Al Schaefer (ltkettch17) Tournament Report - 2E 2014-03-30 - 01:00 PM Another Relativity Deck? Introduction Went with Relativity today, not my favorite deck to play, but I haven't tried them in a tournament yet. ACE dilemma pile was also my choice today, again, nothing new, but it can be effective. Round 1 Bye BY (0) Took the BYE in round 1. Round 2 Eric Bieche FW (+100) Eric was also playing Relativity although a slightly speedier version. I got off to a good start with lots of events in play and lots of cheap Temporal Transporters. I kept Eric from completing his first mission by targeting Anthropology with my Kill dilemmas. Eric's dilemmas were much less effective and I rolled to a positive outcome. Round 3 Edward Pigman FL (-65) This game got off to another good start, but far fewer events than in the first game. Ed was playing new Bajorans and a Chula discard pile. I thought I would be in good shape with Chakotay's unstopping abilities, but it just didn't work out when he had Clown Go Away and 2x Chula The Game stacked on my 3rd mission. I should have left and gone to another mission, but I thought I could grind it out and finish with a micro-team. It just didn't work and Ed's second Tox Uthat helped him to finish his 3rd mission and take the comeback win after time. Bad decision making on my part and slick deck-building by Ed led to the result. Closing Thoughts The game with Ed totally reminded me of a match game with Sykes at Origins a LONG time ago. I had a solid lead, but got some damage dilemmas on my ship via the Tillman pile and thought I could grind out the last mission instead of going back to my HQ. I hate repeating mistakes in this game, you'd think one day I would learn...
