Well here’s another weekly tournement from Smyrna. I was kinda pumped coming into this tourney since in the last two tourneys i got 3rd. My Huntdown dueling deck needed tweeking so i exchanged the Tatoine Docking Bay for Cloud City docking bay. Also i exchanged the generic docking bay for a Death Star Docking bay. In my Rescue the Princess deck. I decided to add in a Clash of Sabers and two Fallen Portals. My rating going into the tourney was 1592.

Decks: - Hunting With Vader Version 2.0 = Dark side
Rescue the Princess and Restore the Republic = Light side

Pretourney:

I get to the store around 11 o’clock after a night of heavy playtesting at a friends house. I play Stephan Micheal so he could test his new WYS asteriods. I win only because i got CHYBC out and he took out his #’s. After that I play a game with Kevin out local squadron member but he wasn’t running today’s tpurney. It was my RTP vs. his AOTBS. Basicly I set up Menace Fades and started draining then laided my mains against his dude. I win that game. Well everyone starts coming in and we get 12 people to play. It’s a four game tournement.
