Can confirm at least 2 non- [Rom] players in this gig.

Better question: is ANYONE making the obvious move and playing Klingon Riker? Or have we all collectively forgotten just how dominant that deck was in 2004?

Can confirm at least 5 non-Klingon Riker decks in this gig so far, which is extra funny since I set the over/under for Klingon Riker decks in this event at 4.5 when I was texting with @jadziadax8 a few weeks ago. Good thing nobody took me up on that line! :P

I’m trying to. But yeah I think maybe using HoF card pool should be considered next time for this event to help with that.

I was going to play Infiltration with a side of engagement.

Good game, Sir! :cheersL:

Got lucky with the coin toss, but I'll take it!

This was a really fun event. Big props to @tjark , @Psionic Hobo , and of course, @The Ninja Scot for 3 really fun games!

And thanks to @jadziadax8 for running this gig. I missed the 2004 RTFP event when I ran the series in 2020 so I appreciate the opportunity to dive back in this pool of nostalgia.

Now that I've won with my Classic Romulan Tillman deck, I'm announcing its formal retirement. It had a hell of a career back in the day, and it's been fun to pull out for these Throwback tournaments, but unlike Tom Brady, this deck is riding off into the sunset as a champion.

Besides, if we do more of these things, I have some other classic decks that I'd love to dust off. Or maybe try something "new" ... like Klingon Riker! :shifty:

When I read the description of this gig and Maggie's stipulations, I immediately wondered how many participants would just run Riker / Sword with Relentless, as the Render Assistance's could fuel it. Hell, that's what I would have played.

I didn't want to make the deck bigger.
