Well My rating going into this Tourney was 1635. Wow!
WELL HERE WE GO!!!
GAME 1:
My RST BOOMRACE vs. Corey Jackson (1496) Huntdown
Well I start my Strike Planning, and he starts the regular Huntdown stuff with the new Maul Dueler effect. I pull my Generals, and I Did It!, and I got a god hand. He gets a first turn Vader to the Lars Moisture Farm?? And I go and lose one. I deploy my Generals to the Landing site, get out Kensaric, deploy Shield is down, take out Bunker and Backdoor, and draw one, he goes. Force drain of two, I draw race destiny my 19 to his 7 total. He lets me go I lose one. I force Drain, throw myself a charge, Deploy Bunker, Charge, take out Deactivate and Deploy, Deploy Jedi Knight Luke, Move over to Bunker, Draw one, He goes, we both lose one. I win the race, but He kinda hurries his turn and Lets me go before I get to win the race so I have to wait an extra turn. I go DESTROY THE BUNKER!!!, drain for 2 at the back door, get out Midge. My move I win the Race, retrieve 6, he loses 6. he goes. He elises Vader over to the Bunker, Plays Dioxis = FAILS. Blind Duels anyway, throws his saber. I draw 6-5, he draws 3-1. I win the duel. He loses Vader and 9. That is the Game. I win this game by 35.
FW (2) +35.
Props: RST BOOMRACE. It @#$%in kicks ass.
Slops: Blind Duels. Never do it against High Destiny decks.
Well my first game is over, and now I have very High Confidence with my Light deck. It worked perfectly. Well Matt Scott, AJ, Wes, and Veasey all won this game.
Game 2:
My TIES! Vs. Albert “Studtradomus” Klein (1685) PODPROFIT AINT LOSIN TODAY!
Well I have a very Bad feeling about this matchup, considering that he should beat my @#$% unless I get a god start. I start 3 combo effects, all of them except the battle order one. Well I draw, and I get my wish, 3 @#$%in Planets!!! @#$% yea. Well I deploy Sienar and Wakeelmui and 2 ties one at endor, one at Naboo. I draw he goes. He deploys Ben and Lando wit Axe, and Plays Outta Commision and I grab it. Well I go again, and I deploy Kashyyk and a tie, and Play Neimodian advisor get out Kiffex and put a dreadnaught there. ***BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE ALERT*** I then deploy Battle Order First Strike and A tie to the Death Star dockin bay, thinking I was doing some techy @#$%. Well he goes and deploys Corran to the docking and wipes out my tie. I think @#$%. I go force drain for 8 now having to pay. I deploy Arica and battle Corran but I get unlucky and Corran stays and I lose Arica. I deploy my last system and a tie, but now Im screwed. He releases han and starts the force drains. Well this goes on for a couple of turns, but as we get later we both cannot force drain to our full potential and I get down to only a few cards. Well he wins the race, because of the direct Damage or 4 and I end up Punchin myself in the face, because of my card Battle Order for costing me the game. That game woulda been over in 3 turns after I got my 5th system out and instead I lost. Damn that is a scrubby mistake.
FL (2) +31
Props: AJ and my hand
Slops: Alex George, Battle Order, and PODPROFIT.
Well I just scrubbed out in a game that may have cost me the tournament. Well as a way of saying sorry, Aj walks over to Wendy’s with me and we get lunch. We are still friends and I forgive him for some Jackassisness that he did in this game.
I get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger – The cheese, the mayonnaise, the salad @#$%. So its really just a bacon burger with Ketchup. That makes my day just a little bit better.
Well we get back and its time for the 3rd matchup.
Game 3:
My TIES! Vs. Wes “Westradamus” Sutermeister (1563) WYS Bottomly @#$%.
Well I start the same @#$% again. I get another rather good start but It is not that good. I deploy in space, And start forcedraining. I get my spies out on the ground and cancel his drains. About 4 turns later he deploys a beatdown on a lone tie and I GHHK!!!!! It. I then deploy 2 ties and a cannon, lat damage the falcon, Shoot down the Pulsar, and outrider, All Power to weapons. He loses Han and 1. That means that I am rather safe for the rest of the game, cause I now know that he only has one ship left and that is Red 10. Well later he gets it out and I then wipe it outta the sky. I then forcedrain for about 8 a turn while I only have to lose 1. Well this game was fast and I drew a little and did not try to pump the diff. I end up only winning by 8 cause of mass @#$% on table.
FW (4) +39
Props: My ties @#$%in rock
Slops: Too much @#$% and a huge hand. @#$% me.
Well after that game, I was rather happy with my Ties and I had the feeling that I would get in the top 3 this tourney. Well I had to back up my thoughts so I got ready for my next Matchup.
Game 4:
RST BOOMRACE vs. Matt “Scottradamus” Scott (1864) Senate Pile of Jizz take it out and burn it.
