Well I hadn't played a tournament in about a month or so and I had this little pre-tournament party where I had Neal Razi , David Akers , Chris Schutz , Daniel Blackford , and Lee Edwards over to play cards and mess around. I was messing around and testing stuff but gave my buddy the deck I was using in playtesting. I go to sleep at like 5:30 AM and get up at 10 AM. I'm addicted to NFL2K so I just threw together the decks I actually used at the tournament pretty quickly. With only 4 hours of sleep I was actually pretty charged up and ready. Quite a few funny scenarios like Harc Seff's Armor saving his hide ;) Deck intro : LS - Throne Room thing … normal stuff , nothing really special….Lightside decks don't deserve a name ;) DS - 'Bittersweet Symphony' - Musicians with ECC and EJP hate. I think I might've missed 1-3 cards that I sketched for the deck but I couldn't tell. Used new EJP Objective Sidenote : Lee leaves his decks at my house , my dad finds it and drives it to the tournament , we go back and look for it at the house and hear my dad went to tournament , then we go back to tournament. So basically we force the tournament to start 10-15 mins late. Game 1 : 'Bittersweet Symphony' v. Eric Carbone's MWYHL Court of the Vile Gangster nails him for damage. He starts MWYHL and Goo Nee Tay. I dump out like Lyn Me , Rystall , and Boelo or something to retrieve my damage. He says something like ' oh no , not musicians' …hehe ; this might be the only area in the World where you'll hear that phrase. He passes test one and two very quickly. He's giving me a lot of force , I'm generating like 14 force a turn. Basically I get Ak-Rev out and cycle through my deck for the musicians I want. He takes lots of damage from CotVG and the n deploys Captain Han Solo to the Casino. He plays CC Sabaac . He busts and I win the Sabaac. He leaves Captain Han there . I've got a pretty solid group of characters in the Audience Chamber. He draws up his active force…you probably see the picture here…Elis , I drop Fett for free, Jodo Kast , 3-4 Musicians…including Rappertunnie. Hit Han with Fett so his forfeit is 0 , spit and hit him with Rappertunnie so his power is 0 : Sidenote - Lyn Me would've made his Total Power 0 anyway. So its Scum 21 and Han 0 - absolute 0. 21 Card units of Damage later he's pretty much dead. I have no lost pile. Win by 29. Record : 2 ( +29 ) Highlights : The huge battle. Lowlights : Smacking a newbie in his first game…at least he recognized the decktype. Game 2 : LS vs. Andrew Ledwith's Imperial Scrub deck w/ interesting twists. I get a huge jump on generation. He starts Death Star with Imperial Arrest Order. He throws out Kiffex and I throw down tough Falcon and spit out Order to Engage. He starts saving up. I'm paying 3 to drain him at Kiffex for 2 but it is worth it and slowly taking its toll. I Tunnel Vision on consecutive turns for 2/0 locations to start working the advantage. Murtoc Yine drops to my Farm w/ Jabba the Hutt and Normal Vader but he doesn't kill my Nudj. He Lateral Damages my Falcon but Captain Han doesn't fear Damage …he laughs in the face of Lateral Damage. I Barrier him here and there and Order to Engage and my Multiple destinies ( EPP Leia on Spiral , and bunch of other pilots there too ) slowly take their toll. He deploys the CC:DTPlaza and I throw Obi-Wan Kenobi there to finally get past paying Battle Plan even though it isn't that bad. He throws Mara down there and battles…I draw a 3 and Mara draws a 0. I get ready to unload on Mara. I deploy Luke , Wedge , Beezer , Yoxgit . I swing but I miss her and I only draw a 1 , but he draws a 0 so he has to lose Mara and 7 or 13 so Mara and 7 go down. I now have Battle Plan/Order Fulfilled so I'm pretty much home free. He pays to drain at the Farm to hit off some damage. Win by 26 I think. Record : 4 ( +55 ) Highlights : Winning ….cracking jokes about Han not caring about Lateral Damage. Lowlights : Beating one of my buddies pretty bad. Game 3 : 'Bittersweet Symphony' v. Brian Fein's Hidden Base Scrub guys. He starts HB and Insurrection. I deploy Mara Jade with Lightsaber to Audience Chamber and he takes Court of the Vile Gangster Damage for the whole game long. I reinforced it with somewhat of a Musician theme to retrieve with Rystall. I get out Scum and Villiany and he flips so I go to probe. I've got the probing machine…Jabba's Cruiser + Jabba + Security Precautions + Outer Rim Scout. I throw my fantastic fleet at him and probe it out in like 2 turns. I make a huge mistake when probing though and Mist Hunter is on the end of a beatdown that takes it an 18 force down. I manage to retrieve a bunch with Scum and Villiany and Musicians to do damage but Scrub Pilots add to drains here and there. If I get First Strike I win this game . Also which I didn't think of earlier is that I don't remember seeing Battle Order all game long…probably one of the cards I forgot to put in or something. Search and Destroy needs to go in this deck too…Loss by 6. Record : 4 ( +49 ) Highlights : not much Lowlights : no ground interaction at all…I will revise this deck to force interaction or else. Game 4 : My LS v. Daniel Blackford's Ominous Rumors deck Well first turn I get 8 force. I deploy a 2/0 , drop EPP Luke at his DB , and do a nudj thing. I hit him for early damage with the docking bay drain. I get huge amounts of generation and pretty much do things at will. He throws Evax across from Luke and gets Rumors out and moves Evax to Bunker with Perimeter Patrol. Bothan Spy , Tawss , and Beezer come in and knock Evax out of there. He gets out Kessel and I put Red Leader in Red 1 out there. Order to Engage is out and he comes back with a Dreadnaught and Arnet piloting it. I 'React' with Spiral and get rid of Arnet. I deploy a Landing Claw on RliR1 and pretty much stick him on the hip. Right now I've totally infiltrated Endor… Tawss , Beezer ,and Spy in Bunker ; EPP Luke , Harc Seff , Yoxgit , and Jereon Webb at Docking Bay and Clawed ship on Dreadnaught. He deploys the Bus to Endor and next turn I 'detach' from the Dreadnaught and drop Loaded Falcon against the Dreadnaught. I get Draw Their Fire and battle I kill the Dreadnaught for it and a handful after that. I slide over and sit in front of the Bus w/ Loaded Falcon and company. He drops Igar and a pilot in a Blizzard Walker and battles against Luke. I've got a lot of forfeit down there and Smoke Screen to kick out the DS pilot. The Bus lands after loosing 3 for O2Engage and goes with Igar in Walker. I Rumble at the docking bay for a few turns in a row with FS / DTF damage and characters dropping all over the place. Eventually I knock off Igar and it's down to Vader. I have Yoxgit and EPP Luke across from Vader. I TC a few cards back and then use 3 to get a green card w/ Yoxgit. I grab Obi's Saber. Drop Obi-Wan Kenobi and Stick with Luke and Yoxgit. I hit Vader with a Weapon destiny of 11 , Glancing Blow , and him drawing a 1 total destiny means he's down a Vader and like 15 force. Win by 28. Record : 6 ( +77 )? Somewhere in there or so. Highlights : Nothing. Lowlights : Slamming another apprentice , he didn't have much of a chance. Wrap up : I had a load of fun at this tournament and weekend just messing around with cards and stuff. David Akers won the tournament going 4-0 with a nice differential. I came in 4th with my record. I watch as Lee Edwards goes on an urge and buys a box of Reflections…he got some really really good pulls though so it didn't seem like a wasted venture. There was excellent prize support - Reflections and a bit of EJP and ECC. I get the Fett ECC pack and a Chewbacca Foil. My friend Chris pulls an Artoo Foil , David pulled a Spiral foil , and Neal pulled a Guest Quarters ( why ? ) foil. All in all a really fun time. I thought my lightside wouldn't do as good as it did but it did okay. The Musician deck is looking very strong…switch about 3-5 cards here and there and it is set. Mike Fitzgerald
