Five Fever, Front Line Winner |
Introduction |
I was playing a version of my DS9 Tongo deck. |
|
Round 1 | | Tjark Ott | FW (+65) |
Tjark was playing a Klingon sword deck. A Bridge Officer's Test busted my Captain's Holiday at his first mission. I learned from my mistakes and quickly Holding Cell'd Riker. I proceeded to exploit his lack of skills, hitting him 2 more times with Captain's Holiday and twice with Infinite Diversity (thanks to Shran). I mostly remember my dilemma plays. With plenty of Tongo points, I think I eventually overwhelmed him with double and triple teaming to complete two missions to win, FW: 100-35. |

Round 2 | | Tyler Fultz | FL (-100) |
So Tyler and I tried to play the week beforehand, but the Lackey servers were down. I tried to play on a different computer because I thought it was my fault, so I sent myself the decklist. Unfortunately, the file was empty. Either I sent the wrong one or the .dek files don't transfer. Anyways, I had to build the deck 'from memory' the morning we played. In my haste, I forgot to include Leeta and Rom -- which ended up having a profound effect. Tyler was playing Borg assimilation. I was very happy because I wanted to see how this deck could do against a top tier deck and a top tier opponent. Well, my opening hand was 2 Tongos, 2 AWC?, Jadzia, Croden, and Bejal. No bad, I thought. I just need to find one of my other Ferengi and I'll be good go go. Over the next few turns I proceeded to draw all my point using cards (3rd AWC, Whatley, IAMD), my third Tongo, 4 of my 5 ships, but no other Ferengi. A lot of time I spent drawing and discarding as I wasn't about to get myself assimilated so soon. I felt Ok, since while Tyler was building up his core, he wasn't any closer to solving a mission. I figured I just needed to wait, get my strat set up, and hopefully Dreamer his interrupts, and I'd be fine. Well, on his first attempt I stopped him without stacking any under. However, on his second attempt, I drew nothing I could really play. My best bet to stop him included a Temptation. I think I managed to pull Locutus and the Queen, giving him 10 points and leaving him just enough attributes to solve and assimilate the Data I had to discard. I was beginning to give up hope, so I said 'screw it, maybe I'll get lucky' and went to my mission -- again before I could draw into my Medical Teams. Seriously every card I needed must've been on the bottom of my deck. Anyways, he consumes an ACE, kills some more, and nails me with Tsiolovsky. I ended up not attempting a mission the rest of the game. I held him off on Assess Contamination, probably longer than I should have. I stone cold gave him zero dilemmas on his first attempt, believing he needed to bring in Anthro with the Queen. I was right! I thought I could've had a chance when he left Two of Nine out and I played Holding Cell on him. Too bad he had an Amanda Rogers in his hand -- nicely done! He then proceeded to K&E three times at Assess, and grab a bunch of bonus points from EtC and recurring OwtB thanks to Three of Nine. I would've liked to get my deck working to see how it played out. FL: 0-100. |

Round 3 | | Ben Hosp | FW (+40) |
Ben was playing holograms. I knew his big trick was Cluttering, so a Quark downloaded Holding Cell gave me a lot of breathing room with my more skill-based pile. It worked well. I got him with Whispers, Gomtuu and D&W. Meanwhile, I got my Tongos set up quickly and was generating a ton of bonus points. That meant I only needed to solve two missions. A bad play on my first mission attempt when I could've used Kirk to solve cost me. I ended up wasting 2-3 turns because of it. A nice Hard Time pull of Data from him, kept me from squeaking under both missions a few times. Data is pretty huge at Fulfill Temporal Paradox. Anyways, I eventually won, giving him some free Tongo points early while I was setting up Adami. FW: 100-55. |
