Jason Tang (PantsOfTheTalShiar) Tournament Report - 1E 2019-05-25 - 10:30 AM Dominion/Cardassian Labor Camp 1.1 Introduction After some stupid mistakes cost me the first three games of the online regional, I tweaked the deck ever so slightly and gave it another shot to see if I could finally play it right. Round 1 Robert Petersen FW (+60) The seed phase was amusing. Hobie seeds Earth early, and I'm thinking that I get yet another Fed opponent after having played three Fed players in a row in the online regional. Halfway through deciding where my combos should go, it hits me: "Oh wait, you're playing Borg." Hobie seeded his Transwarp Gateway in the AQ, probably thinking that I would eventually seed Bajoran Wormhole. Nope! Hobie seeds six dilemmas under Internment Operations, so clearly I attempt Chart Stellar Cluster. I lose a ship to a Disgraceful Assault combo (something I should play around better), but get 15 points from Cytherians. Hobie Stops First Contact, banishing my dead Ayala from this timeline. I have enough SECURITY to nullify Undetected Beam-In on a planet, and soon get the solve for the win thanks to my bonus points. Round 2 Justin Kaufman FW (+35) Thanks to a little luck and Dr. Farek, I clear Chart Stellar Cluster on the first attempt (turn 2 or 3), but I still need 2 turns to assemble the requirements. Justin is attempting early, too, getting me a quick prisoner. When he attempts a space mission near my wormhole mission, he fails Gomtuu Shockwave. I send a ship over to to finish it off. Rock People stops me stone cold at Covert Installation II, so I head to Save Stranded Crew and work through a Med Crisis for the win with the help of 30 Labor Camp points. Round 3 Bye BY (0) I tried FFG's Burrito Americano special. It was basically chili and rice in a tortilla, which was fine, but I think it really needed cheese to bring it all together. It was nice that the tortilla was fresh off the griddle, though. Closing Thoughts A little more experience helped me play this deck better than in the online regional, which I plan to report on at some point. I did gain a big advantage from my opponents not knowing what I was up to. It's a fun deck, and I'd like to try some different dilemmas with it at some point.
