Kris Sonsteby (LORE) Tournament Report - 2E - Peldor Gratitude Festival 2017-01-01 - 10:30 AM People Helping People... Its Powerful Stuff Introduction Charity draft 2016 saw me randomly assigning myself Dominion, and while I expected to get hosed by the lack of 1-costers I somehow made victors outta the dinosaurs by connecting with Aggressive Behavior in every game. But in truth, the real winners are the families we support annually. Round 1 Brian Ganas FW (+35) The German Suplex Machine was testing TNG, and had me on the ropes as he worked through his first planet fairly quickly. Stopping Davies to prevent a solve at Geo Survey twice bought me the time to crawl back in it and I won at the wire. FW 100-65. Round 2 Barry Windschitl FW (+35) The Genius was running the only other CtA starter in the field, and like his predecessor found an Aggressive Behavior in space early. That loss of range set the tone for the match, as he narrowly solved his second mission right before I earned a walk off at Escape Gulag. FW 100-65. Round 3 Steve Nelson FW (+100) The Full Nelson was also administering TNG, but struggled to find a ship for the first 5 or 6 turns. Once he finally got rolling, I blasted him with an Aggressive Behavior combo that sent 3 personnel to his hand or discard pile and that singular attempt effectively sealed his fate. FW 100-0. Closing Thoughts Thanks as always to everyone who came out to support In the Spirit Prison Ministries' family outreach program at the 10th annual charity draft, especially my lovely wife and cousin who only play this event. Together, we raised enough to support a family in need half a World away for 8 months in 2017!
