Part 1 is Called 'Stitches'. This is Part 2...
Short Deck Intro :
LS-HB/ Mains
DS- Musicians
Game 4 : ' The Wretched' v. Leonard Mitchell's Tatooine
Celebration deck...
Start : CotVG w/ 3 Effect thing. Obi's Hut ,convert
Audience Chamber. Ok. First off this was probably my
best game of the day ... the Slugfest with Ira were
maybe a miniscule under this game. He deploys Tawss Khaa
to the Jundland Wastes ( his ) and draws up. I go and get
my Docking Bays while I drop Hutt Smooches to my objective
for damage. He hits me a few times with the drain of 2 before
I set up Battle Order and the game starts moving along.
He deploys Cantina , Mos Eisley , Tatooine system ,
and one more random.tatooine.site and sets up Celebration
with Gold Leader and Wedge I think. So here's the setup :
AChamber ( He won't go here ) , Entrance Cavern , Jabba's
Palace , Sarlacc , Hut , Eisley , Cantina , Tatooine. I
decide to try to stop his moving Harc Seff , EPP Luke ,
and Tawss Khaa by tempting an Elis... BTW he has like +20
cards in hand so he grapples it and Senses it ( Loses 2
more ) , I play another one and it gets through but he
Nabruns them all away back to like Mos Eisley ( Next time
Gadget ). He also has Boussh out but he keeps forgetting to
move her and stuff so he decides to make her useful. I
decide to strike up at the system. Zuckuss in Hunter , an
Outer Rim Scout , and Rappertunie go up the Tatooine system
to beat up on the Gold Leader. He throws some junk up there
but here is the basic situation he has a drain of 4
( Cantina and Jundland Wastes ) , Celebration for 2 , and
Order to Engage is out. I have Zuckuss in Hunter , ORS ,
and Rappertunie up at Tatooine , Jabba Boelo and 4-LOM a
Jabba's Palace , Mara Jade w/stick Evazan Sy Snootles and
like Brangus at Entrance Cavern , and enough musicians at
the Audience Chamber to hold it. He puts down like Lando in
Falcon , Tantive 4 , and some pilots to help up in space.
They knock off Rappertunnie and my Outer Rim Scout
and he puts a Gimer Stick on Boushh after breaking cover
and moves Boushh to the 'Ley Jabba no boder' site ( Jabba
,4-LOM , Boelo ). Hmm. He also has Tatooine Celebration out
but is at least paying for Secret Plans. He knocks out my
ORS and Rapster and retrieves and then it is my turn.
I finally get a few good shots of Un Harc Seff-able drains
in so he is starting to take some solid damage. I decide
to take the 3 on the chin and land the Zuckuss in Hunter
at the Le Jabba No Boder site. He does his drains and junk
but he is in trouble now and he thinks the space system is
safe. He starts dropping down Jereon Webb and other pilots
he had up there to get more force for Celebrating. Hehe...
I remember I retrieved Fett in his ride a few turns back so
I activate about 7 force... deploy Fett from Reserve with
the Objective battle ...retrieve 3 Force , draw a 5 to take
down another ship , and then bring up the SUPA SHIP.
Remember that Zuckuss in Hunter that landed well now he has
4-LOM , Boelo , Jabba , and an Outer Rim Scout (translation
: 2 destinies , 7 power , cancel your destiny) that spells
doom for him. I get to drain for free and he holds the
system for maybe 2 or 3 more celebrations but I've got him
now. I just made Boussh useless again because if she
moves over she'll get destroyed by Mara Jade and company.
He shuttles EPP Luke and Boussh up to the system but they
go down pretty quickly with me drawing 2 destinies and
such. I also throw Chell Bekan out to battle Harc Seff and
retrieve 3 more while he loses 1. In the end I manage to
eek it out by 8. Win by 8 . Record : 6 ( +22 )
Highlights : Excellent game
my best game of the weekend.
Lowlights : Nothing really.
Game 5 : ' The Fragile' v. Hugh Shelton's Tatooine
Occupation
Well he starts Tatooine and Security Precautions and I
start everything And grab Wise Advice. I go get systems
and get my generation up Very quickly while he deploys the
Jundland Wastes and later puts A PotF on it so that is when
I decide I can commit Luke and Obi To the Wastes while on
later turns I re-inforce it with Jeroen Webb , Tawss Khaa ,
and Corporal Beezer. The first time he attacks it with
Choke Vader , Mara , Tarkin , and Dengar to which I lose
Beezer to a choke and Tawss gets hit by Dengar , I slash
Tarkin and Dengar and attrition out Mara. I play Gift of
the Mentor for multiple destinies but he plays Boring
Conversation Anyway which I grapple just in case. Here is
something
I have a Skywalkers in hand and I play Tunnel
Vision and see EPP Leia in there so I grab her and look at
my hand again and see that my Skywalkers is gone ! WTF ?
