Part 1 is Called 'Stitches'. This is Part 2... Short Deck Intro : LS-HB/ Mains DS- Musicians Game 4 : ' The Wretched' v. Leonard Mitchell's Tatooine Celebration deck... Start : CotVG w/ 3 Effect thing. Obi's Hut ,convert Audience Chamber. Ok. First off this was probably my best game of the day ... the Slugfest with Ira were maybe a miniscule under this game. He deploys Tawss Khaa to the Jundland Wastes ( his ) and draws up. I go and get my Docking Bays while I drop Hutt Smooches to my objective for damage. He hits me a few times with the drain of 2 before I set up Battle Order and the game starts moving along. He deploys Cantina , Mos Eisley , Tatooine system , and one more random.tatooine.site and sets up Celebration with Gold Leader and Wedge I think. So here's the setup : AChamber ( He won't go here ) , Entrance Cavern , Jabba's Palace , Sarlacc , Hut , Eisley , Cantina , Tatooine. I decide to try to stop his moving Harc Seff , EPP Luke , and Tawss Khaa by tempting an Elis... BTW he has like +20 cards in hand so he grapples it and Senses it ( Loses 2 more ) , I play another one and it gets through but he Nabruns them all away back to like Mos Eisley ( Next time Gadget ). He also has Boussh out but he keeps forgetting to move her and stuff so he decides to make her useful. I decide to strike up at the system. Zuckuss in Hunter , an Outer Rim Scout , and Rappertunie go up the Tatooine system to beat up on the Gold Leader. He throws some junk up there but here is the basic situation he has a drain of 4 ( Cantina and Jundland Wastes ) , Celebration for 2 , and Order to Engage is out. I have Zuckuss in Hunter , ORS , and Rappertunie up at Tatooine , Jabba Boelo and 4-LOM a Jabba's Palace , Mara Jade w/stick Evazan Sy Snootles and like Brangus at Entrance Cavern , and enough musicians at the Audience Chamber to hold it. He puts down like Lando in Falcon , Tantive 4 , and some pilots to help up in space. They knock off Rappertunnie and my Outer Rim Scout and he puts a Gimer Stick on Boushh after breaking cover and moves Boushh to the 'Ley Jabba no boder' site ( Jabba ,4-LOM , Boelo ). Hmm. He also has Tatooine Celebration out but is at least paying for Secret Plans. He knocks out my ORS and Rapster and retrieves and then it is my turn. I finally get a few good shots of Un Harc Seff-able drains in so he is starting to take some solid damage. I decide to take the 3 on the chin and land the Zuckuss in Hunter at the Le Jabba No Boder site. He does his drains and junk but he is in trouble now and he thinks the space system is safe. He starts dropping down Jereon Webb and other pilots he had up there to get more force for Celebrating. Hehe... I remember I retrieved Fett in his ride a few turns back so I activate about 7 force... deploy Fett from Reserve with the Objective battle ...retrieve 3 Force , draw a 5 to take down another ship , and then bring up the SUPA SHIP. Remember that Zuckuss in Hunter that landed well now he has 4-LOM , Boelo , Jabba , and an Outer Rim Scout (translation : 2 destinies , 7 power , cancel your destiny) that spells doom for him. I get to drain for free and he holds the system for maybe 2 or 3 more celebrations but I've got him now. I just made Boussh useless again because if she moves over she'll get destroyed by Mara Jade and company. He shuttles EPP Luke and Boussh up to the system but they go down pretty quickly with me drawing 2 destinies and such. I also throw Chell Bekan out to battle Harc Seff and retrieve 3 more while he loses 1. In the end I manage to eek it out by 8. Win by 8 . Record : 6 ( +22 ) Highlights : Excellent game… my best game of the weekend. Lowlights : Nothing really. Game 5 : ' The Fragile' v. Hugh Shelton's Tatooine Occupation Well he starts Tatooine and Security Precautions and I start everything And grab Wise Advice. I go get systems and get my generation up Very quickly while he deploys the Jundland Wastes and later puts A PotF on it so that is when I decide I can commit Luke and Obi To the Wastes while on later turns I re-inforce it with Jeroen Webb , Tawss Khaa , and Corporal Beezer. The first time he attacks it with Choke Vader , Mara , Tarkin , and Dengar to which I lose Beezer to a choke and Tawss gets hit by Dengar , I slash Tarkin and Dengar and attrition out Mara. I play Gift of the Mentor for multiple destinies but he plays Boring Conversation Anyway which I grapple just in case. Here is something…I have a Skywalkers in hand and I play Tunnel Vision and see EPP Leia in there so I grab her and look at my hand again and see that my Skywalkers is gone ! WTF ? I'm a bit baffled and guess that I put it into my Active Pile so I just deploy Leia anyway and battle Versus Vader and beat him