Jon Carter (pfti) Tournament Report - 1E - American National 2020-07-04 - 12:00 AM 1E nations stolen from Peter Introduction So I was planing a crash deck, then I saw peter's deck from Kaiser Fest. So my lazy ass just took that. Turned out to be a good meta call. Round 1 Austin Chandler FW (+100) The no downloads kills austin. So I am able to work through three missions and get the win that I need. I think I was about out of crashes when I won, Round 2 Joseph Wisniewski FW (+100)View opponent's ReportView original Report Joe is slowed down by the crashes. A burried alive at the mission with my artifact also means I am able to win in two missions Lesson: Play the deck that won the last Nationals. This deck is really fast. I think Maquis having 3 free personnel per turn is probably too much. I did stymie him for a moment with Buried Alive->Space Amoeba->"God" but he fished up another ship and took care of it while I was stuck again behind Computer Crashes. Round 3 Paddy Tye FW (+70) So the crashes keep Paddy from downloading the outposts for consume outpost. that means he is more or less on lockdown Misinpreted history also lets me kill Q before a cytherians. so that gives me lots of time. Round 4 Niall Matthew FW (+100) Niall's holos get fairly grounded without downloads. He would have probs outsped me but I won before the Crashes ran out. I think I won in 6 turns, but I had mutated and redrawn a crash, so I had at least one more turn of sorta lockout Round 5 Matthew Pennaz FW (+60)View opponent's ReportView original Report The crash plus putting ELF on his first ship buys me a lot of time. I am able to get through the med science combos quoickly, but the spaceline leaves me drawing for trechary. It shows up as litterly the last card I draw on my last turn Giving me the win that would have likely gone to him as his genisis device would trigger next turn. Wow, Peter/Jon has a fast deck! Computer crashes didn’t hurt as much as I thought they would have, and was able to push through *most* of the interference. Looking back I wish I had seeded a few dilemmas differently (one mis-seed) and had taken advantage of Villagers with Torches to stop the redshirt probing. Lots of fun, as always. Down to the last turn… again! Closing Thoughts Life Lesson Kids, if you need downloads: Quarks rods + 10 and 01 is key.
