Steve Hartmann (chompers) Tournament Report - 1E - Australian Continental 2013-07-05 - 03:00 PM Shiny Happy Orions Holding Hands Introduction Struggling to find a draw engine I decided to give Temporal shifting a go after reading tournament reports. Round 1 Ben Wynn FL (-90) Ben was playing TNG Feds. I got temporal shifting in opening hand and Ben had 3 cards left in hand after turn one. I played temporal shifting on him expecting it to shut him down but he discarded AU Tasha and drew four cards instead. After that we focused on playing the game and his dilemmas damaged the Enterprise E and destroyed a Vulcan Lander with most of my personnel aboard. Comfortable win to Ben 100-10 Round 2 Adam Sesperez FW (+60) Adam was playing TNG Romulans. He is a returning 1E player (from 10 years back) and has put a great draw deck together but is still working on dilemmas. I managed to get through his dilemmas and took the full win. I expect Adam will be a tougher opponent next time with some prep on his dilemmas. Round 3 Garry Dillon FW (+100) Garry was playing TNG Romulans. I played Temporal Shifting on him and emptied his hand. Further plays lost him three turns. He attempted a mission and hit firestorm killing most of his personnel. He cleared most of my dilemmas by the end of the game but lacked the skills to solve. Round 4 Ben Dillon FL (-50) Ben was playing Past Feds. I hit him with Artillery attack and killed seven leaving him with two people in play. I also got him with Linguistic Legerdeman and he got locked out for four turns on another mission. He cleared pretty much every dilemma but couldn't solve. Meanwhile I lost everyone to one of his combos and couldn't draw into the skills needed to take the win. Round 5  Smiley FL (-60)View opponent's ReportView original Report Mike was playing TNG Ferengi. He had a draw engine going early and my temporal shiftings did nothing to slow him down. As with other games skills gaps in my deck were a problem as Mike rolled home for the win. Steve was hamstrung by a bad draw, and having everyone stuck on one ship wasn't feasible. That said, Steve knows how to set up a dilemma combo. I'm worried about what this deck will do when it's perfected. Closing Thoughts Skill distribution in the deck is terrible - first up I will add several Obarakehs (security and computer skill).
