Steve Nelson (Boratus) Tournament Report - 2E - Online Event (Subspace Series) 2020-11-20 - 12:00 AM My 1st Lackey tournament Introduction With Apocalypse Rising being released, I add Playing by the Rules to my Bajoran Resistance deck since having peeps in the discard pile is helpful. Round 1 Benjamin Liebich MW (+15) Seeing Dominion I assume lots of interrupts and I'm not disappointed. Luckily I get Paenol out and score three JLOT's to net me points to use him. He gets a lot of work having to stop Crippling Strike and Our Death is Glory to the Founders multiple times. Losing 25 points stopping these interrupts prevents me getting a 2 mission win, but was necessary to keep a 70-55 modified win. Round 2 Alexander Schmitz FW (+30) Here I'm facing off against DS9 deck. Early game I get my JLOT bonus points thanks to relocating peeps with dilemmas. These bonus points greatly help my peeps abilities to complete 2 missions fast while stalling Alex at 1 mission a long time. He nearly comes back, but a do a JLOT battle at the end to get the win. Round 3 Tjark Ott FW (+50) I see Tjark have Metron Arena and I'm overjoyed that I don't have to depend on dilemmas to relocate his peeps for JLOT. I make the mistake of using greasy Dukat while not having my JLOT setup giving him some help. Have to depend on doing missions without the bonus points (resistance rifle was huge) and score JLOT later using Left Behind to get the battle and the win. Round 4 Michael Van Breemen FL (-100)View opponent's ReportView original Report Similar to Game 1 with two key differences. First, I don't get Paenol to nerf the interrupt which help Ninja complete a mission. Second, though I successfully relocate a peep with Arena, with the mission completed he flies to my mission to rescue the relocated dude preventing me any bonus points. This makes my first mission very slow to solve stopping me three attempts. I never even complete it. This combined with my dilemmas having to "Play by the Rules" makes Ninja complete quickly. Playing by the Rules and Explicit Orders won this game for me. I ended up putting three dilemmas underneath missions with Playing by the Rules, used Explicit Orders to get past Dead Ringer with no one in my discard pile at the time. Even Broca got a dilemma underneath a mission to make Siege AR-558 an auto-solve on my turn. I only dragged one dilemma this game to Survey New World. Closing Thoughts I expected to get a lot of use with Playing by the Rules, but never even used it once. My relocation dilemmas worked every game and battled 3 of the 4 games for bonus points helping me win those 3 games. Also got much needed experience to use Lackey. Hope to play in more online tournaments in the future!
