Well I hear about this tourney on Friday night. Then I decide that I have sucked lately and
that I need a win. This will Be a Sealed deck tourney. The format is quite weird. We
draft from common base and take 45 cards of both allegiances. No deck building just
playskill and luck.

First Game vs Noah Singer
Well I start Home One Docking bay in all my games. Noah starts the Cloud City
Port town district. He uses mobilization points and pulls rendilli. I set up shop and drain
for 1. Noah eventually goes to the port town district. I drop some random scrubs and a
gran. I then begin a cool lock down. Whenever Noah battles I retrieve a force into hand
it is always the character I just lost last turn. I eventually take over the port town district
and drain there and in space. Noah’s spreads to tatooine but I have a force advantage and
just drain him out. Fw +13
Highs: Winning and gran lock down
Lows: None

Game 2 vs John Spadora
Well john is a friend of mine and we always play. I dont know what he has sot his
will be cool. HE starts the Jundland wastes. Uh oh, I luckily draw the hot defensive
perimeter and rain for 2 to match johns 2 on tatooine. He eventually puts out a another
site and I go fight there I move my forces around, we are both low on force but john is up
2 drains on me, then I remember the counter assault I have I draw for it. He drains for 1
and I play it I have 13 to 7 he loses 6, by now he can’t do all he needs so I am able to hold
him off . Full Win +4
Highs: The counter assault
Lows: None

Game 3 vs Chris Hines

Well we are the only undefeated pleased so we play. He sets up at Bespin
(starting Location) me at a tatooine docking bay. We drain back nd forth. I get a large
space fleet I am able to talon roll on of his two ships an play all power to weapons to beat
him down for 11. That combined with my drain of two seal the victory after some minor
skirmishes. I win. Full Win +8
Highs: space beatdown
Lows: None

Game 4 vs Dan Christy
Another friend, everyone I played was my friend so oh well. He has this great
manipulation thing, for sealed deck but no battle grounds, he uses baragwins and devices
and den of thieves to block drains I only have 1 drain and eventually take over his Death
star 2 docking bay . he moves to Coruscant docking bay, he counter assaults so I lose 12
my only force loss. I eventually edge out a win by 8 Full Win +8

So some how I win a tourney it has been about a month or two since I got back to school
and have been busier than you can imagine, I have dropped 100 points in Swiss to 18
something but my sealed is still high and if this goes in it will go up, I think I am like 2 in
the region. All in all a fun, free, tourney that was just what I needed to keep me going I
was on the verge of quitting , because I don’t like not winning. Oh well deciphercon is
next week so I wont be playing I hear a team tourney is coming up so I look forward to
that.

Later
