time before the qualifier and you know what my deck sucks so
in desperation i turn to my good buddy yannick and he shows me
is light side ,witch after i see him play against gary, decide
to build a similiar one minus a few card of is deck and for my
dark side well gary just looks at it well show me the error
i was doing when playing it and made me change a few card
that help a lot.
so my light side was: mind what you have learned( direct damage)
and dark side was: bring him before me.
now on to the tournament
day 1
well for day1 i didn't keep track of my opponent i know i played
great player such as martin raveling, jim li, todd rowe and others
but in the end of a 8 match tournament i standed undefeated
at 8-0 + 132. Wich is my very best EVER, now i am qualified
what a relief.
day 2 annouce to be a lot more tougher than yesterday we are
about 50 and you can see only top player are here. on to the tournament.
my light side vs eric hunter rop's
Well i played against 1 ralltir ops before this match and i won but eric is
a mutch better player than the other guys. But with afa and my 2
presence of the skywalker on table + uncontrolled fury are just enough
to give me the win.
FW 2(+6)
dark vs todd rowe
i think if i remember correctly he started only rendez-vous point
and 3 effect no hidden base so thats a relief well basicly
i set up search and destro by turn 3 with vader at a spaceport
docking bay and mara + emperor at the endor docking bay.
FW 4(+26)
light vs ray bordier bring him
Now ray is a very good player and i must say that it is fun to play
against him. In this game ray made one heck of a masterfull move
i gave him luke to vader on his turn he moves vader to the docking
bay and at the beggining of is control phase he rise my friend vader
and frees luke now at this point i am thinking he fears a beatdown
since i got 10 card in hand + 10 card already activated, so on my turn
i do like everybody and drain he play lost in the wilderness
and the only thing i can do is watch my luke go missing. basicly
after that vader came with a bunch on people made me lose 3
to your destiny and he won
FL 4(+2)
dark vs geoff snider profit
i dont really remember this game but i know that search and destroy
was set up quickly and we battle it out on tatooine.
FW 6(+20)
now at that point i am 3-1 and this good because i am at the
4th table.
light vs hayes hunter bring him
hayes is a very good player we start of like usual for a few turn tough
hayes only draws and like on the 4th turn all at once deploys
cc : downtown plaza, presence of the force, vader, is lightsaber
and some scrub. this is not good i only have obi-wan with lightsaber in hand
so i gave luke to vader drew and played it could be worst when i had it
now at that point i only got one afa and already lost 1st test
ok i am in trouble so i finaly send obi with leia and manage to clear
the site after a couple of turn but hayes just comes back with
tatooine cantina, vader, mara and their lightsaber and that was just
enough to give him the win.
FL 6(+4)
dark versus erick peterson
he starts yoda's hut + 3 effect and thats ok by me. so i
start setting search and destroy but he decide to come and see
me with ben kenobi (deployed at tatooine docking bay) and 2 scrub
ok next turn vader and his lightsaber comes to is site circle
ben slash one of the 2 scrub and he lost some force to that +
search was completed and that basicly ended the game.
FW 8(+26)
so in the end my dark side never lost i went 12-2 at gencon
got a lot of rating since i am at 1776 of rating and finish
9th in day 2 i would say i had a good week-end. well i am
sure to see every one a deciphercon and sorry if i made
mistake with the grammar.
