DS9Gq MotW 2 mission
Introduction
So, I tried reforming my last online tournament deck with some suggestions that Neil made. I used cure blight instead of explore extradimensional world, 3x Bashir and Minuet to save my key people. I took out some of the redundancy in the deck and tried to stream line it as much as possible.
Round 1Emily CoffeeFW (0)
Emily was new to the game and hadn't played in a tournament yet. She was running an all NA deck, but she got off to a slow start. I open handed quark -> zefram turn 1 and then proceeded to play all my ships on the cheap. I plugged away at my missions with tallera and distant explorations for an easy 50 points. I swapped ships and then went on to do the same at cure blight for a nice two mission win.
Round 2TNGKevin ReitzelFW (0)
Cadets... man that can be a tough deck. He got set up quick, as expected, while I'm out playing 2 personnel a turn. He doesn't realize I'm playing TT and burns a few of his O!NH! on dilemmas that I don't have. I make a key decision to go attempt my space mission without having gotten out the extra 10 points. He stacks several under because he's playing TT also, but doesn't manage to kill many thanks to bashir and an etu. He completes his cadet mission and hands me 5 (yay), then he goes back to earth to regroup. I finish my 45 point mission to put me at my even 50 and then start pinging away at cure blight. He realizes he needs to win because time will be called soon, so he goes all in for restore errant moon. His ship isn't staffed (no extra 10 for him this time), so I kill as many as possible and let him walk. On my turn, he's got 6 dilemmas under my cure blight. I pick my 6 and walk through it... this time for a full 50.

I honestly had never heard of this deck, but AC and kirk make playing TT a real pain. It didn't really matter though, as I didn't find TT or unexpected interruption until far too late in the game. It was terrible- I kept drawing doubles of dilemmas and getting a terrible mix of them. Somehow I managed to get enough of my people out and going that between kira, centaur, worf and ent-j I could walk through my attempts without much effort. I'm still not exactly sure how I won.
Round 4MaquisNathan MiracleML (0)View opponent's Report
I was having nightmarish visions of paying 4 for characters only to have to replay them. Luckily for me, it was nomaquis. Unluckily for me, he captured kira, bounced worf then discarded him, sloaned ent-j and then filtered honor to prevent me from completing my missions. Also, croden doesn't have security. Totally misread him. It's funny, because Nathan said the same thing. "Huh, I can't complete. No security." "What? Doesn't croden have security?" "Nah, he doesn't" "That's odd, you'd think he'd have it, given that picture." Anyhow, as we got down to time, he's multiteaming survey new world and I'm clawing away at cure blight. I make a bad play and instead of attempting with 3 teams of 6, I attempt with a team of 8 and a team of 9. The first one was a pseudo fake one, as I could complete if albino and kes sneak through, but the second team is the power house with bashir. The reason I didn't include a 9 in the other team was that nathan only had 4 people on the table. If I had attempted with AU ezri and she had gotten stopped, nathan would have had the people necessary to attempt/complete SNW, since there were already a good deal under it. So it goes to time in what would have been a photofinish by either one of us, given one more turn.
