Nathan W (Naetor) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2011-11-23 - 05:30 PM Printable Borg Introduction I've been busy so I haven't been able to think up any new printable decks. I was throwing some ideas around earlier this week, but the night before I decided to just play something old. I was going to play Equinox. But since Matt played them last time, and I played them the time before that -- I decided to bring out the Borg. Bad choice, but oh well. Round 1 Rogue Shindler FW (+75) Rogue was playing Bajoran Resistance. First of all cool. However, as he was dropping down guys I was realizing they kind of suck at having one good skill. They kind of remind me a lot like Dominion, but different attributes. Some have low strength, others have low integrity, and all have marginal cunning. Anyways, I was stacking dilemmas well and ended up pulling out the win -- only conceding some bonus points: 100-25. Round 2 Matt Kirk ML (-10)View opponent's ReportView original Report I was pretty much ahead the entire early game. About half way through I thought the game was in the bag. I was slowing him way down and single attempted my space mission. Things were going good until I hit Restore Errant Moon and got smoked. I couldn't stack a single dilemma, getting hit by Echo Papa, Dignitaries, and Captain's Holiday over and over. The Clown kept saying go away, but I was too stubborn to do just that for one turn. I think he probably returned 10 drones back to my hand. My dilemma play was good, but his crushed me considerably more. It went to time, but I doubt I'd have been able to squeak through his minimum sized dilemma pile. Congrats on the tourney win, Matt! Modified loss: 60-70. I hadn't seen Borg in a while, and was immediately glad that I had Mediate Peace Treaty as a safe haven against assimilation shenanigans. It turned out to be irrelevant, since Nate was trying a straight up 2-mission win deck, scoring 15 from 3x Annexation Drone, and 5 from Debate Over Dinner, with two 40-point missions (Breach Barrier & Restore Errant Moon). I snagged Locutus early on with Holding Cell, and tried to find Dignitaries and Witnesses every chance I got. It turned out to win me the game along with The Clown: Go Away; I stopped Nate at least five times with the one copy of D&W I ran. I came from behind to win this one at time. 70-60 Round 3 Johnny Holeva FL (-90) Johnny was playing Voyager, doing either 4 space or 3 space/1 planet. He was also playing Chuckles with a ton of events, 8 costers, Unfair Comparison, and the discarding ships-Back To Basics stuff. Voyager is probably tier 1 with Klingons and Borg assimilation, and I wasn't playing anything to stop him. I captured Chakotay on his 2nd mission with Inequitable Exchange -- essentially conceding the mission to get him -- but that didn't stop him from using Revised Chakotay to make it through that mission and his third mission. Meanwhile, there wasn't a lot I could do on my end. I got hit with Back to Basics for a full stop, Unfair for essentially the same, and Formal Hearing for the same. I guess that is why scamming K&E is the usual tactic of choice for Borg. Anyways, full loss: 100-10.
