After going 4-2 at my last tournamnet, I wanted to change
my decks a little bit. I decided on My Kind Of Scum with
Skrilling swarm for dark. For light, I played Quiet
Mining Colony, with interrupts that avoid battling. This
would be my first tournament away from home. There were
only eight players there, that is a bad turnout considering
three players came from Cincinnati. We all came together.
it was me, Matt Scott, and Albert(AJ) Klein

Game 1: My dark vs. Gary Blackburn (1583) WYS space
I start Well Guarded, No Bargin, TINT/Opp Enforcement,
and Power of the Hutt. He goes with Squad Assignments,
Scrambled Transmission, and Your Insight Serves you well.
My first turn I deploy Chamber, Jabba, and Scum. I use
Power to take Bib. I draw the rest. His turn he deploys
Kessel and Artoo in Red 5 with Farm Boy aboard. My turn I
deploy Lower Passages, with Ephant Mon there. I also deploy
Pore Snitkin and Galid to Chamber. I deploy a skrilling to
Jabba’s Palace and flip. I deploy Den of Thieves, which
was very usefull. I move the skrilling to the Lower
Passages to join Ephant Mon. His turn he drains, I cancel
it. He searches for Corellia and deploys Mirax on the
Skate. He draws the rest. My turn I drain for 4 and deploy
the Sail Barge to Jabba’s Palace with a Merc. Pilot aboard.
I draw and get Zuckuss and IG-88 in their ships. Next turn
he drains, then flips with Han and Chewie aboard the Falcon
to Kessel. He deploys Dash in Outrider to Corellia. Next
turn isn’t the time to go to space. My turn I drain for 6,
deploy Search and Destroy, he would lose one for that the
whole game. I save up. He drains, I cancel the 3 at
Kessel. He deploys LEEBO on the Outrider and moves Artoo
and Luke to Tatooine. I drain for 6 and then attack. I
deploy my ships, and battle. I draw Wounded Wookie, and
a skrilling. My 22 to his 8. He loses them to cover it.
I let him go. He drains, I cancel and lose one. He plays
A Few Maneuvers and moves the Falcon to Corellia. My turn
I drain him for 8. He’s almost done. I move Zuckuss and
IG-88 to Kessel. His turn he deploys Kessel Run and
targets the Falcon. He plays A Few Maneuvers and moves it
to Kessel. My turn I drain, and play Set For Stun on Han.
It works. So I battle and draw two skrillings. He loses
them both. That’s pretty much the game. I retrieve my lost
pile with Abyssin Ornamnet and drain him out to finish the
game.
FW: 2(21)
He never challenged me on the ground. I had many effects
on the table, soi didn’t win by that much. It was a good
game for me. I didn’t expect to see a deck like that.

Game 2: My light vs. Adam Reidy (1437) Bring Him Before Me
I start Battle Plan, Do, or Do Not & Wise Advice, and
Squad Assignments. He doesn’t start anything. His first
turn he deploys Emporer and Emporer’s Power. My turn I
search for Cloud City and deploy West Gallery from my hand.
I draw the rest. On his turn he deploys Overseeing It
Personaly (WTF?). He draws his force. My turn I get the
North Corridor and deploy Princess Leia to the Guest
Quarters. I also deploy Corran to the Corridor. I draw.
He deploys Lord Vader to Corran’s site and battles. I play
Dodge to move to the West Gallery. On my turn I deploy
Carbonite Chamber and Luke w/ Saber there. I use Squad
Assin. to get the Outrider and deploy it and Dash to Cloud
City. I move over Corran to Vader’s site and the Outrider
to Bespin. On his turn I play Path of Least Resistance
during his deploy phase. He moves over to the chamber
and takes Luke. I drain for 3 and deploy Anakin’s
Lightsaber on Leia. I get the Falcon to Bespin and
Celebration out. I deploy Mennace Fades, Order to Engage,
and Aim High. I move over to Vader’s site with Corran.
He deploys Snoova and Mara Jade to the Guest Quarters. He
battles at Vader’s site. I play Narrow Escape and move to
Lower Corridor. Next, he battles Leia. I fire and hit
Snoova. I draw a 4 and he draws a 5. I lose Leia and he
loses both. Next turn, I retrieve and deploy Obi-Wan w/
Lightsaber. I play Off the Edge and retrieve 5 with a
tracked I’ll Take the Leader. His turn he drains, I cancel
it with the text of the Lower Corridor. It goes on like
that for a couple of more turns. I win with no lost pile.
FW: 4(52)
Again, I deploy a lot of cards. I’ll have to learn not to
do that. My interrupts were too much for him. Cloud City
Celebration is cool.