I'm a bit baffled and guess that I put it into my Active
Pile so I just deploy Leia anyway and battle Versus Vader
and beat him down for him and like 5-6 after him which
Would've been much worse with the Skywalkers. He deploys
U-3PO To the Wastes to shut down my drains so I throw the
Falcon to Kashyyyk for the deploy -2 for Cpn Han and throw
EPP Leia with him. Later he comes after me with Vader ,
Veers , Brangus , and a few others but gets another Gift
from the Mentor which clears them out again. He gets
The Devastator down at Tatooine or some where and I
deploy Order to Engage and start chasing him around while
I track A Few Manuevers and Play On the Edge to retrieve
back 5 force each time. He runs the Devastator To Dagobah
and probes but I tell him to take the probe card because
it can only be 2-8 parsec but with Dagobah Rules he can't
deploy to Dagobah so he has to eat the 3 to Order to Engage
and so I keep following the Devastator around and hit him
for probably like 12 force before he probes the right
system . I It Could Be Worse the damage and keep rolling
after him. Eventually he battles and Ghhhks but I play
Legendary Starfighter which hurts him some more before he
is dead. Not much he could do this game. Win by 20-26 I
think.
Highlights : Deck working fine.
Lowlights: Beating a friend of mine pretty badly right after
coming Back into the game. He didn't really have a chance
this whole game.
Game 6 : 'The Wretched' v. Clint Hays' Clackdor 7 Ops
Heh. He starts normal Op stuff and I start Court with B O.
I'll summarize this from EPP Luke's point of view since he
was deployed 3 times. First time he walks into the Audience
Chamber but notices a cut in his arm so he can't swing his
saber and just takes out the ORS who was anxious to plunder
his weapon for sale on the black market, next time he was
deployed he slashed Jabba and took out another musician
before dying this time. Last time he is deployed he is a
bit too overconfident
he is wise to Clash Fett and hits
someone with his stick and attrition but he should've
known some serious smackdown was gonna be coming
when I didn't draw battle destiny. Sometimes not drawing
battle destiny is Tech versus EPPs J Well lets just say
EPP Luke might've had his weapon when he was obliterated
But it wasn't in his hand
it was probably stuck where the
Double suns of Tatooine never shined. Win by 26.
Record : 10 ( +70 )
Highlights : Pretty much everything.
Lowlights : putting serious smackdown on a bud.
So I go 5-1 with +70 differential and get 4th place which
Is good for the Uncommon sheet of Premiere for Light Side.
Charlie Herren came in 1st with Throne Room Mains and
Ralltiir Ops. After the tournament we go to the Holiday
Inn and play like 8 hours of video game between me ,
Lee , Dan , Charlie Herren , Ira , and Andreas. Charlie
Was the only one who got any sleep. Heh
I have to
Tell you guys about the Holiday Inn's little bar called
The Austin Texas Steakhouse Saloon ;) Ira told me the
Miami crew would be in there so I'm going in there
Thinking I'll spot them or anybody I know. I don't see
Them and I start to notice that people are staring at me
And Dan because we are underage. So I feel a little
Weird and go to the bar and get a menu. The guy says
We have to go sit somewhere else because we are minors.
You guys ever see that famous painting where there is
Starcases going everywhere and you really can't tell
Where the ceiling is ? Well this place has 3 levels and
Is like that because there is staircases going everywhere
And mirrors so it is crazy looking
if you were drunk
There you'd never find the exit. So me and Dan collapse
Into a booth seat and watch an old Party of 5 while there
Is a band playing. Watching Jennifer Love Hewitt with
No sound is TECH. We crack a few jokes and the
Waitress comes up there. Heh
Dan is his usual wise
Ass self and after awhile I find that the waitress is
Hitting on him
he's like 15-16 hell I don't even know
But he looks younger and she was like old enough to be
His mother so I was cracking up about it later. And
I was able to meet a bunch of people. Old people that I
Was able to see for the first time in a long time was Hugh
Shelton and Mitchell Velasco. New faces were John Arendt ,
Leonard Mitchell , and $cott Anderson.
Props :
-Leonard Mitchell , Ira Myers , and Clint Hays for the
super games.
-All the cool people I was able to meet.
-Having Fun and doing well.
Slops :
- Getting no sleep.
- Not having Traffic Control in which would've given me
Another 30 points of differential but I still wouldn't
Have gotten 2nd place so I didn't really care.
And to finish off the whole TR with my favorite quote of
The weekend :
'I'm sitting across from the man Decipher fears the most
[Ozymandias] and he is wearing a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt'.
-Clint Hays at the start of Game 4.
