Well this was my 3rd tournament down here at this store(Dagobah). I would be playing a HDADTJ Battle and Kill and a HB w/ nice additions of everything. As you would find out my HB fared quite well :-).
Game 1
Dark: Visage Epic, etc..against..Austin, HB - Starting Effect - ?
I was playing my dark deck as a "test," no playtesting except for one game before hand. I start opening hand..no vader..draw empire's back, :-( (it'll do though). He goes deploy systems, done. I play empire's deploy vader at Lars' ( i had picked up). I go w/ no force left. He goes deploys system, then one or two turns later he deploys CC: Lower Plaza, w/ Obi and his stick. I had lost vader w/ sabre, and his sabre earlier. We go force-draining, I canceled hidden base 2nd or third turn after he flipped. As the game winds down he deploys Revolution on Holotheatre, and starts to drain at Meditation Chamber. 2 turns later i rig destinies w/ elis helrot and Vader's Obsession, so i elis, etc.. draw 6 & 6! what a surprise he drew 1, 1 that was it he couldn't even just cross him. I win by 10(+2 10)
Game 2
Light: HB with Starting Effect - Rebel Fleet against (Brian Fein)SE SFS, Wakeelmui I expected to get stomped by a tie deck if i played one, but i guess i was wrong :). First turn d Clak'Dor, and get Dantooine, move x-wing from dantooine to wakeelmui (first thing i did right). He activates, picks up. Next turn i deploy aldeeran, and force drain, etc.. I started building up force at Wake.. also I kept looking in reserve to see if obi's hut, obi was there. Well after ten turns he ativates 6, and I 12 or so, and am force draing him 4 at Hut, 1 at Wakee... oh by the way the first chance i got i altered SFS (most important thing to do against tie decks!) about with 2 or 3 turns left i flip HB, and battle him once or twice and just a completely stomping! By the way he deployed 5 things the whole game (including locations)
I win by 31(+4 31)
Game 3
Feeling good, then what do you know i play Mike Fitzgerald (is that right)!, just great i'll get stomped! Dark..HDADTJ, etc..against Mike..SE: S-foils i think..HB I started w/ the mind that i'm going to get smashed, so my confidence wasn't too high. So we go a few turns drawing and losing, then we finally face off at Obi's Hut, w/ Vader w/ sabre and Ozzel, I manage to fix destinies get 4 & 6 kill Obi, he loses 9. I'm thinking great, i have a chace! So that he turn he battles me and kills vader, obj. flips. Well it goes like this he retrieves w/ Tatooine Occupation/Celebration, and force draining me of 1, and 2, over and over again. Result lose by 18. (i did however save myself 7 by drawing up.) I lose by 18(+4 33)
Game 4
4th game guess who i'm playing again. Mike! My light SE..rebel fleet..HB..against Mike SE..SFS..Ties I had a good game against a tie deck before so i'm thinking good, and he also said it isn't too good :). So we go a few turns me giving him no force he delpoys clouds, and finally puts down black squad. tie and tallon rolls all 3 of my x-wing! (by the way that is a great card) He then turns
to running from my squadron of x-wing, etc.. with Obi and Han at the hut draining of 4. We skirmish, he runs, he tallons, it wasn't until until 3 or 4 turns left when he cancels, but i did what i did before, altered SFS, that i think is the key to beat any tie deck, they retrieve none w/ that, and that's what keeps them going. I win by 16 (+6 49)
Game 5
Light same everything against Austin..again..Se:none..ISB ops w/ coruscant I had seen his deck before and knew it was nothing special, so i thought i'd win. So i do my usual he gets no force and i drain at Obi's Hut, but he deploys U-3po, so i get no drains there! So somehow he manages to get like 40 cards in hand, he deploys reactor terminal, alter, so he sits there just losing from hand over and over, then he finally gets some stuff down, i manage to cancel both his drains, but he is going to non-battlegrounds and making me move, etc.. so he prolongs it forever, then i win by 30, i did have a chance to do my combo of Power Pivot, x-wing laser cannon I win by 30 (+8 79).
So i'm thinking i was doing good, but i play the last place kid, it was good for me, but i thought it was a little cheesy.
Game 6
Dark, same against..who we call "cartmen"(a little fat [big boned] kid that wears a cartman shirt and always bothers you
In this game i wanted to deploy as little as possible so i managed to flip turn 2, so i can keep loses down. He deploys all his stuff at Rendezvous Point, and then chalanges me at CC: plaza. I have to deploy Tarkin and Evazan to help, so i operate on Cap Han, and he has power like 8 to 12, he loses 4. He deploys more junk, (red leader). I activate battle operate so he gets no destiny, he dies. Then i had to worry about reactor terminal, i deployed it, put all back, he just starts picking up. I saw okay, force drain everyturn and still make him lose (i know it's mean, but he has to learn to shut up) so i end up winning by 46 I win by 46 (+10 115, i think it was 117).
But i ended up with one loss (to Mike!) and 2nd place, i got 6 packs, got devastator, someone else got leia organa, good day overall, i am going to a tournament on 1/10, i will right a report from that one.
