This tournament happened down in Boca Raton , Florida again at Lost Realms. It was run by Stephan Nilson. First place was all cards of one allegiance and Second place got the other side. There was 13 competitors for this tournament. Deck intro : LS Deck - a LS deck. DS Deck - 'Bittersweet Symphony' - Musicians…but this week I had my grappler , Search and Destroy , and Battle Order in. Game 1 : My LS versus Jason Selman's ECC Objective I start my Y4 :Nudj thing and he starts the ECC Objective (full-setup) and uses Any Methods Necessary to get the Dengar theme. The first ten minutes all we do is deploy stuff and draw. I put RliR1 at Bespin and save 2 for Spiral. He drops down one of those special Obsidians and Dengar in Punishing One but doesn't have enough to battle. I drop Spiral with Lt. Tarn Mison and battle. I draw a 5 to get rid of Dengar and he draws a 4 to kill my Red Leader. His ship flees to the Cloud sector and I get to drain him for 2 at Bespin for awhile. I Deploy GliG1 to the cloud sector with Bron Burs and wipe out the special obsidian. I drain him for 4 in force drains for about 2-3 turns in a row. By now he's activating 13 and I'm activating 20. He has Expand the Empire on the Port Town District and deployed Lando with Lobot at the Casino and won a game of Sabaac before moving them over with 4-Lom , Jabba , and Jodo Kast. After that I drop Beezer on the Spiral for forfeit and Harc Seff on Gold Leader to save hide. He drops Executor up at Bespin and attacks my Spiral. I draw a 5 and we are equal power. I Tunnel Vision and deploy Falcon with Cpn Han , EPP Leia , and deploy Wedge on the Spiral and Battle. I draw a 10 in Battle Destiny and he has to lose the Executor or 15…he tosses the Executor and I rotate the Falcon and Gold Leader. I drop Battle Plan and he has to pay for his drains while I do to. Finally he spreads out and leaves Lando with Lobot. I deploy Tawss Khaa , EPP Luke , Obi-Wan , and Yoxgit to beat down on Lando and Lobot. Draw Their Fire is deployed : I smack up Lando , and beat them down for them and 8 after them. I move around on the ground and since I'm not paying for Battle Plan he can't really do anything to stop my. Win by 26 Record : 2 ( +18 ) Highlights : Smashing the Executor in raw power Lowlights : Having to play cautiously. Game 2 : 'Bittersweet Symphony' vs. Brad Barfield's Fallen Portal deck I start my full setup and he starts Y4 War Room and Insurrection. Eh ? Well First turn I drop Jabba , Scum and Villiany , and Boelo. His first turn he deploys Obi-Wan Kenobi w/ stick. Ok…. On my turn I deploy EPP Fett and battle. Miss Obi and he hits Jabba but he has to lose 8 or Obi and Obi goes down. Next turn he deploys Captain Han at Bespin : Docking Bay and is done. Ok… I deploy Mara Jade and go fetch her stick and battle. He plays Fallen Portal but doesn't draw high enough and Mara smacks him and takes 2 force after that. He deploys EJP Chewbacca to the Sarlaac Pit and 4 Musicians and Brangus Smack him. CotVGangster hits him for a bunch of damage and I drain him away. Win by 26. Record : 4 ( +44 ) Highlights : Not much Lowlights : n/a Game 3 : ' Bittersweet Symphony' v. Walter Cowart's Steven Lewis-ish Speeder Ops Hmm. I've got two ways to do this. Start the 3 Effect setup or start Battle Order. He starts Yargna and Clackdor Ops. I get Jabba and Scum and Villiany setup again on turn one. I drop Rystall to chill with Jabba for free. He takes about 6-8 points of CotVG damage the game through. He drops an op in a speeder and pays to drain me a few times. I drop Lyn Me and EPP Fett along with Mara and Stick , and Umpass-stay to beat up on an op in speeder for a Houjix. He doesn't have many sites out so after not fearing Flapped Speeders I move Umpass and Mara with stick to the Farm. He kicks out more locations and starts setting the sites between my characters to separate them. He drops another speeder op somewhere else and kicks out Luke Skywalker with