Kris Sonsteby (LORE) Tournament Report - 1E 2016-08-20 - 02:30 PM Everything Old Can be Made New Again... Like Democracy Introduction A "casual" summer gig to keep the fires lit leading up to Worlds. Round 1 Jason Tang FW (+40) JTG was running Dominion GQ / AQ trying to only solve planet missions. He picked up a Starry Night in the GQ by clearing FS -> Den -> FF in one go, then made his way to the AQ. I had solved a mission, but changed gears to reporting dudes near the Baj Wormhole, including breaking my play engine by s/d R'Mor to staff the Deranas and fire on his Warship. This forced him back to the GQ for repairs, where he eventually lost 2 ships to Gomtuu in space. He couldn't recover in time from that. FW 100-60. Round 2 Justin Kaufman FW (+65) Crimson was trying out Illegitimate TNG Klingon, but was penned into one side of the spaceline due to duplicated missions. With Dead End, FLI/RAGS, and an Edo Probe locking him down, I nuked the Vorn on his side while chipping away at missions down on my end. Shortly after he sailed through his OP mission to get on the board, I blasted through Free Orion Slaves and my OP mission to win it. FW 100-35. Round 3 Ben Johnson FW (+100) Mankind was dealing Enterprise E / Son'a, and clogged up the middle of the spaceline with one giant region. Working in tandem on both ends, I drilled own to A Bad End needing 2 Bio at Covert Installation. Creating a Defiant Dedication Plaque enfused caravan, I pulled them across the region and nuked a damaged Akira in the process after Ben was tagged by Gomtuu. This proved the difference, as while he was rebuilding I solved two missions and hopped a Dead End to win it. FW 100-0. Closing Thoughts I had hoped to see how this deck would do against The Flavor of the Month that is KCA / Terran Empire, as well as run it into a few QI's, but that never materialized. The deck is still solid, but I still don't know how it will do against what I had hoped to face.
