Nicholas Yankovec (nickyank) Tournament Report - 2E - Omarion Nebula Regional 2014-04-12 - 12:00 PM Return to Quonos Introduction After a long debate, I decided on breaking out the good old Klingon Solver, now updated to include a few cards from Return to Grace. There should have been 6 of us, but Steve Upton pulled out because of a quiz related injury. We still had a Round Robin, with 5 rounds. Round 1 Bye BY (0) The first round Bye... I prepared the sandwiches for lunch. Round 2 Doug Hughes FW (+80)View opponent's ReportView original Report Doug had broken out his very old Romulan deck... He had Hiren and P&P out first turn, but he couldn't match my speed, especially once he'd been hit with a WNOHGB. Although I did struggle to get a ship to start, especially when he PandP'd my first ship to the bottom of my deck... Full Win! Off to a good start. I think I recognize this deck (and the smooth way it walks through these dilemmas). Round 3 William Hoskin FW (+60) Will was playing an experimental/achievement deck, taking advantage of Pawn against Pawn and Unwanted Guests. A really good dilemma pile, but hampered by the draw deck that was bloated for the achievements. A BOT at my last mission gave me the win. Second FW of the day. Round 4 Unjustly Banned FW (+35) James was playing a Bajoran micro-teaming deck, combined with Favor the Bold to allow him to attempt and complete an easy Planet mission twice, which he could complete with 3 personnel. Another good deck, but my dilemmas and support managed to hold him off long enough for me to complete my three missions. My third FW in a row. At this point both myself and Matt were undefeated, James was 2-2, and Will and Doug had yet to win a game. Round 5 Mr Slade FW (+30) Matt's mirror Starfleet deck was awesome. Very fast. He'd managed to complete his first mission the first attempt, as I found out he was also playing an Unfair Comparrison dilemma pile. Next turn he was 2 missions ahead. I managed to pull through next turn, completing my first mission then solving the next before heading to Brute Force where I was stopped by one dilemma, Unfair Comparisson (20 vs 19 damn it). I stopped him his next turn with help from Endagered, then completed the next turn for the win and the tournament, giving me a Bye to the Europeans. Closing Thoughts What a great tournament, not least cause I won, yay. Klingons are still great, at least in our meta. The new Bajoran deck James played is full of potential, I was lucky. I think I'm going to have to reconsider an Unfair Comparrison dilemma pile in future; you have to be lucky with micro teaming.