the norrmal Speeder Op combo and another Speeder and finally puts out Ops. He flips because he's got one normal Speeder Op combo , the Skywalker site , and a site with normal Speeder Op combo with another speeder. I start Helroting him to death. First I move Fett and Lyn Me to the normal Speeder Op site : drop Chall Bekan , Rappertunie , and DUN DUN DUN EJP DENGAR !!! battle retrieving with First Strike and Scum. I shoot the Speeder with Dengar ! Down goes the Op and 4. Hehe. He drains me some more and I keep tossing my Ships because there is no battleground systems out and for some reason I don't think one is going out. Here comes the main blow… I elis Chall , Lyn Me , Fett , and drop another character or two with Dengar to the Skywalker site. DUN DUN DUN !! EJP Dengar , EJP DENGAR !!! First I target the Speeder with Skywalker in it…draw a 3 hmm play the 3-Effect thing and BOOOM ! Skywalker's Speeder is GOING DOWN ! Dengar runs and hides behind another tree : takes aim and BOOM ! The Operative Speeder is hit too ! After all is said and done I lose Chell Bekan and a musician and he loses everything. Oh yeah the Objective Flips back. This is the first time I've ever seen the Operative Objective flip back. All thanks to EJP Dengar , he's a monster ! The only way to make him eat up Speeder Ops better is to have him be able to shoot at adjacent sites. HEHEHEHEH. EJP Dengar , EJP Dengar. Win by 18-24. Record : 6 ( +6X ) Highlights : EJP Dengar…musician deck getting a real test and coming through. Lowlights : nothing. Game 4 : LS v. Rene Hildago's EJP Obj Deck. This game goes horrible for me. I deploy EPP Luke to the Audience Chamber and drop Order to Engage versus him. He deploys 4-Lom , blasts Luke , and draws 2 destiny to wipe out Luke for Luke and 3 after that. I deploy Obi's Hut and Obi and move him over to the Tatooine : DB. I draw up a bit and we hit each other with 1 point drains. Obi decides he is a bit hungry and goes back to civilization for food but he is Always Thinking With His Stomach and gets lost at the Docking Bay , high faluting new technology and all. Well he deploys Mara Jade with Stick and Dr. Evazan at Obi's hut to speed the game up. I drop a new Luke , Tawss Khaa , Beezer , and Wedge . Say I'm gonna win…Weapon Levitate the stick from Mara , whack Mara ,and draw a 5 for destiny. He draws a 7. Well wedge and Beezer die and Tawss and Luke live and he loses 5 after Evazan. It all went downhill after that. He has EPP Fett , Jabba ( Big Daddy ) , 4-LOM , and IG-88 at the Audience Chamber. I deploy Cpn Han , Jereon Webb , and Falcon at DB to try to get Obi. Unfortunately he Elises that group to Mr. Webb and Han's Site despite my Quite a Merc bluff. Eek ! He also drops Vader , and Outer Rim Scout and someone else. He starts a battle. I'm in trouble. Fortunately IG-88 Misses Han but EPP Fett Doesn't. He draws 4 Battle Destinies ! 7 , 5 , 7 , and a 4 . Oh yeah Vader adds 1 to each of them . He has exactly 40 power and I have to lose everything and 18 after that ( I drew a 6 for Battle Destiny ) That pretty much did me in. I just run around and try to hit off as many force as I can. At the end I line up my guys to get whacked by his big group again. Loss by 26. Record : 6 ( +4X ) Highlights : the spectacular explosion of destinies , Rene is a nice guy too. Lowlights : I am now knocked into 3rd place which means I don't get any of Stephan's collection and my $20 is turned into an EPP Luke. Well I get 3rd and can't seem to get a tournament in which I go undefeated but then again it is pretty tough. David Irvine went 4-0 ( Timed win against Rene Hidalgo who won second place ). Dave was playing Ralltiir Ops and Yavin 4 Nudj mains I guess). I buy 3 packs of Reflections and get an R2-D2 , Princess Leia , and Jabba. I trade the R2-D2 to Rene for a Foil Visage and Foil Epic Duel. Well I believe that wraps it up from here. If any one wants to trade for the Foil Leia let me know. Mike