Well this game pretty much sucked. It only took him 4 turns to beat me somehow, So I really do not have really any special happenings. A third turn Vader, P59, and DRE to wipe out some scouts and make me lose 11 over flow hurt me. I never got to blow up the Bunker. Finally on the turn I was going to win the race, Matts total drainage of 8 took me out. This game really sucked for me and I was starting to get worried. Only one battle, and not one force drain by me, shows a very small bit of offense. I could do absolutely nothing.
FL (4) +12
Props: Matt Scott on a perfect game.
Slops: Matt Scott for having too many Perfect games versus me. Silly @#$%er.
Well Im kinda pissed cause now I’m 2-2. I think I may be starting to scrub out, cause I have not done much so far. I lost two games and I am worried. I then decide to keep my chin up and WIN MY NEXT TWO GAMES (I hope).
Game 5:
RST BOOMRACE vs. Johnny Crawford (1764) Tie Bombers!!!! AAAAAAHHH
Well he starts just coruscant and No objective. He deploys a Tie bomber first turn to Endor and lets me go. He was giving me no force So I was only activating 6. I deploy Han and Crix and draw one. (NO WE wish to board at once or shield is down)
He goes and does not force drain me. I race I now have 18 to his 6. YAY. I’m GONNA DO IT!. He deploys Wakeelmui and Sienar and Another Tie to endor with some proton bombs. I then Go. I deploy Leia worrying about a bombing run. Use my obj. Hand Update. I now have Bunker, Deactivate, 2 charges. I don’t deploy them yet. He goes. Still cant find a system. Uses Imp Comm to get Piett and uses his once per game function. NO MERREJK. So he just goes down to his newly deployed Naboo in a dreadnaught. I then win the race, retrieve none, he loses 6. I DID IT! Which is deployed in my turn. I then deploy Battle Plan Draw Their Fire. I then do one of my many scrubby mistakes, which truly shows that I am not able to contend with the big boyz just yet. I deploy my bunker @#$%, and take home one into hand with ackbar and haashn with Launchin the assault and me drawing my pilots earlier. **did you notice my mistake** if not I’ll tell you after the game. Well of course during his turn he collapses my Bunker. Which contained one spy and EPP Obi. I think @#$%. After this moment, Johnny informs me that I can still Blow the Bunker cause it retains its card type as bunker. I do not know if this is correct, but I go along with it, cause he is a TD and seems to know the rules. So I then move all of my characters over to the collapsed site and Deploy the Home one with Ackbar, Haashn, Blount, EPP LEIA, and Shuttle Gen Solo up at endor. I then Play Throw me another charge and notice that 4 of the remaining 11 cards are 6s plus the new 6 at the bottom. I also have another charge in hand so I think that I have a chance to blow the bunker. My turn, activate till 2 cards are left. Flip with caution. @#$% YEA. 6-6 throw me, The collapsed Bunker is blown away. YA YA. I don’t even know if this is a correct ruling but I aint arguing and That made my game. Home One wrecks for the remainder of the game in space, while I retrieve 2 a turn, a tracked scout and a card with I did it!. I finally win by 12.
FW (6) +24
Props: My excellent game. I still would have won if I had not blown the Bunker, but I woulda only won by 4, cause the last 5 turns no force loss happened.
Slops: my Scrub Mistake
**my mistake** I shoulda deployed Home one the turn before I was going to blow the Bunker. I shoulda held the Endor system, cause he cannot collapse If he does not control the site. I was one turn to early. Dang you Alex George.
Game 6:
My TIES! Vs. Kyle George (1649) PodProfit does not lose
@#$%! Another podprofit. Well I get another great start with 2 neimodians advisors and one system. Deploy my system, Wakee, Sienar with Twilek, 2 ties, Neimo, his turn. He deploys some @#$% down on tat and lets me go. I force drain, then use my other Neimo to get out another system, use all power, deploy a tie there. Then draw. Get 1 more tie, a dreadnaught and another system. WOW!!! @#$% yea. He releases han, retrieves, deploys some more, and lets me go once again. I forcre drain for 6, deploy my a tie, deploy a dreadnaught, Draw one, NEIMO!!!, get out my last system. And he goes. He force drains me for some @#$%, I cancel one, and lose the rest +profit damage. I then go. Force drain for 8, deploy my final system. Deploy my Remaining Ties to empty lost pile. I draw, get both squadrons, 2 ties, and short range. He force drains, I cancel one. And lose a couple. My turn. He finally is over on the race total. I deploy a squadron and my tie on dreaded to get to that Magic number of 9 on table. One more tie to go, and it is in my hand. I deploy the other squadron and Now have only like 7 cards in lost pile. I also did forcedrain this turn, but forgot to write it earlier. Move phase lose 6, he retrieves 6. Force drains. I cancel one more. I am losing like 9 force. I go drain for 10. Deploy my final tie. Let him go. Drains for like 12 with prof damage. I play short range get 10 back. I go. Force drain. He goes Force drain. I go Force Drain. Game over. I win by 4. WHEEH
FW (8) +28
Props: nice start up.
Slops: Profit is fast.
