Title: jared-shiny-r2-milford-2-24-2001
Date Published: 2001-03-23
Milford, MASS. If you want to sit in a cellar with 172 chairs and
14 players, TJ’s was the place to be for 2/24/2001.
Jared ran a reflections 2 booster draft, all meat and potatoes.
We only had about 6 around start time, but eventually got up
to 14 within the next 20 minutes. A lot of returning faces,
not many/any newbies. Mike Schiemer, Hayes Hunter, Brian Ciezinski,
John Shapiro, Paul Maholick, Mike Pistone, Steve Anderson and
Jared Greenwald to name a few of the players. We drafted at about
1230-1245 -- I was light side - Steve Anderson who sat next to me
got a lord vader foil, the r2 emporer, flagship executor and maybe even a tarkin or
walker from what I recall. He easily got the best cards of the tourney. I, on the other hand, got a handful of
horse@#$%. After shaving it down to 40 cards, here was my poor excuse for a deck:
The battlegrounds I brought were kessel, tat toshe st, and tat jabbas palace.

2x cloud city trooper

proj skywalker
yoda stew/you do have moments
skull
its not my fault
Game 1 vs Mike Pistone
Started witht he Throne each game. Early drain at Kessel for 3 every turn with a lousy y-wing, x-wing and rebel pilot
in the y-wing. We had one brawl on the ground, but Mike just didnt have the
characters. Not that I did, but hey, a drain of 1 with a tibby gas miner still works.
I won by 28.
Game 1 Score: 2 (+28)1
Game 2 VS Mike Schiemer
I started with the throne room. I activated less than
Mike the whole game. He got down endor with a tie scout and a scrub pilot.
He drained for 2 turns but I saved force and plopped down
liberty to block. Mike played hoth defensive perimeter and put feltipern trevagg
there on a dewback. I told Mike next turn dewbacks can’t deploy to hoth so he lost it.
I think he chose to lose because he had a tauntaun skull in his hand.
I deployed a rebel pilot to liberty and battled. Tauntaun
skull came to save Mike’s battle in SPACE (how silly is that, a dewback carcass flying at the liberty)!!
He placed dewback out of play for +5 power. Mike still outdid me in activation
and as I saved he continued to drain at the hoth defensive
perimeter. I eventually deployed Leebo, elom, moisture
farmer, and a chadra fan. Mike blew them all off with ponda
babas gun on some scrub. Mike was taking drains
of 1 at endor but some of them were getting blocked by
stormtroopers and imperial pilots with his
strategic reserves (nice card). I played momaw nadon and
a pilot at ds war room hoping for 2 drain and a cloud city
trooper and kitonak at newly deployed CC guest quarters.
Mike took care of the guest quarters with evazan+baba with an imperial
blaster. He had a 3 tracked so he hit and operated on the trooper
and played tauntan skull again and also draw destiny. He got me there for like 8 cards
- was a close match up until that battle. The absolute end of the game happened when he
deployed come here you big coward to shut down the drains at the
DS war room. Mike won by 10. Special note goes to Mike who did most of this report
on our game.
After Game 2 Score : 2 (18)
Game 3 vs Paul Maholick:
Paul and I played a very tight game, with myself having the advatage most of the
time, but having to constantly move away from his bigger chracters.
The fun moment in this game was when Kabe stole a jedi lightsaber
from Xizor with her game text. Hadn’t seen that before. Almost out of time, I won by 9.
Easily the closest game of the day from start to the close, Paul put up a good fight.
After Game 3 Score: 4 (27)
Game 4 vs Steve A:
Steve had huge power cards, but I managed to get that 3 drain at Kessel again which
shut him down. Vader showed up at the CC Guest quarters and killed at least
5 characters there but never got control and was stuck. Got traffic cntrl down. Won by 13.
Final score 6 (40)
I usually do a little better at sealed, I was disappointed at myself with the way
me and Mike’s game went at certain points, but all in all, it goes to show that it takes some
skill to use the crap I had and still tie for 2nd place. Hayes pissed everyone off by
winning yet again.
1. (LS)Hayes Hunter 8(something)
2. (DS)Michael Schiemer 6(+40)
3. (LS)Kris Earle 6(+40)
I got a stack of r2 lit cards and a few very rare foils for
a prize. I ended up leaving the whole damn deck and cards
there after like an a-hole after doing some trading. Me and Steve Anderson went to Wendy’s then
I realized I left the deck and cards behind. We went back like an hour
after I left them and there they sat. At least those SW players that day
were good honest folk. That says alot.
PROPS:
-Jared for running a SEALED!! Love the SEALED!
-Hayes for winning
-Mike Scheimer for beating me.
-Kessel drain saved me twice
-Going 3-1 with pretty bad pulls.
-Kabe stealing a saber
- Canceling Felt Treveggs text with the asp droid
-Vader killing off 5 characters and not gaining control of the war room,
thanks forfeit 6 r2/threepio!
-Steve Anderson for getting some great pulls
-Jon Shapiro for trading his lord vader foil he won as a prize at my last run tourney
-Players for not taking the cards I left behind by accident.
Slops:
-Hayes for winning. hey I’m #1 sealed! Don’t steal my thunder!
-Mike for not knowing that a dewback can’t deploy to hoth, then not
knowing that a probe droid cant deploy without the isb obj or a destroyer
-Me for leaving my box of cards behind like a dumbo.
-Me for writing a couple of half assed game reports because it was a month ago and I just found the deck I played with and the scores.
SEE YOU ALL AT THE STATES 4/14/2001 BOXBORO!
