Pre-Tourney
I knew that was going to be a tourney because there is one every week in Terre Haute unless there is a convention. I made my dark side the night before the
tourney. It was a Endor Ops deck inspired by Kyle Craft's deck and Frank Lamantia's deck also. It looked pretty tight. My light side I made a throne room
mains. I had nothing else to make so i just made it. I arrive and their are 6 people their. We had to create a ghost player and have the Tournament Director use one
of his friends name. He called him to make sure that it was okay and it was. Some good players were Dave Bouffard and Erik winnings. My rating before the
tourney was 1923.
Game 1
My LS yavin 4 mains vs. Dave bouffard (1877) DS start with 3rd anthology Objective with a lot of starships.
Before this game, he debated whether to play tie's or the star destroyers. Luckily he picked the star destroyer deck. I start the usual stuff and he starts with the
regular stuff for his objective and Imperial Arrest Order. First turn I activate 7, deploy a nudj, and deploy gold leader in gold 1 to alderaan. Then i move it to death
star. Pretty good first turn. I let him go. He activated and got out endor docking bay, twi'leked for reactor terminal, and drew the rest. I drian at the death star for
about three turns during which i back it up with harc seff in gold and Lando in falcon with a hmenthe as a pilot. I move back to alderaan because he was saving a
lot of force. During those turns I also got out all of my sites (10) so i was activating about 16-18 force which helped a lot. He gets out battle order which turns out
to hurt him more than it does me. He deploys ejp dengar and epp fett to the d* docking bay. I deploy epp leia, epp han, r-3p0( for protection) and wedge to the
carbonite chamber which i hold for the rest of the game. I also deploy epp luke against his guys at the d* docking bay and only manage to kill one of them. Next
turn he deploys Grand moff and let's me go. I deploy epp obi and clear the site. He draws ozzel for destiny so obi stays and I move him to the conference room
so i can drain for two. I am hit and running in space with draw thier fire which is hurting him. He doesn't drain that much because of battle order while i have a
good space presence and the carbonite chamber under control. I drain him down to 1 force left then i deployed tantive and battled,I retrieve he loses his last card.
FW (18)
Highlights: Him not getting systems out early and me getting all of my sites by turn 4.
Lowlights: none
Game 2
My DS Endor OPS vs. Andy McCillip (1492) light side cloud city deck.
First turn I get out ds-61-2 to the bunker, a dreadnaught to kashhyyk, and ominous rumours out. He started with lower corridor and downtown plaza. So by my
second turn , I have a drain of 4. Not bad. This game was boring with no battles because i got out a potf on endor and kessel out with some ships. I deploy evax
in a walker to the landing platform. So here's what the game was like. First 3 or 4 turns. I drain of 4 each turn. He just draws. For the next 2 turns i drain for 7
because of endor. He just draws. For the rest of the game i drain for 11 and he can't do anything.
FW (36)
Highlights: The deck worked like a machine.
Lowlights: I didn't feel sorry for him because this guy takes forever just to do his turn. We would of been done in 15 minutes but he went so slow.
Game 3
My DS Endor OPS vs. Josh clark using chris fielding's name and rating.(1560 or something) MWYHL Mains
This game was a good game during the beginning. First turn he deploys EPP luke to the docking bay. Luckily I get admiral ozzel and tempest 1 out and kill luke.
Next turn he deploys farmboy luke and epp leia. he battles and plays skywalkers. I kill off luke and i lose ozzel for attrition. He drew a 0,1, and a 4. I had IAO
out so ozzel had six forfiet. I deploy ds 61 2 and battle. I draw a zero and he draws a 3. He opts to lose 3. Next turn he then revoed my bunker and deployed
obi-wan and his lightsaber. He moved leia and and let me go. I had out come back here you coward so he couldn't drain. I drain him for 1 for 3 or four turns
while he draws and eventually deploys epp luke and orrimaarko. Meanwhile, He deploys tantive and gold leader to endor. I deploy zuckuss and bossk in bus and
lateral damage tantive. He has to lose both of them and some overflow. I move one of them to kashhyyyk and one of them stays at endor. I deployed crush the
rebellion and canceled his revo. He moved obi,luke and leia over to the docking bay. I had tons of force because I had never been force drained and I won most of
the battles. I deploy ds-61-3 in blizzard 2 and choker vader and battle. I only manage to kill off leia but at this point in the game, it doesn't matter. I am draining
for a ton in space. he draws up next turn.
