Nathan W (Naetor) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2012-01-04 - 05:30 PM Printable Equinox II Introduction I've thought about some Unity decks, but I didn't have the time to put anything together. So I just took my old Equinox deck, added Jones, Tacking Into The Wind, and replaced TCS with Evade Samaritan Snare. Round 1 Rogue Shindler FL (-100)View opponent's ReportView original Report My dilemma play was pretty poor this game -- besides landing a Causal Recursion. The play of the game was me using The Oracle's Punishment to remove his Engineer mission skills from one of the hologram missions. The Rogue revealed Exocomp showing the mission skills for the solve. He played well and deserved the win. Domination. Nate was playing Equinox, and I pulled the right dilemma every time. In the meantime, his lack of familiarity with the holograms caused him to short his dilemmas, or underestimate my ability to get around or gain skills for dilemmas. I was near to winning outright when time was called, and Nate graciously conceded. Round 2 Matt Kirk FW (+100) Matt was playing some crazy concoction of the NX prototype, Spatial Reconfiguration on 1 span missions, and damage dilemmas. He almost blew up my 13 crew ship, but Ezri was Secretly Identified as Navaar. Round 3 Johnny Holeva TT (0) Johnny was also playing holograms. No Christening or Equinox in my opening hand meant I started pretty slow. I did, however, get some good dilemma plays on him. Strange how the pile worked so well against Johnny, but not against Rogue who was playing a similar deck? Probably user error. Time got called with us tied 35-35. I knew I made a blunder going for my 35 point mission first. Mine and Rogue's, and Johnny and Rogue's game had all went to time. That hologram deck seems to play slower with with the juggling of the player's hand and holoprograms. Time was called on his turn. I buried dilemmas at his mission, and he popped An Issue of Trust on mine (Marla had died to Whispers earlier) so we ended tied at 35. I need to put something new together before we play again in two weeks -- particularly the dilemma pile. Perhaps I'll give the new Dominion dudes a try. They look fun.
