Someone piloted this deck to top8 at this year's Worlds. Congrats to Travis Pakonen! Must be a fine player to pull this off. Gotta have patience.
I also still play it to this day but still catalog it as a fun deck.
What's the strategy behind it?
I saw the decklist and immediately loved it. Come out of the gate swinging. Flopping either DoY4 or SoS can swing games at times. I love the card draw and I like the high variance of the deck. Kind of what you need when staring down the Death Star ramp.
This made top 16 so I think it needs to be taken seriously as a tier 1 deck. Or at the very least if it draws reasonably well it's tier 1.
HATC gives you more cards to use with DOY4. It also makes it more likely you get that turn 1 Independence along with increasing the likelihood that you get Concentrated Firepower when you need it.
Home 1/Independence/Defiance is just a good capital ship core that can wreck havoc when the pieces hit right.
Apart from what kiramode mentioned, the deck is build to exploit Home1, which can come out strong depending on your starting hand. The dream setup is 8-103-197.
The other key card imo is Depot. Depending on the matchup and the setup, the deck can be played very offensively or very passively, the latter consisting in you building up your board for an alpha strike.
Took the list to the Benelux SC (10 people) and it went 4-0. I sleeved it up because I thought Solidarity could potentially be bonkers nowadays (with the new affiliations) but I was wrong. The deck still worked though.
