The tournament was held a Coaches Corner in St. Anthony Minnessota at Apache Plaza. The Plaza does look a little run down and has few stores there, but it works ok for SWCCG tournaments. 21 people showed up for the tournament. Now on to the games Game 1 vs. Dann Albright my Throne Room Main vs. his Hunt Down I start the game with a decent hand, but nothing great. I activate 4 force, search for Threepio with His parts showing and get him to the Throne Room and draw the rest. During his turn I start the race. While he starts getting out sites. For a while after that, he is just getting sites out and deploying some characters to the CC: Docking Bay and Podrace Arena. I get my sites out and start saving up for my Beat Down (as I have a few EPP’s in my hand). I later win the race, but thanks to CHYBC I retrieve nothing. He however looses 6 force. We are both loosing 1 a turn to Visage and I am loosing a couple to his drains. I decide the time is right to strike, so I deploy to the Theed Palace Generator with EPP HAN, EPP OBI, EPP Luke and Twas Khaa. Then the next turn I Narun Leids them to the Arena, and battle his characters. (Guri, Dr. E & Ponda Baba and 1-2 others) I clear out the site, but Obi dies. His turn he gets Maul with Saber to the Generator. After that it’s me loosing 3 a turn to drains, and him loosing only 1 to drains, and we are both loosing to visage. I wind up loosing by 1. Game 1 results FL 0(-1) Game 2 vs. Anthony Lawrence My TIE’s vs his Light Saber combat(LSC) Before the game starts, he says he needs to complete his deck, as it’s short 10 cards. So we eventually get started. He is using a deck he has not played before. That helps me a little. I have no ground and he has little space. So he sets up at the Generator and Generator Core, and drians me for 2-3 at each every turn. I set up at Endor, Naboo, Sullust, Kashyyyk, Kiffex and Rendili, with nothing at Wakeemauli. He later comes to space with Tantive IV and RL in R1. I Lateral Damage the Tantive IV and Shoot down the RL in R1 with my TIE Cannon. Leaving him with a power 0 forfeit 0 Tantive IV. but as he has Lando, Scoundrel on the Tantive IV, he is able to get 2 destiny a 7 and a 4. Other than that battle, we just drain each other, until the TD calls time. I get a TW. Game 2 results TW 1(+??) Game 3 vs. Garaham Neal My Throne Room Mains vs his Senate. Deatils are sketchy, but I podrace and Win, we have some battles, but mostly just drains. I wind up getting beat badly. Game 3 results FL 1(-??) Game 4 vs. Daniel Czech My TIE’s vs his Tatooine Racing deck. He has almost no space in his deck and only 4 ground sites. So I get out my systems and deploy my TIE’s to them. He sets up on the ground with his characters. Other than the race, which I win, we just drain each other. I wind up winning FW 3(+???) Game 5 vs. Joel Cooper TIE’s vs. EBO He gets out his Hoth sites and deploys Rebel Troopers to them. He then sets up Echo Base operations and starts deploying systems and X-wings. We are both Deploying systems and X- wings or TIE’s, but he is draining for more. I batlle his x-wings, but never manage to win that many space battles. With his drains, and the fact that I can’t seem to kill off his X-wings, he winds up winning by 30. Game 5 results. FL 3(-??) Game 6 vs. Mark Peterson Throne Room Mains vs. SYCFA. This was an interesting game. Hes stsrts setting up guys at the DS, and gets ready to blow up Alderan, while I save up and get my Beat Down aquad reay. I winn the race, he gets the DS to Alderan. Blows it up and flips. He then gets out 2 of his systems and some Star Destroyers. he moves guy from the DS: Docking bay to a SStar Destroyer, leaving only 2 Death Star Gunners and a srub there. My Turn I deploy my massive beat down sqaud and battle. Luke kills his scrub, and Dengar with gun (the evil scrub) starts blasting away and misses. He has a power 6 plus 1 desting, then winds up with power 10 (after the destiny) I play Gift of the Mentor to add 2 destiny, then draw my 5 destiny. I wnd up with a power 45 to his 10. He looses his 3 guys and 28 more! After that we drain each other for a while, but I end up beating him by 32! Final results 5(+19) I get 2 packs for Prize support, and get nothing great (Naboo Celebration and Twilight is Upon me) I get 13th place overall (out of 21 players) Now for the props and slops Slops Echo Base Operations Anthony Lawrence, for multiple timed games, and not having his deck ready at the start of the game. Props Coaches Corner Nick Kolnik (the TD) All my oppinents (except Anthony Lawrence) Throne Room Mains and of course the Player that traded me a Qui- Gon Jin (AI URF) for my Boba Fett in ship and Qui- Gons Saber.
