Of note, it's actually an important distinction that the Death Star cannot be affected by enemy card effects instead of cannot be targeted. Cards that can't be targeted are only protected from effects that specifically use the term "target."
should have :
"Forced reaction : After a "X-Wing" is focus to strike, sacrifice the Death Star"
How about "After Red Five is focused to strike[...]"?
The set's main strength is in the ramp ability. If you actually get the Death Star on table, it's great and possibly wins the game by itself. But more consistently you're using it to ramp out capital ships, use the Engineers to attack and defend with your big Star Destroyers, and using the Death Star as an edge card.
Definitely the ramp ability. In my experience I got the Death Star out in less than half of the games I played with it. It's definitely got merit as an edge-killer though.
For what it's worth though I've never play aggro Navy Capital Ship decks (I just ran the Death Star like everyone else did until it got restricted with Endor Entrapment). I can definitely say though that Navy Fortress without this pod is a very viable deck archetype for competitive play. Give me a holler if you want a more in-depth explanation.
