here we are in milwaukee, and i am playtesting for the last time before the qualifier and you know what my deck sucks so in desperation i turn to my good buddy yannick and he shows me is light side ,witch after i see him play against gary, decide to build a similiar one minus a few card of is deck and for my dark side well gary just looks at it well show me the error i was doing when playing it and made me change a few card that help a lot. so my light side was: mind what you have learned( direct damage) and dark side was: bring him before me. now on to the tournament day 1 well for day1 i didn't keep track of my opponent i know i played great player such as martin raveling, jim li, todd rowe and others but in the end of a 8 match tournament i standed undefeated at 8-0 + 132. Wich is my very best EVER, now i am qualified what a relief. day 2 annouce to be a lot more tougher than yesterday we are about 50 and you can see only top player are here. on to the tournament. my light side vs eric hunter rop's Well i played against 1 ralltir ops before this match and i won but eric is a mutch better player than the other guys. But with afa and my 2 presence of the skywalker on table + uncontrolled fury are just enough to give me the win. FW 2(+6) dark vs todd rowe i think if i remember correctly he started only rendez-vous point and 3 effect no hidden base so thats a relief well basicly i set up search and destro by turn 3 with vader at a spaceport docking bay and mara + emperor at the endor docking bay. FW 4(+26) light vs ray bordier bring him Now ray is a very good player and i must say that it is fun to play against him. In this game ray made one heck of a masterfull move i gave him luke to vader on his turn he moves vader to the docking bay and at the beggining of is control phase he rise my friend vader and frees luke now at this point i am thinking he fears a beatdown since i got 10 card in hand + 10 card already activated, so on my turn i do like everybody and drain he play lost in the wilderness and the only thing i can do is watch my luke go missing. basicly after that vader came with a bunch on people made me lose 3 to your destiny and he won FL 4(+2) dark vs geoff snider profit i dont really remember this game but i know that search and destroy was set up quickly and we battle it out on tatooine. FW 6(+20) now at that point i am 3-1 and this good because i am at the 4th table. light vs hayes hunter bring him hayes is a very good player we start of like usual for a few turn tough hayes only draws and like on the 4th turn all at once deploys cc : downtown plaza, presence of the force, vader, is lightsaber and some scrub. this is not good i only have obi-wan with lightsaber in hand so i gave luke to vader drew and played it could be worst when i had it now at that point i only got one afa and already lost 1st test ok i am in trouble so i finaly send obi with leia and manage to clear the site after a couple of turn but hayes just comes back with tatooine cantina, vader, mara and their lightsaber and that was just enough to give him the win. FL 6(+4) dark versus erick peterson he starts yoda's hut + 3 effect and thats ok by me. so i start setting search and destroy but he decide to come and see me with ben kenobi (deployed at tatooine docking bay) and 2 scrub ok next turn vader and his lightsaber comes to is site circle ben slash one of the 2 scrub and he lost some force to that + search was completed and that basicly ended the game. FW 8(+26) so in the end my dark side never lost i went 12-2 at gencon got a lot of rating since i am at 1776 of rating and finish 9th in day 2 i would say i had a good week-end. well i am sure to see every one a deciphercon and sorry if i made mistake with the grammar.
