Edward Pigman (jindrak) Tournament Report - 2E 2014-09-28 - 12:00 PM Hologrizzles Introduction Holograms take two! Let's never mention take one, ok? So yeah, I've wanted to run 'grams since the Children of the Light team came out, but was lazy for the longest time. I paired it up with a Chula pile..because it was all I had built. See above: lazy. Didn't expect to wreck shop, but wanted to get a feel for how the deck developed and played. Round 1 Michael Moskop ML (-5)View opponent's ReportView original Report Ugh, My pile could hold off his guys, and the small size of the pile made sure I got my Games, but Mike was running multiple of AIoT and guess what? Deleted subroutines does $^&%^&% against it. First cut card of the day. Basically, I flew around, getting stopped by dilemmas that stop me cold (Intimidation, Issue/trust) and Mike flew around, making a mess and playing Chula. He ended up the victor via MW- the "ple-thor-a" of double treach Fed holos kept a decent amount of 8472 out of my core. Ed was playing holograms with the Olarra. That made for a problem because he had a lot of Treachery x2 guys and was able to prevent Dubious Decoy from going into the core. Luckily, my Founder infilrators kept him at a snail's pace and forced the game to time. I had both of the 8472 missions completed for 70 points while he only had 65 from his two DQ missions. Round 2 Justin Eaton FW (+100) First time meeting Justin, and we talked old school Transformers, so he's cooler than almost everyone else in our play group automatically. I think he got some cold cards- small deck and still none of his personnel downloads appeared. I played an unmemorable game on my side, standard fair, but no play mistakes, so yeah, go me. Round 3 Al Schaefer MW (0)View opponent's ReportView original Report Heartbreaker this one! First mission took a while to get going, and ended up with a Game and Clown on it. Al went shopping for an easier opportunity elsewhere and I was cornered into some plays that I had no good answer for: secret ID 100% had to take Data out, but Kirk appeared and nix'ed my Game. ONH! took out my last Game, so I ended up way overloading to stop his teams. Thank goodness for the original mission with my initial Game, or this one would have been over. Ed was playing a Hologram build and I was frustrated early when my Games still decided not to show. Ed cheated around 2 of my 8-costers with Cluttering Irrelevancies, which was no surprise, but I just felt like I couldn't catch a break today. I played some guys and solved 2 planet missions, but an early Clown Go Away, forced me away from my first space mission and I had a chance to solve for the win, but Ed's Chula pile actually did what it was supposed to do, and I came up short in overtime. Closing Thoughts Decent outing now that I built the deck properly. Would really like to see an HQ where all Holos can play without having to chill at Athos IV. Also, would love to see some more universal NA holos from the background characters on the Olarra. Borg holo please! Oh and Al's daughter is the cutest thing I have seen in a long, long time! Yay Babies!