Game 3: My light vs. AJ Klein (1588) MKOS alien mains
AJ came up with us. He knows my deck and I know his. I
start Squad Assin, DODN/WA, and Battle Plan. He starts
No Bargin, Power, and TINT/Opp. Enforcement. His first
turn he deploys Mighty Jabba and Galid at the Chamber
and draws. My turn I deploy Cloud City from my hand and
search for Carbonite Chamber and Leia to the Guest Quarters.
I let him go. He drains and deploys Ephant Mon to the
Chamber and Chall Bekan to the Lower Passages and searches
for an abyssin. He flips his objective. On my turn I
drain for one and he loses the Sail Barge. I deploy the
Lower Corridor and Red 4 with Hobbie piloting to Cloud City.
I deploy Luke w/ Saber to the Corridor. I flip my
objective. I deploy han in Falcon to Bespin.I draw Lando
w/ Gun, Melas, and Twass Khaa. He deploys Boba Fett w/ Gun
and an abyssin to Jabba’s Palace, Myo to the Chamber. On
my turn I deploy Celebration and play Off the Edge and
target Luke. Being the dumb @$$ I am, I mistrack and draw
a one. Luke dies. Mennace Fades comes down. I get down
Obi with Lightsaber to the Corridor. He deploys IG-88
with Riot Gun to the site with Leia, but he doesn’t battle
me. He lets me go. I try Off the Edge again and target
Obi-Wan. I track right this time and retrieve 4. I
retrieve again with Celebration. I deploy Lando, Melas,
and Twass Khaa to Jabba’s Palace. I battle and hit Boba
Fett. I play the lost part of Sorry About the Mess &
Blaster Profincey. He is in trouble now. I draw a 5.
My power is 13 and his is 2. He loses 9 off the top. AJ
is almost done. On his turn he doesn’t drain (Battle Plan)
and instead deploys Bossk in Hound’s Tooth to Cloud City.
He lets me go. I drain, celebrate, and move Han to Cloud
City. He has about 5 left. He battles retrieves 2, draws
a 4. I draw a 3. I lose two and he lets me go. I play Off
the Edge, target Obi-Wan, and retrieve 3. I celebrate to
retrieve my lost pile and drain. On his turn he draws up.
FW: 6(81)
I had another good game with my light side. He couldn’t
seem to find a grabber to grab Off the Edge. AJ just got
back in, so he forgets stuff sometimes, but I have a feeling
he will do a lot better.

Game 4: My dark vs. Adam Reily (1437) Drain on Endor
I started the usual: Well Guarded, No Bargin, TINT/Opp Enf,
and Power of the Hutt. He goes with Rebel Landing Sight,
and uses Careful Planning to get the Hidden Forest Trail.
My turn I deploy Chamber, Jabba, Scum, and Boelo. I draw
my last cards. He deploys LSJK, Luke’s Lightsaber,
Lightsaber Profincey, Daughter, and Anakin’s Saber. I’m
thinking how the hell could he get all those cards even
when I cut!?!? He lets me go. I deploy Den of Thieves
(Thank the maker for this card). I deploy Bib to Lower
Passages and a skrilling to Jabba’s Palace to flip my
objective. I deploy Galid to Chamber. I move over the
skrilling to the Passages. On his turn, he drains, I use
Den of Thieves to cancel it. He deploys Merc. Armor on
Leia and Luke. He draws and lets me go. I’m thinking I’d
better attack before more stuff comes. I deploy 8
skrillings and battle. He hits two of them and plays
Skywalkers. I play Wounded Wookie to cancel Luke’s text.
His draws are 5, 3, and 3. I cancel the 5 with Pote. I
draw Wounded Wookie. He loses Daughter, I steal the armor,
and I lose three skrillings. I move over to the Hidden
Trail. He drains, I cancel, and deploys General Solo and
Chewie of Kashyyyk to the Hidden Trail. I play Set For Stun
and get Chewie. He moves over Luke. On my turn I drain for
4, retrieve a skrilling, and deploy the Sail Barge with a
Merc. Pilot aboard it to Jabba’s Palace. I deploy one more
skrilling, now 5, and move away. He deploys Obi-Wan Kenobi,
and makes a huge mistake. He could of battled, moved away a
skrilling to the Landing Site, and beat my @$$, but he
didn’t. I’m really lucky. He deploys Chewie again and
moves everyone over. I drain for 6, retrieve a skrilling,
and run away to the Landing Site. The game goes on like
this for awhile, but he finaly draws up.
FW: 8(99)
I got really lucky when he didn’t battle with Obi-Wan. I
could of lost that game, but I pulled it out. Den of
Thieves saved me this game, big time

