Paddy Tye (KazonPADD) Tournament Report - 1E Sealed - Online Event 2011-06-15 - 01:00 AM Wesley helps get some points (Fed/Rom Sealed) Introduction Round 1 Ben Hosp FW (+65) This came down to a battle of 2 powerful cards - my Borg Ship dilemma vs Ben's Time Travel Pod. My Shaka dilemma Conbo delayed Ben getting to his TTP and allowed me time to get into a lead. Eventually he got it. I tried to use STP to get out of it (could re-report crew due to Ben's Red Alert and a closed Spacedoor) but that returned it to hand for him to re-use. While I was stuck for 5 turns, Ben hit my Borg Ship. Once my wait was over, picked up the last mission I needed for the win. Round 2 Greg Dillon FW (+85) Lot of mission sharing - 8 mission spaceline! Won 85-0 by Double deck out. Greg's deck felt like a mirror of my own in some ways. He used Ajur to clear some dilemmas and had the Diplomacy to handle my Shaka and Q-Net. Scanning meant he avoided my Borg Ship, but then lost most of his personnel to his own Firestorm at a shared mission, preventing him from completing his missions. I stole one of our shared missions after Greg had cleared out all the dilemmas, but Fair Play prevented Greg doing the same on one of my missions he hadn't seeded too. In the end, I fell victim to Greg's own Borg Ship (I should've waited to repair my Husnock ship, but decided to take a gamble) but Greg had lost too many people to dilemmas, so ended in a double deck out. Round 3 Mark FW (+90)View opponent's ReportView original Report Lost my notes from this one, but Mark played a 3 treaties deck with Traveller and Red Alert for a smackdown to attempt missions. Fortunately, my dilemma combos managed to kill enough vital people to lock him out of his missions and let me pick up the win. vs KazonPADD. I made a minor change to my deck, I swapped out Eyes In The Dark for Anti-Time Anomaly. I got The Traveler: Transcendence in my opening hand, which was good. Then I got the Treaties fairly early, so was using my card plays for the Events. KazonPADD was busy getting his personnel out. Thine Own Self removed a redshirting attempt by his Ajur and Palteth. One Red Alert was right at the bottom of my deck, the other was about 10 cards from the bottom, next to the Anti-Time Anomaly. Byt he time I got those, KazonPADD had completed two missions, so I didn't think it was worth waiting three extra turns for Anti-Time Anomaly to hit. I played Red Alert, and next turn dropped a large part of a pretty big hand onto the table. For the second time this tourney, I tried Investigate Anomaly with the Holograms losing to Iconian Computer Weapon, then the rest of the folk getting through the other dilemmas. I should have done it the other way round, of course, as I lost Reflection Therapy to the ICW, hampering me later, and this time Investigate Anomaly was stolen. So I moved to the next mission, Save Stranded Crew, which killed Vina (so I couldn't complete the mission with Reflection Therapy discarded), then I moved to Romulus where, due to some nicely targeted dilemmas, I lost folk to the point where I couldn't pass Shaka, When The Walls Fell. At this point, I'd also lost too many SCIENCE to be able to pass Warped Space, so I couldn't even beat the first dilemma: Armus Energy Field. So at the end of the game, despite clearing two missions and most of a third, I ended up with only 10 points: scored from my 2 copies of REM Fatigue Hallucinations. KazonPADD was also struggling a little towards the end, he'd saved his non-shared missions for the end. With Ajur back in the picture he discarded 2 dilemmas from under Excavation (including El-Adrel Creature), had Tebok and Taitt whisked away to Romulus by their Love Interests, got briefly stopped by Malfunctioning Door until some stronger people showed up, and was not affected at all by Impassable Door. He then completed the mission for the win. Final score: him 115, me 10. Round 4 J FW (+10) Last match in the tournament and J was playing a battle deck. Lots of ships and leaders and it meant I struggled to complete many missions as although I returned one crew to hand with STP to prevent them being blown up by J, I didn't have a Red Alert to get them out again quickly! Ended 60-50 via double deck out. Thank god for my dilemmas!
