Steve Hartmann (chompers) Tournament Report - 2E 2013-08-11 - 11:45 AM House of Duras Introduction Treachery Klingons with a splash of non aligned treachery personnel. No good guys here. Round 1 Jay Coad FW (0) Jay didn;t have the best start even after using Find Lifeless World. I attempted my first mission on turn four and solved first attempt giving me a big head start. Jay successfully got me with a Dreamer and I lost all my battle cards forcing me to focus on my solving stategy. I got the Sword out following my second mission solve making the third an easy solve. Round 2 Craig Giblett FW (0) Craig got off to a great start getting his 5 point engine running and lots of events to fuel the 8 cost dilemmas which my deck had little answer for. When Craig attempted his first mission I got a Gomtuu on him and sent the Ning-tao in for the kill. Craig lost a lot of personnel but I was losing a lot to dilemmas. Craig finished with 35 points and no missions solved and a heap of dilemmas under each mission. If he had some luck he could have easily Power Shifted and solved two missions in one turn for the win. Game was my closest of the day. Round 3 Kieren FW (0) Kieren also playing Romulans got off to a good start but his 5 point engine stalled as I kept revealing non-personnel from the top of my deck. Each time he got 5 he used At What Cost (he used all three in the game) and dumped a heap of personnel. I managed to get him with a Gomtuu on his first attempt but hadn't solved a mission (losing heaps of personnel to 8 cost killers). I was able to send two ships across and blow him up (I had no points to trigger Ning-tao). After that Kieren spent the rest of the game rebuilding unable to replace mission requirements. Round 4 Peter Hill FW (0) Pete got off to a great start and attempted space before I could get going. I hit him with a Gomtuu and The Clown Go Away but had no battle options setup at the time. He decided to attempt planet and I managed to draw into Necessary Execution killing off Locutus and the Queen. He went back to space and attempted with 6 next turn and I hit him with two kills leaving him with 4. Next up I drew Toral and downloaded Kruge enabling me to take his ship and 4 captives. After that I had a big lead that Pete was unable to regain. Closing Thoughts I built this deck in 5 minutes and it was very easy to play. My opponents exploited some of its weaknesses (AIoT, Gomtuu, 8 cost killers), but that did little to slow the deck down. I don't play Klingons often but having done so my impression is they are easy to play and require little skill. Happy to pack this deck up and move on to something new and more interesting.
