Okay, here’s the deal I was preparing for this tourney for like a month and a half. Then one week before my school tells me that I have to take the PSATS that day. WTF Sophomore PSATs don’t mean crap, but that’s what I get for going to a private school. Then 3 days before the tourney I get a pinched nerve in my neck...It hurt like hell, so I start taking some codeine for the pain. In one of my drug visions I realize that I can still go but miss or be late for the first game. SCORE! PSATS were easy, BUT some dumb people asked too many questions so I ended up being 30 minutes later than I expected. Oh Well. I got there at the end of the first game. There had been an odd number of people there 47, so I took a loss for 0 in my first game. Damn! The rest of this tourney was done while under the influence of Codeine. I do not recommend the use of this drug except in extreme circumstances....;). Oh BTW I was playing Trinity Hunt Down (to be posted) and a revised version of my Tinker Toyz deck. Game 2 My Hunt Down VS. Anthony Lawrence’s Profit. I decide to take a chance and I start Mara and Ephant Mon.... they stay there the whole game. I had a 2nd turn Vader with saber at the defensive perimeter...he stayed the entire game. Pretty early on he got a couple of scrubs to the Meditation chamber, but I didn’t have the resources at the time to kill them. I set up a few drains on Tatooine with walkers. And that was the game. Afterwards I found out that Ephant mon had kept 4 characters including Lando from being deployed. Full Win by 11. 2(+11) High-Winning without having a bad game. Low-Stupid constant Drain of 2 Game 3 My Hunt Down VS. Josh Grace’s Fake-out Hidden Base. Well this started out bad. Similar to what he does in Middle Earth:CCG (one of the best out there) he curses my Vader’s to the bottom of the deck. It turns out I didn’t draw a single character till third turn and no Vader till fourth. He got an early Lando and Gold Squadron 1 to Endor to make Honor immune and exactly the wrong time, right before I got Vader out. I did not drain for anything, due to Tk-422 and a Projection. Farmboy Luke got an advantage over Mara, which I could not get rid of. He wins by 25. 2(-14) High-Not losing by more Low-Stupid Devil worker J/k...;) Game 4 My Tinker Toyz VS. Chris Perman’s SYCFA Star Destroyer. Well For the first couple of turns his deck confused me. It wasn’t until I saw the Star Destroyers and his Admiral’s order that I was able to build my machine (see my deck name). Second turn he Captured my Madine with Iggy. I ended up setting up fairly fast without madine. In space it turned out to be a battle for endor. I was trying desperatly to keep my Objective flipped so I could get some good drains in. With the I’ll Take the Leader I was able to cycle a couple of ships and Pilots. After he Lateral Damaged Green Squadron 3 with tycho and beat up Tala 1 with Lando , I deployed Nein Numb to the GS3 and some other pilot for 2 destiny. They took down the Executor with a darklighter spin and a 6. I was able to hold on to Endor because I’ll take the leader let me save the ships. Han ended up in Green squadron 3 to hold endor for Game. FW by 3 Great Game! BTW Darklighter Spin is GOD! 4(-11) High-Winning a Great game Low-Chris Losing a great game Game 5 My Tinker Toyz VS. Chad S?????’s BHBM Sorry I forgot your last name Chad. This game stunk. I got a bad draw, and I couldn’t do anything. I don’t remember many of the details. But I used Darklighter Spin Again for money. I ended it with a couple of suicide battles. My loss by 18. 4(-29) High-Darklighter Spin is Money. Low-Losing without a chance. Fianl Game My Trinity Hunt Down VS. Chris Perman’s Rebel Strike Team. His deck was pretty original..I won’t say why becuase I forget...But I know it was original. He never flipped the entire game. I got a pretty early Vader to beat down and we fount a bit. He had the only space the entire game, but I was draining him for tons on ground and at the same time I kept his ground in check. It was a fun game and almost as close as the first against him. I win by 4. 6(-25) Not bad for missing a game. High-Winning a Great Game Low-Beating Chris Perman twice in games that he could have won. Well Josh Grace ends up winning the tourney and both games of the Final confrontation, so I don’t feel to bad about that loss. And it’s cool that he gets the sheets. Here are the final Standings: 1. Josh Grace 10 (+87) * 2. Mike Raveling 10 (+75) * 3. Josh Kohman 10 (+67) 4. Graham Neal 10 (+51) * 5. Jonathan Swenson 9 (+127) 6. Herb Macy 9 (+64) * 7. Zach Stenerson 8 (+58) 8. Andy Newton 8 (+44) 9. Garrett Larson 8 (+38) * 10. Ryan Coller 8 (+33) 31. Me 6(-25)* *Plays Tuesdays at Mirkwood. Props- Mirkwood for Representing . Josh For being cool. Dion for being a great TD with a booming voice. Codeine for helping me deal with my pain. People for trading me 2 ONE-ARM’s (I’m up to 32) People for trading me a bunch of stuff. Decipher for revising the Shadows of the Empire thing. Slops- Hotel food was expensive. PSATs were easy and suck. Stupid people for asking to many questions about such an easy test. Codeine for messing with my mind. Josh for resorting to Curses. Advantage Ken for not trading me 2 tramples. @#$% Decipher Prize Support for runners up. Rich Jeffery II ONE-ARM
