Steve Hartmann (chompers) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2011-06-26 - 11:45 AM Discard pile mischief Version III Introduction Last chance to get my deck right before Nationals. Made some changes by adding personnel that cost 4 or more with Physics and Geology (T'Pau having both was great). Round 1 Peter Hill FW (0) Pete was playing Borg. Peter is often a hard matchup ofr me because he used Distress Call, Outclassed, Breaking the Ice and We'll Never Know effectively. I only get past these with the right skill gaining in my discard pile or Bridge Officers Test (which is often hard to pull of as I have to gain a heap of skills before triggering it). In the end the pieces fell in place today and I got the full win. Round 2 Kieren FL (0) On my first mission attempt vs Kieren I got a little too excited and killed a heap of cheap personnel to gain skills and attributes to get past Gomtuu whilst thinking I had Tahna Los in play. He wasn't .. he was in my discard pile and I never recovered. Made a mental note at this point ... must concentrate harder at Continentals (no mistakes). Round 3 Scott Newsome FW (0) Scott had never faced my deck before and is a little behind on the latest cards. In the end he had no answers for all the skill and attributes gains. Round 4 Daniel Waller FW (0) Daniel is a smart dilemma player and often slows me down .. our games often go to time. This time I mamaged to bust through the dilemmas and get the full win.
