Neil Timmons (ntimmons) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2011-02-13 - 11:30 AM Paper Introduction This is the same TOS deck I used that I have called "Paper". Legacy is a rock. Ignoring legacy is the same as throwing scissors. Accounting for Legacy is throwing paper. This deck is paper. it will deal with Legacy by hook or by crook. I put in Lord Garth, and 3x Khan! other then that the deck is essentially unchanged. Honestly I am scared of legacy. I know what it can do, and I know what it is capable of. Whenever I build for a tournament, especially a big one, I have to sit and think how to beat Legacy and make sure I won't get caught flat footed. The only reliable answers i can come up with is Borg and Kirk. So this week I chose Kirk. Round 1 Ed K MW (+70) I caught Ed w/ a Khan! and stripped him of his bonus points early on. He used Navaaar to bust all the events in his core to break a Where no One has Gone Before, which was hot.. but I caught him at his planet mission for a few turns and I was able to gain victory conditions before time was called. MW 65-35 Round 2 Alexander Schmitz FW (+65) Alex finally came back! He was playing the new hot Bajorans. I also caught him with a Khan! when he tried to play Opaka, and I caught him when he tried to play Kira taban. KAHN!!!!! I was able to catch him at his space mission for a few turns, and he made 2 mistakes playing dilemmas and I was able to steal 2 of my missions. He hit me with some combat, but it was too late. Funny enough after the game, he gave me his Bajoran Resistance deck, and he played another of his decks, and I busted through 2 missions before we had to pick up.. I think Resistance is super strong.. and lots of fun. Round 3 Phil Schrader FW (+100) Phil was also playing Resistance. He added in some Tragic Turn for good measure. The Kirk hates turn. two of my missions i was able to short stack to stack some dilemmas, then send a good team with Kirk. It means it takes 6 turns to do your missions (turn 1. soften it up. turn 2, burn kirk to solve. rinse and repeat 6 times.) but my guys were faster and cheaper then his were. I played Khan! on him when he tried to play Opaka. Round 4 Darrell Minott FW (+55) Darrel was 'also' playing Resistance personnel. his was very combat oriented. I was breaking through my missions, and he came over and battled me for 45 points. I fell back a little because he scored so many points from battling, but i was able to get through missions for the win. I hit him with Khan! when he tried to play Opaka, and when he tried to play Kira taban. FW 100-45 Round 5 John Corbett FW (+65) John was the Cardassians.. on the day everybody was supposed to be bajorans. it was awesome. I hit him with Khan! when he tried to play Broka to score 5 points, and Broka hurts if you have to discard the top 6 cards of your deck. John was able to end-run around his space mission, but was not able to catch any extra points. He was working on his second mission with Labor camp in play, but I busted a Legacy for the win. FW 100-55