FW (20)
Highlights: I never got force drained at all.
Lowlights: Him never getting out Han. That would been a different game because he would be able to draw more destiny and kill my walkers.
Game 4
My LS Y4 vs Erik Winings (1817) DS death star start with some systems and a lot of ground.
I know that he is going to start death star so I start with the yavin 4 headquarters. So i get 1 more force and i still get to go first. I get a 2 2/0's in my hand and deploy them and a nudj. This game was also boring. I activated around 10 the whole game while the maximum he got to activate was 6. He got out the defensive perimeter so i deployed epp luke and a h'menthe. He only saved one force so i figured that he could'nt deploy vader i would be safe until i could get more characters the next turn. Instead he deploys mara and gets her saber and battles. I lose luke and the h'menthe and mara stays. Next turn i save up. He drains of 3 and draws. I deploy epp obi and draw thier fire and battle. He kills off obi and mara is killed. He deploys a walker and a 2/2 scrub. Next turn i deploy epp han, epp leia, melas, and tawss khaa. I battle and kill off the walker. I have control of the site for about 3 turns while he draws and saves force. I deploy ecc lando, wedge,jeroen webb, and tawss khaa. he deploys jabba the hutt, ig-88 with gun, and epp fett and battles. He shoots han and captures him. I tracked a signal so i shot ig-88. He draws a 0 with hidden weapons so i still have leia. He shoots wedge with fett. I draw a 5 destiny and he draws like crap with his 3 destinies. I lose leia and wedge to cover attrition. He loses jabba because he want's han captured, tawss khaa is there, and he can't over forfiet. I deploy another liea and a epp luke and battle. He has to lose 10 in battle damage and I get han back. I keep draining for 2 until he draws up.
FW(22)
Game 5
My DS Endor Ops vs Dave bouffard's(1877) LS Hidden base with x-wings and proton torpedoes with those interrupts that add 4 to the destiny and make the ship
that was hit immediately lost.
I start out with oppresive enforcement because i need to grab his damn interrupts. Not much to say. He made most of my starships immediately lost with lose interrupts and i couldn't drain in space. He kept on canceling my drain on the ground with rebel fleet. This game sucked. He flipped and drained me for like 7 or 8 a turn. Sorry about not writing much. I didn't want to remember this game.

Game 6
My LS Y4 vs. Josh clark using chris fielding's name and rating.(1560 or something) DS HDADTJ Duel deck.
I knew that he was playing this deck and i had no duel protection. I got a good start by getting a nudj and searching for a non unique alien with wind chimes.I got a
h'menthe. I deployed a nudj from hand and got out jeroen webb with the h'menthe first turn canceling visage. That won me the game. I drain for two and next turn he comes down with ig-88. This game had really crappy destiny draws for the whole game. (Execpt for a duel) Anyway, he battles and misses a capture by drawing a 1 and then draws a 1 for battle destiny. I draw a stinking site. Next turn i drain for 2 and deploy lando with gun then move them to the meditation chamber. Nothing goes on except a couple of drains. Then he deploys epp fett and dengar with gun. He battles and clears the site and he has to lose fett. I get out epp leia, epp han, wedge, another h'menthe, and R-3P0 to his cantina. He just keeps drawing. This is where I made a mistake. I deployed bothan and epp obi to the meditation chamber. I battle and he shoots the bothan. I can't lose obi which sucks. He has to lose dengar and 3. Next turn he deploys vader and tarkin and battles. He duels and plays focused. I draw a 5 and a 5. He cancels one of them. He draws a 1,1,and a 5. If he didn't cancel mine or he didn't play focused, I would've won the duel. He wins by one and i lose obi and 9. I get to go and draw some. He asks me how many cards i have in my hand. I have like 20 so the guy draws up. I only win by 14
FW(14)
Highlights: Getting two people to the holotheatre first turn.
Lowlights. Him drawing up. I was pissed.
So I end up winning the tournament because I was the only person to go 5-1. Dave and Erik went 4-2.
