The Unofficial Jedi's Guide to the YJCCG Galaxy is THE card strategy reference for Decipher's Young Jedi CCG. Starting with the first expansion, 'The Menace of Darth Maul', each individual card will be discussed until it can be discussed no further. Nevertheless, if I have missed something, email me at jinnandtonic@yahoo.com.au, and I will update it accordingly.
jinnandtonic's Grades:
Economy: A-
Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy is a very economical Battle card. For starters, it has a higher Destiny than any other Light Battle card in the Menace of Darth Maul expansion (Destiny = 5). It also has nicely effective game text: giving Power +3 to any one of your characters fighting on Tatooine. Yes, this is one of the few cards that you could probably include two of in all of your Light decks without doing it any damage.
Decipher: B
Hmm. Well I don't know. Dubious spelling of the title aside, I don't think the idea behind the card fits the card's function. Just because you realise that Tatooine lifeforms are crazy does not mean you are automatically stronger on that planet. It doesn't really make much sense. I really do like the idea behind the card, and the image is okay, but there are probably better ways of implementing such a card.
Overall Usefulness: A-
Lets face it: more often than not, you will be fighting a few battles on Tatooine in your average YJCCG game. Don't forget that the Dark side has a nice advantage on Tatooine thanks to their array of Podracers, Droids and Snipers. No matter what deck theme you are using, a little extra firepower for your Light force on Tatooine wouldn't go astray. Not only that, but this card has a fantastic Destiny. It is the perfect card for your Anakin-themed deck, or any number of other deck themes focusing on high Destiny cards or Tatooine. While Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy is certainly not The Negotiations Were Short, it is just as effective and almost as versatile.

SPECIFIC INTERACTING CARDS:
------------------------------------------------
Any character on Tatooine. Potentially any Light character.
-------------------
IN BRIEF:
-------------------
Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy is probably one of the top five most useful Light cards in the Menace of Darth Maul, probably the second most useful Light Battle card in any case. Providing a Power bonus equivalent to that of The Negotiations Were Short, it has a higher Destiny than that card as well! It is obviously also not restricted to the first character in your battle plan. The drawback -- that it is only usable on Tatooine -- is a significant one, but that does not mean you should opt for The Negotiations Were Short over Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy. Rather, these two Battle cards work together well in tandem in any deck that is unsure of what Battle cards it should use. While you won't want any more than 3 of this card in your deck (maybe 3 is even stretching it), you could probably include that many copies of Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy in any Light deck you care to construct. A good card.
-------------------------------
GENERAL PLAY TIPS:
-------------------------------
* What ratio should you use of this card to The Negotiations Were Short? If you have no real need for any other Battle cards, go for something like 7-3 or 8-2 in favor of The Negotiations Were Short. When it gets to the point where you are using 4 themed Battle cards (e.g. Counterparts or Fear Attracts the Fearful, etc.) then the balance should probably be more like 5-1 in favor of The Negotiations Were Short. Any more than 4 themed Battle cards and it is more of a matter of personal preference as to whether you include Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy or not.
* Style Tip: Use Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy with Jar Jar Binks / Gungan Chuba Thief to fight back against Sebulba.
* Comment: This is one of only two Battle cards in the Menace of Darth Maul expansion with a title in the Gungan language. The other? Yousa Guys Bombad!

ADDITIONS:
------------------
Up to you. Think of anything else cool about his card, or combos that you have used to great effect? What about a particular game in which this card made you win? Send anything like that to jinnandtonic@yahoo.com.au and I'll add it here. When Jar Jar utters 'Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy', does he realise that he is insulting Anakin, Shmi and co. at the same time? He probably isn't referring to them, but it is something to think about. (e.g. another Jar Jar stuff-up?)
