Terok NorNor by Northwest
Introduction
Lineage release tournament. Had to include at least 10 cards from Lineage. I wanted to see how the mission Penetrate Enemy Lines might contribute to a Terok Nor deck in place of Kressari Rendezvous - it's relatively easy, has an interesting bonus when you solve, and is immune to Insurrection.

Round 1DominionTyler FultzFL (-100)
Tyler played a beastly Dominion infiltrator deck, two-mission win with bonus points from Tenak'talar. To be honest, it psyched me out and slowed me down more than it really should have, but it was genuinely effective as well. My dilemmas performed decently, but his infiltration tricks (kudos for stealing a cloaking device and using to Cloak-and-Dagger Tenak'talar around!) plus a slow start for my deck meant I got nothing done. No missions solved for me, and full win for Tyler in his final turn after time was called.

Round 2TNGJim SharpFL (0)
I probably could have won this game - I made it to 90 points on my own, yet couldn't close the deal. Jim was playing a self-described flawed two-mission win Cadet deck, but it still did pretty well. I held him a good while at his planet mission, but by that time in the game, he had so many resources out that I couldn't stop him when he went for Practice Orbital Maneuvers. So, Full Win to Jim in his final turn after time was called, but at least I solved a couple missions myself this time.

Round 3DS9-EarthJustin BeishFW (+65)
The one game of the day where I went first. Justin is player, and was using a kind of generic DS9 Earth solver someone (Tyler or Jim?) lent him. He's still learning the game. Only deck I saw today that wasn't built around a ton of 40 point missions / the two-mission win goal. Justin solved one mission before I got the FW.

Round 4TOSJeff BrubakerFW (+100)
Jeff was using Vulcan-themed deck, aiming for two-mission win with big missions plus Enterprise-A and Tallera for bonus points. I think Jeff is also a newer player, and was borrowing this deck (again, I think maybe it was Jim's?). He kept switching what mission he was attempting, which meant he put a couple under three different missions but never made serious progress anywhere. FW for me.
