Padawan, and later trained Komari Vosa. Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in the galaxy. Only Masters Yoda and Mace Windu were considered his equals. Dooku spent nearly seventy years as a Jedi, but a disastrous battle on Galidraan shook his faith in the Order and the Galactic Republic. He fell under the influence of Senator Palpatine of Naboo, and left the Jedi Order. After learning that Senator Palpatine was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Dooku turned to the dark side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith himself, replacing the slain Darth Maul as Sidious's second apprentice. His new master bestowed upon him the Sith title of Darth Tyranus.

Why tweak Dooku?  To make him closer to the Dooku we saw in Episode 2.  Although Dooku certainly isn’t a weak deck, his deck strength doesn’t live up to his formidable movie persona.  Also, since the deck was written before the movie came out, the signature component of LIGHTNING had been left out of his deck.

Tweaks:

Replace:

1x FORCE DRAIN
1x GIVE ORDERS 

With:

2x DARK LIGHTNING: Inflict 3 damage to anyone on board; victim must discard 1 card.
2x Tweak the remaining GIVE ORDERS cards by adding “draw a card”.
2x Tweak FORCE PUSH by increasing the damage from 1 to 2.

Themes: Power and control
Path to Victory: TAUNTING, TAUNTING and more TAUNTING
Strengths: High attacks, high direct damage, high card-drawing power, force push, strong minors
Weaknesses: Mediocre defense
Strategy: Use minors and draw cards early to buy time for Dooku to draw multiple TAUNTINGS
Test Level: Very High
Tier: 1 (lower end)

Notes: Dooku admittedly misses FORCE DRAIN but now has considerable direct damage and even more card-drawing power to go along with those 4 TAUNTINGS. FORCE PUSH and DARK SIDE LIGHTNING are a nasty combination for isolating and damaging an opponent and his ability to inflict direct damage from a distance makes him an outstanding teammate. Only his lack of power defense prevents him from being one of the very strongest decks.
