Dreamer And The Dream is quite vicious in a ship destruction deck because discarding ships and removing them from the game using Dukat is more efficient than having to destroy them. I used this dilemmas atleast twice every game (usually getting a ship or two discarded). It never missed.
Removing enough Diplomacy to cause the opponent to fail Gomtuu Shock Wave is not too difficult when packing Secret ID and Caretaker’s Guest plus the common filters in the dilemma pile. Coordinated Counter Attack is a great card to beat cheaters – hands down.
McCoy, Alvera Tree Ritual, and Coordinated Counter Attack all were key.
I did not use Kruge a single time, nor did I use Suprise Amity.
I don't think I seen any, well maybe 1-2, cards from the last two expansions.
I did leave a pool of blood behind at the tournament after four rounds today. I destroyed 5 ships this tournament and killed somewhere around 54 of my opponent’s personel. Gomtuu hit every single time I threw it. It never missed.
It’s really “surreal” to finish my Florida stint with another Regional win. My first tournament in Florida was the Orlando 2E Regional back in 2012 in which I used a version of this deck to win that event as well. To think that I am 5/5 for Florida 2E Regional wins (making my way through opponents such as Geoffrey Peterson, Eric Robinette, Dan Matteson, Rick Kinney), warms my heart and I hope, earns the respect of my future opponents in Los Angeles and across the country when I make the move to Los Angeles in just a few short weeks to take on Nathan Wineinger and Chris Donati.
Today I was told that I play quite aggressively and that I show no mercy. One player told me that my eyes change, I get quiet and I become a different person. I focus and don’t really move. That I stand on my opponents necks and don’t stop until the game is over. I suppose that’s true. I like to win and this is a game I like to play. It’s fun.
Greg Dillon made a mistake not predicting TK to win this tournament. Poor guy. It seems when you bet against TK, you always lose. Dan and Ryan though, were right on point with their predictions. Congratulations to you two fine gentlemen.
Thank you to my haters out there for keeping my tech on it's toes. Thank you to Dan Matteson for throwing such a nice event - the hospitality was excellent. Dan also has a new woman that can cook really good. She made lunch for everyone and it was quite delicious so thank you to you too.
