Joshua Sheets (prylardurden) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2011-09-17 - 02:00 PM My Son, We're Pilgrims In An Unholy Land. Or Not. There Is No Land. Only Space. Introduction I have been wanting to try this for a while and, with the release of Tacking and Repair Null Space Catapult, I figured now was the time to try it - Klingon DQ Long Journey Home. I now have 4 DQ Dip Space missions so I can use Alex. I throw in Guidance of the Council to help get him out early, plan on getting Energize and Surprise Party with him and use Ohhhh! to clear out iffy dilemmas that I dont like. Then when I realized it was around 70 cards, I added about 10 more to try for Euro Style (in hind sight, bad idea). The night before the tourney, I toyed with the idea of using the 18 Voyager icon ships, Finding Our Way to guarantee B2B working at least once per turn. I did decide against that. So with deck in tow, I headed out to the tourny (Tribbles would be first). Round 1 James Booker MW (-20) James came down from Cleveland to play in this event. My deck comes out fairly quickly but I cant seem to find a ship for anything. When I finally do, its the D7 and I cant play it (not enough Past Guys). So I get held up getting out. I finally do get out to missions and get thru 2 missions before time is called. James got stuck using the wrong ship and didnt get all of his bonus points so I get the modified win. Round 2 BRADLEY DAVID EIER ML (+40) This game, the deck decided I wasnt going to get anything useful for the first 4 turns (turns 3 and 4 spent drawing a lot of cards). Brad goes out to his first mission with Movie Kirk in effect and all 4 cost personnel. My dilemma draw goes something like Random, Random, Wrong Icon, Wrong Icon, Random, Random, Timescape. yea, that doesnt help. I Mach for an Oracles Choice as the only thing that might work. It does, but he plays Chekov and Kirk again the next turn and my draw is about the same (no Mach on table this time) and he walks thru the mission. The second mission goes much better but he is stopping me with 1 dilemma each time (of all the cards i added, BOT wasn't any of them. Oops). He gets his second mission before time is called, and I get one last turn. I get thru a second mission but get hard-stopped at the third. Ballgame, mod win to Brad. Round 3 Chris Jones MW (-30) I get the DQ ship in opening hand (always nice) and get out fairly fast. I get thru Inversion mystery on the second attempt and almost get thru RNSC that same turn. Chris gets thru two missions and starts working on his third. I get thru mission 3 start on 4. Im getting concerned that I haven't seen a Kes yet (need her to win) but I have Neelix, Tuvix and TLJH in hand. Time gets called on Chris' turn (he went first so if I stop him I get a shot at it). I bring the house on his last attempt and stop him. I now know that I have to draw Kes and it has to be in the first 2. Draw 1, ship. Draw 2, ETU. At this point, I know that I cant get a full win and already have the Mod Win (90-70). I ask Chris if he wants to play it out and says sure. I send 3 different attempts and IAD and the third team gets thru. I now have 125 points, 4 missions done and still cant win. Thats the end of it. Kes was 3 cards from the bottom of the deck.
