Maybe we can arrange an exhibition match.

In a crazy one, FW (by double deck out) for Kris over Jarrod 30-0. Thanks for the match!

Cool event, thank you for running it @pfti . I guess imho, the only thing we should change is toss out Voyager and TMP packs from the random packs we can get. Both sets have exceedingly powerful dilemmas in Warp Speed (The Cloud and Kazon Bomb are just two of those I ran into) to say nothing of Assign Mission Specialists, Transport Inhibitor, etc. Maybe to balance it out, we throw First Contact out the window too, just due to being largely unplayable? Otherwise, I thought it was a super fun gig. Kudos to all who played!

Any time you mix Enhanced Premiere with non-PAQ packs there's a chance things go sideways.

Years ago we did EPP + Mirror, Mirror because that's what we had available, and even that created lockout situations, as getting past Emergency Conversion turned out to not be a guarantee, and with it being a common, more than one person pulled it.

That's one reason (though not the only one, schedule is a thing too) I decided to sit this one out. While I like the theory of a Sealed Deck Regional, I'm not sure this iteration is the best way to execute the concept.
Hopefully everybody that did play had fun though.

[Professor Scott]

In fairness, we were not supposed to get EPP, we were supposed to get SD2 according to the tournament page.

Just played Mathew… crazy game that ended in a TT 20-20! Cheers for the game!

A little bit more about my pool:
I got 29 personnel I could use (so not including ).
11 of them (38%) were Mission Specialists with these super-helpful skills:
• 3x Youth
• 6x Honor
• 2x Treachery

My pool had an average Personnel skill density of 2.07.
4 of those Specialist were left in the binder because their classification didn't contribute anything helpful. This raised the skill density of played Personnel up to 2.25.

If you excluded just 4 cards (Jean-Luc and Beverly, Kurak, Salia, and Sharat), my pool's skill density drops to 1.68. (It also would make Impassable Door live up to its name against my pool.) So, if these 4 cards are at the bottom of the deck, it's going to take a long long time to get anything done. Those 4 cards account for 18 out of 60 in the pool (30%).

Out of 60 , 9x Honor, 6x Treachery, 5x Youth. ¹⁄₃ of the skills were one of these three useless skills. 3x Treachery and 2x Youth were left in the binder. All of the Honor were needed for their classification, , or other skills.

4 ENGINEER total in the pool (one of which was MS Linda Larson [Youth] and another an Exocomp [with no real skill], so super useful ENGINEERs all around), and no way to get more via equipment or the like. The other 2 ENGINEER were via Support Personnel Anara and Temo'Zuma.

My pool had only 2 Personnel. Staffing a ship was basically out of the question.

My pool had 2 different versions of Deanna Troi, so there were at least 2 lost there.

My pool had 2 copies of a Unique Mission Specialist (Korris). His was too useful to leave out. He accounted for 2 out of 7 in my pool.

My pool had 9 ships, all different. The I.K.C. Vor'Cha and T'Ong saw action every game and were the most useful. The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship, Flaxian Scout, Yridian Shuttle, and Mercenary Ship were binder fodder due to near impossibility of staffing them.

Scow, Spatial Rift, and Impassable Door(!) could very well lock me out for an entire game all on their own, depending on the opening deck shuffle. And I saw all of them.

[The Ninja Scot]

41 personnel (16 Feds, 8 were mission specialists, 5 had two skills), (9 Klingons, 6 were mission specialists, 2 had two skills) (5 Romulans, 4 were mission specialists), (6 Non-aligned, 1 were mission specialist, 4 had two skills), the others were of different affiliations and all had three or more skills)

11/41 had 3 or more skills - over 26%
