Tournament report Ryloth-National 21/05/00 Well finally it happened, the first big tournament this year, the national. The last couple of months I was tweaking and toying with decks for this day. I playtested a lot with my friends Vitor Alves da Silva, Michel Oldenburg and Sander Dijst. Sander is a former world qualifier and hadn't played the game for a long time. Now he also dusted off his cards for this day. It was held in Amstelveen and that's my hometown and furthermore it was held across the street. A good 1 minute walk. The decks were a problem for me. I always play Mains & Toys for both sides. For light the choice was between Throne Room Mains, Tosche Mains or Profit. I played Profit on my last two tournaments and it hadn't lost there so after some tweaking and some modifications that was my deck. For dark there was a big problem. I couldn't find a dark deck that did well in playtesting. I had tried Endor Ops, 3rd Marker/5th Marker, Court etc. Nothing worked for me. Then I came across 'The Info Broker's Hunt Down-deck'. It worked like hell for my opponents in playtesting. So that was my dark deck. Light : Profit modified to my style Dark : The Info Broker's Hunt Down After the big walk we entered the arena. So on to the games. Game 1 LS vs Maarten Rossou Court Of The Vile Gangster starting Bad Feeling Have I Maarten is a fun opponent but also a good one. I started Goo Nee Tay against him. From the moment I took my starting hand I knew I was in trouble. All I had were interrupts and effects. So no locations and no characters. He started by the way with Jabba The Hutt and Chall Bekan. He got CC-Engineer from his deck and converted the Audience Chamber. So with no force activation and no characters I couldn't do nothing but picking up some cards and hoping for some sites. He setted up some space and in the meantime I draw some characters, but no locations. So what could I do, save force and deploy some or drawing more cards up hoping for some locations. I also couldn't retrieve anymore because he also setted up a brutal force in the Audience Chamber. I knew I was losing, but how can I make the loss less painfull. Well I couldn't I lost with 27. 0 (-27) Well that was a good start, NOT!! The good thing about it was that I lost all the tention about winning the tournament. Game 2 DS vs Jurn de Ruiter Tosche Mains starting Goo Nee Tay I talked to Jurn before the tournament about decks by email. I advised him to use a deck that I send him. He did so I knew what to expect and started with Presence Of The Force on Tosche Station. I got an early Vader and deployed him on my second turn. He also came out strong with an early Luke on Tosche Station. I was lucky that I got Luke away from the table and begin a big draining party in space. He tried to do some damage, but Obi got circled/dueled away and that was the game there. I won with 22. 2 (-5) My dark proved to be a stabile deck. Game 3 DS vs Bram Snepvangers Speed Profit starting General Han and Goo Nee Tay I didn't know him and with his Magic shirt and his playing style I could see that he wasn't playing SWCCG on a regular basis. He made some mistakes now and then, but also surprised me at one time. I started Come Here You Big Coward and he obviously didn't know the card. He was struggling through the game and his Ben got circled early so he had a hard time pulling his thing off. For me it was an easy game, I was draining in space as well on the ground. He had no starships in his deck so space was easy for me. Draining for 8 and Visage killed him. I won with 25. 4 (+20) Well if I keep on winning like this I still got a shot at winning it all. Game 4 LS vs Paul van Horne This Deal … starting Imperial Arrest Order I had never played aginst him, but there is a first time for everything. I started normal Profit with Goo Nee Tay. He put no aliens in the Audience Chamber. He had a hard time setting up his Deal. I put Tawss Khaa early on Cloud City and Orrimaarko on another CC location. He is only picking up cards. In the meantime I was setting up a steady drain at Bespin with my starships and on Cloud City, because he wasn't deploying anything. He had maybe 30 cards in hand and only 15 force in his reserve deck. He setted up his Deal and could only deploy some characters. They got kicked around and after I retrieved with profit he stopped the game. I won with 34. 6 (+54) Only two more big wins to go. Game 5 LS vs Sander Dijst 3rd Marker/5th Marker Mains and Toys starting Bad Feeling Have I Sander is a good friend and a very good SWCCG-player. I playtested against him and during playtesting we ended up 50/50 with these decks. I started with Battle Order so when he started with Mara Jade and moved her away it will cost him to drain. I had a beautiful starting hand, two locations and when I drew cards for the first time I picked another one. So I had enough force to do my thing. We had the first 5/6 rounds every turn a batlle on Tatooine JP. After I counted my force loss, I thought it was time to retrieve some force I free up Han. Vader visited the party, but we both agreed that Orrimaarko is a oneyed son of a b….. He lost a lot through him. I setted up a drain at the Defensive Perimeter and it was to much for him to handle. I won the game with 21. 8 (+75) I almost pull it off. Game 6 DS vs Johan van der Meer Throne Room Force Choke starting Goo Nee Tay (I believe, correct me when I'm wrong Johan) Johan was the top player at that moment, the only undefeated player. I must win big here and I was in the final. He started normal Throne Room. I started with Presence Of The Force on the Throne Room. He activated and deployed the Nudj, both of them (not at the Throne Room) and tried a Revolution on the Med Chamber. Luckily for me I had one of my 3 Evaders in hand and that was one loss for him. I had an Vader and his saber in my opening hand and also Kashyyyk. Deployed Kashyyyk picked up and saved some force for my next turn Vader. He wasn't really in the game and made some big mistakes. I had my Vader down and drained him for 4 at the Throne Room and two at Kashyyyk (I had Zuckuss there in the meantime). It was to much for him to handle. The Visage did his work although he cancelled it at one point. The crucial mistake he made was that he activated until he had two force left. He looked for a Nudj only to look at the two cards. I got to verify that it was a 0 and a 4. He used Nabrun to get Obi against Vader and he draw the 4. I had on the other hand a Circle in my hand and used it against him. He had only one force left and that was the 0. Game and I won with 26. The impossible happened I'm the top player after 6 games, so that means I will play the final against no. 2. That was Maarten Rossou, but we both wanted also to attend the Young Jedi tournament and since we both are going to Brussel we agreed not to play the final. So we are both the Dutch Champions for a year, only I got the props because I was the top player. By the way Young Jedi sucks ass. There was no fun at all, only when we played each other and when I played Jeroen van de Bosch (he's also a swccg-player). (for the record I went 3-3) Johan Haneveer
