Date Published: 2000-02-06
This tournament happened down in Boca Raton , Florida again
at Lost Realms. It was run by Stephan Nilson. First place was
all cards of one allegiance and Second place got the other
side. There was 13 competitors for this tournament.
Deck intro :
LS Deck - a LS deck.
DS Deck - 'Bittersweet Symphony' - Musicians
but this week I
had my grappler , Search and Destroy , and Battle Order in.
Game 1 : My LS versus Jason Selman's ECC Objective
I start my Y4 :Nudj thing and he starts the ECC
Objective (full-setup) and uses Any Methods Necessary to get
the Dengar theme. The first ten minutes all we do is deploy
stuff and draw. I put RliR1 at Bespin and save 2 for Spiral.
He drops down one of those special Obsidians and Dengar in
Punishing One but doesn't have enough to battle. I drop
Spiral with Lt. Tarn Mison and battle. I draw a 5 to get rid
of Dengar and he draws a 4 to kill my Red Leader. His ship
flees to the Cloud sector and I get to drain him for 2 at
Bespin for awhile. I Deploy GliG1 to the cloud sector with
Bron Burs and wipe out the special obsidian. I drain him for
4 in force drains for about 2-3 turns in a row. By now he's
activating 13 and I'm activating 20. He has Expand the
Empire on the Port Town District and deployed Lando with
Lobot at the Casino and won a game of Sabaac before moving
them over with 4-Lom , Jabba , and Jodo Kast. After that I
drop Beezer on the Spiral for forfeit and Harc Seff on Gold
Leader to save hide. He drops Executor up at Bespin and
attacks my Spiral. I draw a 5 and we are equal power. I
Tunnel Vision and deploy Falcon with Cpn Han , EPP Leia ,
and deploy Wedge on the Spiral and Battle. I draw a 10 in
Battle Destiny and he has to lose the Executor or 15
he
tosses the Executor and I rotate the Falcon and Gold Leader.
I drop Battle Plan and he has to pay for his drains while I
do to. Finally he spreads out and leaves Lando with Lobot.
I deploy Tawss Khaa , EPP Luke , Obi-Wan , and Yoxgit to
beat down on Lando and Lobot. Draw Their Fire is deployed :
I smack up Lando , and beat them down for them and 8 after
them. I move around on the ground and since I'm not paying
for Battle Plan he can't really do anything to stop my.
Win by 26
Record : 2 ( +18 )
Highlights : Smashing the Executor in raw power
Lowlights : Having to play cautiously.
Game 2 : 'Bittersweet Symphony' vs. Brad Barfield's Fallen Portal deck
I start my full setup and he starts Y4 War Room and
Insurrection. Eh ? Well First turn I drop Jabba , Scum and
Villiany , and Boelo. His first turn he deploys Obi-Wan
Kenobi w/ stick. Ok
. On my turn I deploy EPP Fett and battle.
Miss Obi and he hits Jabba but he has to lose 8 or Obi and
Obi goes down. Next turn he deploys Captain Han at Bespin :
Docking Bay and is done. Ok
I deploy Mara Jade and go fetch
her stick and battle. He plays Fallen Portal but doesn't
draw high enough and Mara smacks him and takes 2 force after
that. He deploys EJP Chewbacca to the Sarlaac Pit and 4
Musicians and Brangus Smack him. CotVGangster hits him for a
bunch of damage and I drain him away. Win by 26.
Record : 4 ( +44 )
Highlights : Not much
Lowlights : n/a
Game 3 : ' Bittersweet Symphony' v. Walter Cowart's Steven Lewis-ish Speeder Ops
Hmm. I've got two ways to do this. Start the 3 Effect
setup or start Battle Order. He starts Yargna and Clackdor
Ops. I get Jabba and Scum and Villiany setup again on turn
one. I drop Rystall to chill with Jabba for free. He takes
about 6-8 points of CotVG damage the game through. He drops
an op in a speeder and pays to drain me a few times. I drop
Lyn Me and EPP Fett along with Mara and Stick , and Umpass-stay
to beat up on an op in speeder for a Houjix. He doesn't have
many sites out so after not fearing Flapped Speeders I move
Umpass and Mara with stick to the Farm. He kicks out more
locations and starts setting the sites between my characters
to separate them. He drops another speeder op somewhere else
and kicks out Luke Skywalker with the norrmal Speeder Op
combo and another Speeder and finally puts out Ops. He flips
because he's got one normal Speeder Op combo , the Skywalker
site , and a site with normal Speeder Op combo with another
speeder. I start Helroting him to death. First I move Fett
and Lyn Me to the normal Speeder Op site : drop Chall Bekan
, Rappertunie , and DUN DUN DUN EJP DENGAR !!! battle
retrieving with First Strike and Scum. I shoot the Speeder
with Dengar ! Down goes the Op and 4. Hehe. He drains me
some more and I keep tossing my Ships because there is no
battleground systems out and for some reason I don't think
one is going out. Here comes the main blow
I elis Chall ,
Lyn Me , Fett , and drop another character or two with Dengar
to the Skywalker site. DUN DUN DUN !! EJP Dengar , EJP DENGAR !!!
