8/26/00 Today there was another tournament held at the Book Exchange in Augusta Ga. The one last week was won by Paul Meyers. I wasnt able to play because i had to work. So all last week i playtested decks, i made all kinds from light numbers to endor ops. none made me happy though. On friday night i get on decktech and i see a deck posted by bastian, its a brangus glee deck. i like it so i put it together. it wrecks most anything i can throw against it. for light i ended up playing a harvest deck. i hadnt seen one in quite sometime so i thought it would play well. plus i couldnt think of anything else to play. so i get there and there is a pretty good turnout 20+ i think. i have the highest rating of anyone there going in at 1971. well first round pairings were announced and i have to play against a 12 year old kid who only learned how to play a couple of days ago.

Game 1 my Harvest Vs. Forrest's ??????????
he starts back door and no starting interrupt. i start the usual obi wans hut lars farm. there really no detail to go into this game. i drain 2 at lars farm with a bomar monk, 2 at back door with epp luke and 1 at the endor docking bay. i only deploy 9 cards and win the game by 51.
2(+51)

i really hated playing such a new person to the game. there really wasnt anything i could do to win by less. i didnt have traffic control out and i didnt draw or activate much.

Game 2 My Brangus Porn Star Vs. Chris Meyers Profit.
the brangus deck wrecks profit of anykind. i set up brangus at deathstar. he does his own thing for a few turns. blast door controls wreck him. brangus brings back set for stun, monnok, and always thinking with your stomach 4 or 5 times each. jedi luke gets missing, boussh gets captured by ig-88. i kill a couple of ben kenobi's and epp hans with epp vader, i had 2 6's and a 5 stacked. lose vader exchange a docking bay for the just lost vader. i take it by 22.
4(+73)

this deck is a machine. to anyone who thinks otherwise, i suggest trying it out. if you are good enough to play the deck.

Game 3 My harvest Vs. Paul Meyers bhbm numbers.
this deck was a surprise to see. Emperor, tech mor, and some destiny 4 mexican come out. odds hit many times and i was keeping up for the most part with a harvest on my and his turn. rise my friend keeps his odds very high. i almost outlast him but drains at endor with presence and rendilli with presence proved to be too much for my stupid ass light deck. lose by 2.
4(+71)

this deck sucks ass. but i couldnt think of anything else to play. oh well i guess ill have to head back to the drawing board.

Game 4 My brangus Vs. paul Meyers elom profit.
so i get to play paul again. He starts with the alien han, uh oh, your insight and something else. i start off fast with brangus and many monnoks insue. he loses like 20+ cards off 3 monnoks. i dont think he understood what i was doing cause he asked me "how many monnoks do you have in that deck". im like 1 dude, you havnt seen me exchanging a docking bay everyturn when i play a monnok. i take no drains all game i think and i only lost 1 to profit damage 1 time i think. not much of a challenge playing against eloms with this deck. towards the end of the game i drop barquin dan and broken concentation. i drain him to one card and then retrieve my whole lost pile. win by 39
6(+110)

i felt alittle bad about retrieving my whole pile. IM LYIN LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER !!!!!

Game 5 my harvest Vs. Carmine's set your course ties.
he starts off slow for a tie deck. he only drops 1 system and some ties. it could be worse handles drains. he plays his one grabbler on my tunnel vision. not sure why he did that. anyway i harvest on everyturn. I hope she's alright comes out and hurts him pretty bad. plus drains of 2 at obi's hut and lars farm with monks. and late i drop super falcon against a squadron tie and an interceptor. and i play i know. 5 destinys against 2 ties with no destiny. i play legendary star@#$%er.combined with i hope she's alright push me to victory. win by 26
8(+136)

the deck worked perfectly against ties.

Game 6 my brangus Vs. Clay Cushman's Charlie herrins there's good in him.

the winner of this game would win the tournament. i start slow, it took about 5 turns to draw a brangus. but a first turn vader to the endor docking bay chokes him for a while. i get 2 monnoks in, getting 2 falcons and some other stuff. onith takes out 2 captain hans and a wedge. he dosnt do much this game as i got a good draw with the monnok's. hot jedi never comes out and i drain at endor system and his 2 1/0 docking bays. he plays an out of comission and i have a pretty good size lost pile. he gets a death star docking bay so my recursion is halted. it didnt matter though as i had already killed most of his characters and he was almost out of force. fury comes out pretty late but i never lose to it cause of the lack of characters. plus vader got missing. i win by 14.
10(+150)

once again the brangus deck rolls. even though i got a bad draw with no brangus's it really didnt matter.


So i win the tournament. i should get acouple of ratings points. not many though as i lost to paul and 4 of my games will serve as making up for that loss. but all in all i had a fun day. now for the props and slops

Props.
james for running a smooth tournament.
paul for playing a good game and not getting too mad when i retrieved my whole lost pile.
clay for being lucky and getting my docking bay oop.

slops.
paul for not being able to go back to back. told ya before the tourny i was gonna win by 39 :)
mcdonalds for giving me heartburn.
tony for not playing. stop gettin @#$%ed up the night before the tournament and maybe you would wake up in time.

sorry for lack of details but im not very good at that kind of thing.
