Well a few weeks ago my Friend Chris Compton and me went to COLORADO SPRINGS CO for a tourney. We Brought Brian Hunter along with us and this was Chris 6 month return tourney. He went 4-2 and was really happy, he took the time off work to go to this last Greeley tourney. We bring Brian with us along with my Friend Cody Jewell; we all come in big hopes of placing high.

Decks:
Me-HD Pods My Way
WYS MY way (Ill post this soon)
Chris-TDIGWATT
HB Pods Flip
Cody-Scum2k Done Right
EBO Pods
Brian-Lightsaber Combat
Tooth fairy Done Right (lol his WYS)

Tom McGee YMSYL Garrison drains

He starts of all the YMSYL stuff. I start my normal stuff. He starts off by getting Vader and Tarkin to Hoth early. I get Captain Han with Chewbacca Protector to Kessel, The outrider with Dash and Melas to Tatooine and a palace raider in patrol craft with Talon Karrde and Mirax to the Spaceport DB. He drops a walker and a character to there and tramples the patrol craft. He then misses a trample on Talon Karrde cause of his game text, I drop more characters and we fight. I Out of commission some cards and retrieve some. He never gets anything-big going and its agreed he hat the worst draw ever well until he played his deck the second time.
FW +19 2(19)
Props: Tom was fun to play with.
Slops: not too interactive.

Cody Jewell EBO pods

Hmm ok time to play one of the three people I came with. He starts EBO podracing with ANSB and I start Phantom menace instead of Wattos box. First turn I stall Anakins pod and draw a 6. I draw some cards and we lose to visage. He pulls sites and plays some sites and we lose to visage. My turn we draw he draws pretty low and I draw a 5 draw a few more cards and lose to visage. He continues setting up and then we lose to visage. He step backwards and I grab it. I draw a 6 and he draws low. I deploy Vader flip and make him lose to visage. He gets EBO out and Naboo but doesnt have force for ships. He loses to visage. I activate and draw race destiny I have enough to win. I retrieve my pile and draw one card its Maul. He loses to visage. He plays some ships to Naboo and lets me go. I drain put maul in his ship there (Tatooine maul) and let him go. He drops Corran Horn on spiral initiates organized attacks and I havta lose maul and card from hand. I drain him out.
FW +34 4(53)
Props: To me for handing him his @$$ its going to be a long 3hour ride home.
Slops: To his deck for not doing anything.

Brian Hunter WYS

Well he is Playing WYS; I am playing HD My Way I get wrecked. Well its a long game and playing the #1 rated player in the world its kind of hard to get any offense going. I flip and win the podrace, he It could be worses but I its worse for a bit and he doesnt have his its a hit. He retrieves a lot and then I drop Mara and cross Luke to the dark side. He attacks Mara and crossed Luke with Phylo and Han. He hits crossed Luke and I hit Han and Mara survives the battle. He has palace raiders everywhere and this is where it all gets weird. I drop Tatooine maul in his ship to Tatooine. He just lost Kessel to a force drain. Now he goes from draining for free retrieving with celebration and force draining plus one at his docking bays to a canceled celebration no force drain bonus, menace fades no longer suspending Maras +1 for saber and needs to pay for battle plan. Well he gets a lands his ship and embarks Melas, next turn he launches then he beats up on maul and drains me out
FL –21 4(32).
Props: Maul for being able to influence the game so much
Slops: umm I didn’t win what a surprise =P

Tom Meade Light Saber Combat dark

He is playing Lightsaber Combat and my WYS is setting up too slow. He gets maul with a presence of the force to the core and is draining me for three. All game he pays to drain me but I fail to mount anything to fight back. Late game I lower his differential as much as possible but winning is out of the question.
FL –14 4(18)
Props: To Tom for winning
Slops: To me for losing

Well the competition seems pretty hard here with only 10 players and about 4 people that I am worried about playing.

Tony Fanchi Senate Naboo drains

He starts off Senate I have never beaten senate. He flips about third turn and I flip right after. I set up docking bay drains but never get the celebration going. Not much happened. He drained me with Vader and Blizzard four at battle plains I drained, not too interactive. In the end I won, cant remember too much about this game.
FW +25 6(43)
Props: I won
Slops: Cant remember much about this game, it was already about 11:00 pm and I had not much sleep

Well final game now and I am tired as hell. Being 3-2 I really need to win cause going 3-3 sounds like a bad idea.

Chris Compton Hidden Base Pods

Hmm he beat me the last time I played this and its a bad match up for me. I decide not to play Wattos box but I start security precautions. He flips pretty early and the podrace is going nowhere fast since he step backwards me and keeps drawing low. I get maul in his ship and probe his system, he loses 9 force I flip and he loses to visage the rest of the game. He dropped Luke with Lightsaber to fight Vader, I try to duel but he cancels it, he initiates and hits Vader. I Vaders eye and I have you now and draw 5 5 6 1 he loses Luke and a lot more and I lose Vader, next turn I no escape to get Vader drop him and he continues to lose to visage. I end up with a lot of cards in hand and he just stacks his last two life force on the podrace that never ended while I only had one destiny on Sebulba.
FW +22 8(65)

Props: to the dark Jedi for being pimps everywhere.
Slops: to the podrace for not ending.

So I end up in third behind Brian hunter and Chris Fanchi. I played all three people who I rode up to the tourney with and beat Chris and Cody.

Props-
Chris for Driving
Pre-Tourney Burger King for being so good
Post-Tourney Taco Bell for also being so good.
Brian for winning,
The fact when you are so tired anything is funny, we kept laughing the whole ride back.

Slops-
To Chris rolling down all the windows and locking them at 3 am while going 95 down the highway freaking cold.
Chris and Cody for both going 1-5

And the best line of the day came from Cody CLOSE THE DOOR YOURE LETTING GREELEY IN!!!! thats just classic dude.
