Johannes Klarhauser (Kaiser) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2012-01-22 - 12:15 PM Habak-e-bake-kuchen Introduction This deck was built sloppily and only "finished" right before the tournament, and is much too unfocussed to be effective at anything. It was basically just the old stall/annoy Maquis, with the non-Maquis personnel taken out and replaced by the new Unity Maquis and their event shenanigans, rounded out by Shankar, Organized Terrorist Activities (which I never used), and all the DMZ missions. Oh, and the dilemma pile was taken from another deck and was not really geared towards supporting the draw deck. Round 1 Flo MW (+80) This was the first time Flo had built a deck of his own, and also the first time he ran into Maquis. I was slow building up, but I drew into most of my annoying stuff early on. I used Cascade Virus on George Primmin, Stalling for Time on William Ross, and Alarming Rumors twice against Holding Cell. Also, I was able to nail Practice Orbital Maneuvers shut with two copies of Outmaneuvered, so Flo was forced to go to Eliminate Sphere Network. With the Defiant and Reide out and doing their thing, I was finally able to go out and complete my space for 45 points on my third attempt (after I had beaten Flo's An Issue of Trust/Gomtuu Shock Wave combo on my first attempt, but didn't have the mission skills yet).Meanwhile Flo was stopped with one under at Eliminate. He changed to Avert Danger then, where I massively overplayed, thinking an Accelerated Aging/Mugato/The Dal'rok would hit, but I missed a Security personnel in my count and put three under (though the AA still locked the mission on its own). In the end I was able to bully my way through a planet mission using the For The Cause requirements. MW, 80-0. Round 2 Tobias Rausmann ML (-35) Tobias was playing Klingon Council Killers, and since I didn't have Quinn or Desperate Sacrifice, all I could do was try and play enough personnel until I had both the Defiant and the Cosette fully staffed and at Range 10 to fly to a space mission and back home in one turn. Unfortunately, the personnel I need to do that (Thomas Riker to boost the range of the Defiant) was hiding in the bottom 15 cards of sixty-ish deck and I had to either watch Tobias solve missions (I stopped his first attempt in space with An Issue of Trust), or attempt myself and allow the Klingons to kill even more people and score additional points to go round the corner. With Tobias already up one mission, I went out and lost six people to dilemmas, and my ship and three more personnel to Kruge. I was able to auto-complete the mission later with the Cosette for 40 points, but that was all I could do. After a miscalculated Rogue Borg Ambush on my part that gave Tobias his planet mission for free, at least my dilemmas at his third mission were strong enough to keep Tobias from completing it (this time, he miscalculated when he used Bridge Officers Test, but after I had picked his Worf to die, he was one Integrity short of the mission requirements. ML, 40-75 Round 3 Markus Eberlein FW (+65) Markus was unfamiliar with the Borg Dissident deck I had built for him and forgot to use Unyielding a couple of times, but his dilemma plays were dead solid and stopped with only one under each time for several turns. We both took a long time before we were through our space missions, but then the game finally turned in my favour when his Unfair Terms whiffed at one of my planet missions, and Wakasa cheated himself and Ro Laren past An Issue of Trust on the other one. FW, 100-35