First I target the Speeder with Skywalker in it
draw a 3 hmm
play the 3-Effect thing and BOOOM ! Skywalker's Speeder is
GOING DOWN ! Dengar runs and hides behind another tree : takes
aim and BOOM ! The Operative Speeder is hit too ! After all
is said and done I lose Chell Bekan and a musician and he
loses everything. Oh yeah the Objective Flips back. This is
the first time I've ever seen the Operative Objective flip
back. All thanks to EJP Dengar , he's a monster ! The only
way to make him eat up Speeder Ops better is to have him be
able to shoot at adjacent sites. HEHEHEHEH. EJP Dengar , EJP Dengar.
Win by 18-24. Record : 6 ( +6X )
Highlights : EJP Dengar
musician deck getting a real test
and coming through.
Lowlights : nothing.
Game 4 : LS v. Rene Hildago's EJP Obj Deck.
This game goes horrible for me. I deploy EPP Luke to
the Audience Chamber and drop Order to Engage versus him. He
deploys 4-Lom , blasts Luke , and draws 2 destiny to wipe out
Luke for Luke and 3 after that. I deploy Obi's Hut and Obi
and move him over to the Tatooine : DB. I draw up a bit and
we hit each other with 1 point drains. Obi decides he is a
bit hungry and goes back to civilization for food but he is
Always Thinking With His Stomach and gets lost at the
Docking Bay , high faluting new technology and all. Well he
deploys Mara Jade with Stick and Dr. Evazan at Obi's hut to
speed the game up. I drop a new Luke , Tawss Khaa , Beezer ,
and Wedge . Say I'm gonna win
Weapon Levitate the stick from
Mara , whack Mara ,and draw a 5 for destiny. He draws a 7.
Well wedge and Beezer die and Tawss and Luke live and he loses
5 after Evazan. It all went downhill after that. He has EPP
Fett , Jabba ( Big Daddy ) , 4-LOM , and IG-88 at the Audience
Chamber. I deploy Cpn Han , Jereon Webb , and Falcon at DB
to try to get Obi. Unfortunately he Elises that group to
Mr. Webb and Han's Site despite my Quite a Merc bluff. Eek !
He also drops Vader , and Outer Rim Scout and someone else.
He starts a battle. I'm in trouble. Fortunately IG-88 Misses
Han but EPP Fett Doesn't. He draws 4 Battle Destinies !
7 , 5 , 7 , and a 4 . Oh yeah Vader adds 1 to each of them .
He has exactly 40 power and I have to lose everything and 18
after that ( I drew a 6 for Battle Destiny ) That pretty
much did me in. I just run around and try to hit off as many
force as I can. At the end I line up my guys to get whacked
by his big group again. Loss by 26. Record : 6 ( +4X )
Highlights : the spectacular explosion of destinies , Rene
is a nice guy too.
Lowlights : I am now knocked into 3rd place which means I
don't get any of Stephan's collection and my $20 is turned
into an EPP Luke.
Well I get 3rd and can't seem to get a tournament in which I
go undefeated but then again it is pretty tough. David Irvine
went 4-0 ( Timed win against Rene Hidalgo who won second place ).
Dave was playing Ralltiir Ops and Yavin 4 Nudj mains I guess).
I buy 3 packs of Reflections and get an R2-D2 , Princess Leia ,
and Jabba. I trade the R2-D2 to Rene for a Foil Visage and Foil
Epic Duel. Well I believe that wraps it up from here. If
any one wants to trade for the Foil Leia let me know.