down for him and like 5-6 after him which Would've been much worse with the Skywalkers. He deploys U-3PO To the Wastes to shut down my drains so I throw the Falcon to Kashyyyk for the deploy -2 for Cpn Han and throw EPP Leia with him. Later he comes after me with Vader , Veers , Brangus , and a few others but gets another Gift from the Mentor which clears them out again. He gets The Devastator down at Tatooine or some where and I deploy Order to Engage and start chasing him around while I track A Few Manuevers and Play On the Edge to retrieve back 5 force each time. He runs the Devastator To Dagobah and probes but I tell him to take the probe card because it can only be 2-8 parsec but with Dagobah Rules he can't deploy to Dagobah so he has to eat the 3 to Order to Engage and so I keep following the Devastator around and hit him for probably like 12 force before he probes the right system . I It Could Be Worse the damage and keep rolling after him. Eventually he battles and Ghhhks but I play Legendary Starfighter which hurts him some more before he is dead. Not much he could do this game. Win by 20-26 I think. Highlights : Deck working fine. Lowlights: Beating a friend of mine pretty badly right after coming Back into the game. He didn't really have a chance this whole game. Game 6 : 'The Wretched' v. Clint Hays' Clackdor 7 Ops Heh. He starts normal Op stuff and I start Court with B O. I'll summarize this from EPP Luke's point of view since he was deployed 3 times. First time he walks into the Audience Chamber but notices a cut in his arm so he can't swing his saber and just takes out the ORS who was anxious to plunder his weapon for sale on the black market, next time he was deployed he slashed Jabba and took out another musician before dying this time. Last time he is deployed he is a bit too overconfident…he is wise to Clash Fett and hits someone with his stick and attrition but he should've known some serious smackdown was gonna be coming when I didn't draw battle destiny. Sometimes not drawing battle destiny is Tech versus EPPs J Well lets just say EPP Luke might've had his weapon when he was obliterated But it wasn't in his hand…it was probably stuck where the Double suns of Tatooine never shined. Win by 26. Record : 10 ( +70 ) Highlights : Pretty much everything. Lowlights : putting serious smackdown on a bud. So I go 5-1 with +70 differential and get 4th place which Is good for the Uncommon sheet of Premiere for Light Side. Charlie Herren came in 1st with Throne Room Mains and Ralltiir Ops. After the tournament we go to the Holiday Inn and play like 8 hours of video game between me , Lee , Dan , Charlie Herren , Ira , and Andreas. Charlie Was the only one who got any sleep. Heh…I have to Tell you guys about the Holiday Inn's little bar called The Austin Texas Steakhouse Saloon ;) Ira told me the Miami crew would be in there so I'm going in there Thinking I'll spot them or anybody I know. I don't see Them and I start to notice that people are staring at me And Dan because we are underage. So I feel a little Weird and go to the bar and get a menu. The guy says We have to go sit somewhere else because we are minors. You guys ever see that famous painting where there is Starcases going everywhere and you really can't tell Where the ceiling is ? Well this place has 3 levels and Is like that because there is staircases going everywhere And mirrors so it is crazy looking…if you were drunk There you'd never find the exit. So me and Dan collapse Into a booth seat and watch an old Party of 5 while there Is a band playing. Watching Jennifer Love Hewitt with No sound is TECH. We crack a few jokes and the Waitress comes up there. Heh… Dan is his usual wise Ass self and after awhile I find that the waitress is Hitting on him…he's like 15-16 hell I don't even know But he looks younger and she was like old enough to be His mother so I was cracking up about it later. And I was able to meet a bunch of people. Old people that I Was able to see for the first time in a long time was Hugh Shelton and Mitchell Velasco. New faces were John Arendt , Leonard Mitchell , and $cott Anderson. Props : -Leonard Mitchell , Ira Myers , and Clint Hays for the super games. -All the cool people I was able to meet. -Having Fun and doing well. Slops : - Getting no sleep. - Not having Traffic Control in which would've given me Another 30 points of differential but I still wouldn't Have gotten 2nd place so I didn't really care. And to finish off the whole TR with my favorite quote of The weekend : 'I'm sitting across from the man Decipher fears the most [Ozymandias] and he is wearing a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt'. -Clint Hays at the start of Game 4.
