Maggie Geppert (jadziadax8) Tournament Report - 2E 2019-01-27 - 12:00 PM Welcome to the New Mirror Universe Introduction I wanted to see how the new KCA HQ shakes out. I threw in one of pretty much everything to see how it all works. I also included the "Common" cards from Strange Bedfellows, since I had 5 different affiliations in the deck. The dilemma pile is built to jive with multiple affiliations and take down interrupts. Round 1 Al Schaefer ML (-30)View opponent's ReportView original Report I was worried about this matchup as soon as I saw Betazed, because my dilemma pile isn't that big and milling would soon become a problem. I started with Bareil and Gint in hand. I think I drew into Brunt early and used him to get Sisko, whose presence discounts both Bareil and Gint. This gave me extra counters. I drew into Common Purpose, but didn't get those extra counters because of Al's Our Death Is Glory to the Founders. That's alright, because on his next attempt, I used Swashbuckler to put another one of those on his draw deck, then triggered off those interrupts to stop folks with Reflections. Good times! However, his dilemmas slowed me down and I never really got off the ground. Maggie was playing all the new AU personnel and had a pretty slick dilemma pile to match which really hit my interrupts early in the game. I had a terrible time trying to get any dilemmas out of play, Damar was the ONLY card that showed up to get a dilemma to go away until very late in the game. I missed an opportunity to de-staff her NA Defiant using Weyoun, but I think she could have staffed a Cardassian ship again pretty easily. I needed just one more attempt to complete Betazed but time was called and I didn't get the chance. Round 2 Brian Leonard FW (+85) I hit Janeway with The Weak Will Perish. Oh well. I also Round 3 Eric Bieche ML (-30) Eric's Androids were definitely a bad matchup for my dilemma pile. He had Ira Graves out early protecting everyone. I was very limited in who I could pick for stops and kills, especially since he also had Shran out. *sigh* Closing Thoughts Swashbuckler + Reflections is the bomb-diggity in KCA. However, KCA needs more support to be a competitive affiliation. Killing off humans is an intriguing theme, but the deck definitely needs to be better tailored to it. I never once used Psychotic Impulse or Racial Disdain.
