Here is my tournament report from the Mirkwood tournament that Mike Raveling posted a report from as well.

I was playing BHBM for the DS with S/A Tramples and Imperial Command. For LS I played a Twix manis and toys deck.

Game 1 Vs. Chad Steger’s Rebel Strike Team deck. I started and gor Ozzel in my opening hand, so at the end of turn 1 I have Emporer at his chamber, Ozzel at the DB and Rendilli out. Chad activates and draws up. Turn 2 I pull the Yavin DB and get a walker there with DS-61-something. Chad acitvates and saves. Turn three I look for Hoth DB not there, but Chimera is in my force pile, I draw until I find it, also get Watts, Marquand, Bliz. 1. Chad activates and puts out madine and some scouts. My turn I put out Watts Marquand and Ride at Endo Hidden Trail. Chad put a couple more scouts out, and Luke and for the rest of the game chased me around Endor. I put Vader and Tarkin at Hoth DB, and saved remaining. Chad now has Lando Nien Nub and Gold Squad 1 plus Cracken in Tala 1 at endor. My turn down comes Chimera plus Piett, Chirnaeu, and Cpt. Sarkli. I battle, play Imp. Command to limit him to 1 and use Emp. Power to draw an extra, I draw 2 4’s to his 2. I’m immune, he loses, Nien Nub, and tala 1. His turn he moves Lando to Rendilli. My turn I deploy Zuckuss and Bossk to rendilli, squash him like a bug. thats game I win by 15.

Game 2
My LS vs. Josh Grace Vader vs. the world Hund down

Turn 1 he activates and draws, I activates, deploy endor, and home 1 DB. He puts Potf there and draws all but 1. I deploy luke w/saber to Home 1 Db. Next run here comes Vader, but not enough to battle. My turn down comes leia, battle Skywalkers. I hit Vader, he loses vader and like 9 force, I lose Leia. I saw 3 vaders hit the lost pile when he was losing so I thought uh-oh, then I drew my out of Commision, play it, not vader damn. He activates drawsall but 2. I activate, Drain, draw. He activates, deploys Vader, battle I hit Vader, He hits luke, both die I lose 2 force. My turn I activae search for a DB, Jedi Luke is in my force pile, I draw up. He activates saves it all. I activate, deploy Jedi Luke w/saber to home 1 DB. He activates deploys Vader, attempts to duel, I sense, draw a 1 cancelled. my turn. I activate, battle vader, chop him up. I win the battle, luke lives I draw Out of Commision, play it, get Vader YES. then Josh says "Okay you win" What??? he flips over his deck only character in it is Vader. I win by 18

Game 3 vs. Jerry Flynn’s old school JP EtE with capturing, vs. my LS

Turn 1 he gets oput all his sites, and deploys Dr. E. to the AC. I activate deploy endor, Home 1 DB, and Madine to db, save 1 force. His turn he seploys Fett w/Gun to back up Dr. E. my turn, I deploy Jedi luke with daddy’s glo-stik, he plays none shall pass. I sense it. cancelled, battle, swing at dr. e. hit. He plays hidden weapons and captures Luke. His turn luke is put into Jail. The rest of the game was a battle at the dungeon to release all my captives (at end of all battle I had 3 in there) I fianally free them with a bothan spy who lived through 2 turns of carnage to free everyone, I spread out through JP and drain him out. I win by 21.

Now I’m 3-0 and have to play Mike R. I beat him last week with this same deck, so I am hopeful that I can do it again. Then he puts out X-wing swarm, that is the only weakness that my deck has, and he exploits it. Mike wins by 13 (for a better review of this game read his TR. It was all sorta a blur to me, I was getting tired and wanted to go home).

Final review I went 3-1 and finished 2nd to Mike (a ranking I’ve had many times before). But I had a lot of fun, and played some fun battle heavy games (damn Mike and his cheese:). So it wa a fun Tourney. and a final plea to anyone in MN come to these Tuesday tourneys. It is a very fun informal atmosphere, and we will make you fell welcome.

Cheers:
the guy who just moved from ND and came to play anyways, just cause you went 0-4 doesn’t mean you can’t come back.

Ben Johnson, He is our resident Newbie, he comes every week, and gets squashed, but we try to make it fun for him, and he always comes back.

Everyone but Mike and Herb. You all played fun decks, and I had some fun games, thanks guys