Game 5: My dark vs. Dave Dalton (1907) EBO Ketwol
I start Well Guarded, TINT/Oppresive Enforcement, Power of
the Hutt, and No Bargin. He starts Strike Planning, Aim
High, and Draw Your Fire. I deploy the Lower Passages out
of my hand, look for the Chamber, but it wasn’t there. So
I draw, get Jabba, Chamber, and Scum. His turn he gets out
General Crix, uses the Signal to get A New Secret Base, and
takes the Echo Docking Bay and the War Room. He deploys
Crix and Figirn. He also deplos Goo Nee Tay. My turn I
deploy Chamber, Jabba, Scum, and Bib. I also deploy Ephant
Mon with Power of the Hutt. On his turn he takes a docking
bay. He deploys Artoo to Jabba’s Palace. He signals for
Frozen Assets, I don’t like that card. He lets me go. I
deploy Galid, Pote and a skrilling at the Palace and 3 at
the Lower Passages, I flip. I move over the skrilling. On
his turn he deploys Luke with Lightsaber for seven. He
deploys Frozen Assets. He battles and hits Ephant. I draw
a skrilling. Its 12 to 8. I lose Ephant and Jabba. He
loses luke and tries to switch with a docking bay, but he
forgot to deploy Ketwol. He moves over Artoo and deploys A
Gift. That’s not cool. On my turn I deploy Jabba and
Boelo, but being the dumb @$$ I am, I don’t deploy Hutt
Influence. But the worst thing was, I had it in my hand.
I deploy Sail Barge with Merc. Pilot and 6 skrillings to
the North Ridge and move in. He deploys Obi-Wan to the Chamber
and battles. He hits Galid and draws a 3, I cancel it with
Boelo. I draw a skrilling. It’s 11 to 5. He loses Obi
and switches with a docking bay. My turn I deployed two
skrillings to the Chamber and moved my four skrillings to
the docking bay. His turn we wager, I win. I retrieve
Galid. My turn I finally realize I’m an idiot, and deploy
Hutt Influence. I deployed another 4 skrillings at the
North Ridge and moved in. He deploys Han in Falcon at
Endor. He also deploys Luke with Lightsaber to help out
Crix, Figirin, and Ketwol. My turn I deploy IG-88 and
Zuckuss to kill off Han. I draw two skrillings for battle
destiny. It’s 21 to 6. He lose them buth and a couple
more. I move my second group of skrillings over and trap
him. I draw Galid. He battles my skrillings, I play
Wounded Wookie and cancel Luke’s text. He loses Figirin
and I lose one skrillings. Next turn I drain, battle Luke,
Crix, and Ketwol. I play Wounded Wookie. I draw a six, he
draws a three. I lose a skrilling, he loses Ketwol. I move
the second group of skrillings in. He does nothing. I
battle him and end the game.
FW:10(118)
This was a tough game. I should read my cards next time.

Game 6: My Light vs. Dave Dalton (1907) SYCFA TIES
I start the usual: Squad Assign, DODN/WA, and Battle Plan.
He starts First Strike, Moblization Points, and You Cannot
Hide Forever. He gets Wakeelmui and activates. He draws
up. My first turn I deploy Cloud City and Princess Leia.
I draw up the rest of my force. He deploys Merreck to the
Death Star: Docking Bay. He gets out Endor and Sullust from
his hand. I go. I deploy Luke with Saber to the Docking
Bay. I also get out the Outrider with Dash and Horn
piloting to Cloud City. I battle Merreck, slice him. He
loses him then he gets OOC. He deploys a Dreadnaught to
Bespin and Fighter Cover. He puts down an Intercepter with
a cannon to Cloud City. He battles and shoots down the
Outrider. He lets me go. I drain for one, than play
OOC/TT and place out of play a card. I deploy Orrimarko to
the Carbonite Chamber and Obi-Wan to the Lower Corridor. I
let him go. During his turn, I play Off the Edge and
retrieve 4, but he grabs it.He deploys a TIE Interceptor
with a cannon to Endor, the same at Sullust. He puts down
The Emporer’s Sword at the Death Star: Docking Bay. He
deploys another Dreadnaught to Bespin. During my turn I
deploy Hobbie in Red 4 with cannons aboard to Sullust. I
battled and hit the Intercepter. He deploys U-3PO to
Carbonite Chamber, but he gets Revealed. He deploys
another TIE to the docking bay. He battles Luke and draws
a three, to my 2. He loses the Interceptor (no Sinear).
I drain for 2 at Sullust and 2 at two Cloud City sites. I
play Off the Edge and retrieve 4. He deploys Kashyyyk with
an Interceptor and a cannon there. He deploys U-3PO again,
but again he gets Revealed. My turn I drain and deploy
Twass to the Death Star: Docking Bay. I let him go. He
drains for 8 and deploys Arica, breaks cover and battles.
We both end up losing our characters. I drain for 4, and
he drains for 8. It went on like that for a couple of
more turns. He didn’t get out Sinear the whole game.
FL: 10(113)
That game could have been a lot worse. If he would have
found Sinear or killed Hobbie, it would have been really
ugly.
