Michael Van Breemen (The Ninja Scot) Tournament Report - 2E - Online Event 2013-12-09 - 12:00 AM VDeck Introduction Queen-less Borg Round 1 Oliver Thust FW (+25) The dilemma pile did what it was supposed to do - Three stops in a row in space with Tactical Disadvantage but I didn't think about how to get more than 1/3rd my deck in the discard pile once I got a bunch of people into play. Thankfully my Unyielding got destroyed so that I could use Back to Basics. I used Assimilate Resistance on Kirk to one-solve Salvage Borg Ship (K&E on the first dilemma, Kirk on the second.) His Coordinated Counterattack meant that I had to get real Biology and Exobiology into play which gave him time to catch up but I won a turn before he could. Round 2 Daniel Matteson FL (-100) Draw deck and dilemma pile in this game did not work together... as did my stupid play at Aid Legendary Civilization. He attempts with a pumped up Dukat, Spock and four other 6 cunning people and I'm fairly certain that with just a Hard Time, I could either pick off Dukat, Spock or mission skills so that he couldn't solve... So he solves the mission because my random selection skills suck, placing six people under my deck. Meanwhile, I can't draw a second ship so that I know that my Tacticals work. Of course, the next attempt is in space (which is when I drew my Necessary Execution naturally.) Eventually I draw into At What Cost/Annexation drones to rebuild my people quickly but still no second ship (you would think that with 6 ships in a 42 card deck and with the drone that lets you look at the top four cards of your deck that you could find something...) I attempt Assimilate Resistance with 6 and there's 5 under. He top-decks Pitching In which is where my points come from. He solves Find Lifeless World because I can't stop him with a too-small discard pile for my two Back to Basics (thanks First-turn Dukat), three Tactical Disadvantages, Polywater and Hard Time. Round 3 Amber Van Breemen FW (+30) Dilemma pile did its job and knowing her deck so well didn't hurt matters either. Round 4 Tjark Ott FW (+70) Round 5 Kris Sonsteby FL (-35)View opponent's ReportView original Report The People's Champ was attempting Queen-less Borg, but was slowed to a crawl thanks to Infinite Diversity and recurring Dignitaries & Witnesses. With Maras eliminating death threats and Helen Noel chewing up his dilemma pile, I finally broke free at Transport Crash Survivors once he burned his final Back to Basics. FW 100-65.
