Game 1: My DS vs. Steve K's Tatooine MnT I started with ISB ops, Coruscant and PotF. He started Mos Eisley and Crash Site Memorial. I had seen this deck of his before and knew what to expect. He played Spaceport Speeders and drew up for the first few turns. I got out some systems but couldn't find my ISB agents. I played Monnok lost on him and got quite a few cards, multiple SS's and some other stuff, and noticed he had no space cards. I spread out as best I could. I had Kashyyk with PotF, Coruscant with PotF, Nal Hutta, and Fondor. I hit him with a lot of drains. He finally got down the Jundland Wastes and a vaporator, as well as a Monk at Tat:JP, and a couple guys at the JP:Entrance Cavern. It was a drain race for a little while but I started my drains much earlier. I finally got an ISB agent and dropped him Undercover at the Wastes. Then I dropped Chall and GMT at JP to block another drain. He moved some stuff around but was soon drained out. Full win by 22.
Highlights: Monnok! Lowlights: Little interaction
Game 2: My LS vs Mike Alts' TDIGWATT These ds decks are one of the reason I've kept my Falcon deck. He started with the obj, Carbonite chamber, and some misc. effects as well as BFHI. I started MWYHL, and Battle Plan. I got out Yoda, Luke S, the hut and training area with JT1 in the first 2 turns. I had JT1 completed by the 5th turn. He got out a few CC sites, no drain +1 sites though, and I got out the Falcon, Cap'n and EPP Leia at his Bespin. I foolishly dropped Ori on a couple of his guys and wiped them out with destiny. He retaliated with Elis, who uses Elis anymore!?, and smacked Ori around and dropped him in the prison. I Tunnel'd for a Kessel and dropped Gold Leader to Bespin and moved the Falcon to Kessel. I also dropped Order to Engage. He had played this deck quite a few times and was very weary about coming to space, but finally did anyway. He dropped BiHT on GL, but it was barriered and he lost 3 force for OTE. Meanwhile I was playing On The Edge to retrieve most of what he drained me for. He dropped some more stuff at Bespin, BH ships I believe, and battled. I played some Destiny Adders and wiped out the location and put Legendary Starfighter on the Falcon. The game ended pretty quickly after that. Full win by 33.
Highlights: Falcon is still no. 1 Lowlights: Only got to wipe out a handful of ships...
Game 3: My LS vs Tony Vigliott's Kuat Drive Yards deck. We both started the usual and both had a pretty good idea what was going to happen. I got my normal Dagobah set-up (Luke w/Binocs, Yoda JT1) done fairlquickly and started to begin my space assault.I converted his Kessel and started draining with a loaded Falcon. He kept building up his ships at Kuat. He dropped BiHT at a location and began to spread out a bit'. I dropped GLinG1 on Bossk, and battled. I drew a 3, he drew a 1, I reduced attrition thanks to Yoda and he lost Bossk. I dropped Obi on the Falcon and moved it over to confront his 4 SD's, Vader, Tarkin etc... He dropped another ship on the Falcon but I barriered it. He battled and I played I know and Punch it. He had 25ish attrition but I had to ff Obi and Leia for Battle damage. I took out about half of his stuff. I dropped another Leia next turn and took out another SD. He battled rather than losing to OTE and I cleared out the rest of his ships and played Legendary starfighter. I moved the Falcon back to Kessel and GL to another of his systems and began hammering him with drains, as well as with LS. I played some On The Edges to recoup my losses. Full win by 27?
Highlights: Fear the Falcon! Lowlights: I've done this matchup before...
Game 4: My DS vs Mike Alt's HBX He starts HB and s-foils. I do the ISB thing and start with SP. I notice in my opening hand I have a Monnok...nice. I drop a location or two and draw. He does the same thing. When there about 7 systems out I decide it's time to start draining. He has about 25 cards in his hand, not sure why he drew so much, so I monnok to see what he's got: well he has 8 X-wings, 3 Organized Attacks and 2 ICBW's. Not bad. With his hand cleared I drop a bunch of ships and start draining. He draws to get another supply of ships and I make sure I'm not spread too thin and save force so I can counterattack his attack with my D*AS, Dreadnaught and Dengar in P1. He comes down with 4 X-wings and takes out on of my systems fleet. I retaliate and wipe out 3 of his X-wings. He decides to spread out and deploys some X-wings, spreads out and flips HB. On my turn I probe right on the first try and he plays ICBW on the damage, I grab it with TBHTP. I nail and x-wing with BFinS1 and he Houjix's. Next turn I nail another ship with Lat Damage and a SD. He houjix's. I am nailing him with serious drains now. He gets out 2 ships and Landing Claw, but it's too little too late. I soon drain him out. Full win by 20?
Highlights: Smacking around HBX Lowlights: Knowing that Monnok was too lucky...
Game 5: My LS vs Chris Ruddy's TDIGWATT/sabbac deck. I start normal, he starts Casino and some other stuff. I get my Dagobah stuff set up in 4 turns and he draws a lot. I get a loaded Falcon out at Kiffex as he doesn't look like he'll be dropping Bespin anytime soon. He puts out a drain 2 location, Lando and Myo at the Casino and begins Sabbac. He wins and gets RLinR1. I draw for an Obi and save. He drops Mosep and another guy at the Casino. We drain eachother for a little while then I drop Obi and do some damage. I use Electro to set up a 7, battle, move Myo away and wipe out everyone but Lando. He retaliates with Jabba, and Boelo, who I barrier. Order To Engage is down so he battles and I get rid of Jabba and Lando. He puts down the Port Town district and ETE, and drops some aliens on Obi who goes bye-bye. He decides to flip so he drops Bespin, CC, a ship at each, some guys like Vader and Tarkin, DD, Occupationand flips. I UF Vader. I wipe out his Tie's at CC with GLinG1, but GL dies in the process. I move over the Falcon to Bespin and play Endor Celebration. He hits me for 4 in drains next turn. He then moves Vader and Tarkin up to Bespin to protect the system. It takes 2 battles for me to wipe them all out and play Legendary Starfighter. I play On The Edge here and there to recoup my losses and my drain and LF finish him off. FW by 27. Highlights: Lots of interaction. Lowlights: None.
Game 6: My DS vs Tony's HBX For some reason I don't remeber this game too well. I started SP. And monnoked him twice, getting quite a few red cards. He loads up the Falcon with Lando and the Capn, but I jump it and he ff Lando and Han. He goes into the spread and flip part of the game pretty early. I probe his HB on the first try and he ICBW's it. I then start jumping his X-wings, but he has no houjix's. Win by 33
Highlights: Apparently my ISB Space deck has no problem with HBX anymore. Lowlights: None.
My final score 12(+181), I must have messed some difs up in my TR. All in all a good tourney. My best showing in a long time. I played all but 1 of the people who finished top 4. The next highestwas 8(50ish) So my victory was pretty decisive. Well until next time
