Torch Industries
Torch Industries was Paul Todd Feldman's Star Wars fan site, "Dr Torch's Web Page", hosted on AOL at members.aol.com/drtorch. The Wayback Machine captured it from December 1998 to November 2004.[1][2] It had a Star Wars store for toys and cards, Kenner toy news, and Master the Art of Star Wars CCG, a deck and strategy section that Feldman maintained. That section linked Carl Mike Hardy's Alderaan Express.[3]
DecipherCon team decks
Feldman posted two decks that won the DecipherCon 1999 Team Event:
- Feldman's Drazin Deck (Dark, Carbon Chamber Testing), built around Corporal Drazin. He called it an interactive deck that "goes everywhere and fights".[4]
- Feldman's Harvest (Light, Harvest), which starts with Obi-Wan's Hut and Lars' Moisture Farm. A version of it won him a Regional and the DecipherCon team event.[5]
The site also listed a team, "Dark Force Rising": Feldman, Jeff Davis, Jeff Field and Dan Hammond, with Eric Field as alternate.[6]
World Championship decks
The site reprinted World Championship decks. From 1997: Paul Todd Feldman (DS, LS), Joe Alread (DS, LS), Michael Krause (DS, LS), Michael Riboulet (DS, LS) and Philipp Jacobs (DS, LS). From 1999: James Lafferty (DS, LS), Steven Lewis (DS, LS), Gary Carman (DS, LS) and Clint Hays (LS).[3]
