MaquisApplying the FULL-NELSON 1.5
Introduction
With the tournament being online Finals, I use my infamous "Full Nelson" deck. Use Biogenic Weapon/Strange New Worlds on 2 space or planet missions (FULL NELSON) to lock your opponent out.

Round 1DominionChristopher JansaFW (+35)
I quickly put the FULL NELSON on his two space missions. After completing a mission I use Organized Terrorist Activities to remove 1 of 2 Law peeps, but he downloads his second law to have a chance at breaking the FULL NELSON. As he attempts the Strange New Worlds mission, he bluffs it twice so he doesn't risk his only law peep. With time run out, I manage to complete my last mission barely giving me a full win. FW 100-65

Round 2VoyagerAdam BargarMW (+1)
I look at the missions and notice only 1 planet mission which quickly gets Biogenic Weapon on it. After scoring a mission I do OTA again and remove a law peep, then do it again next turn with another OTA and Strange New Worlds joins the Biogenic Weapon (FULL NELSON). Although I lock him out, I have to actually let him score missions for free just so I have time to try and get the full win. With 2 missions completed and a mod win secured, I try my 3rd mission with time run out. I fail and have to settle for a 85-120 win (yes that is correct). MW 85-120

Round 3StarfleetMichael Van BreemenFW (+35)
Just like game 2, Ninja has 1 planet mission. I just do to Ninja what I did to Adam last game. OTA removes his only law in his deck and the FULL NELSON get placed on his planet mission. Defiant Reprisal was very helpful to me limiting the death I was facing with Ninja's dilemmas. This made completing missions much faster. FW 100-65

Closing Thoughts
This deck was very brutal. The question is do I use it again in the next online finals? North American Continentals? Worlds? Never like using this deck twice in a row. Too predictable. Though to be fair, I used it twice in a row already technically. (This online final/Soiux Falls Regional)
