Neil Timmons (ntimmons) Tournament Report - 2E Standard - Online Event 2009-09-07 - 12:00 AM Cadets are fast Introduction This tournament was online. This is my straight up cadet deck that I added a few cards to just because I knew who was in the tournament. I added a Skalaar because I don't know if Mogor has another deck other the Cardassians (I guessed correctly). and I added some interrupts for Michael vanBreeman to counter his Goval deck (Uninvited, Temprial Deliniation, Grav-Plating Trap). I was wrong about Goval, but I was right about Michael. Turns out I ended up playing both of them so my choices were very good! Round 1 Mats Jonsson FW (0) This was a rushed game. I got slotted in at the last moment because of a drop, so we had to hurry up and play late in the evening. I drew and played lots of people as fast as I could, and I won the game just after he completed his first mission. 100-35. It was great to chat w/ a trek player from across the pond, it's a really great way to bring people together! Round 2 Michael Van Breemen FW (0) What a game! Michael was playing his new hot borg nonsense where he completes a mission with only a couple of people! How fun is that! He had tampered away all the dilemmas that were playable, and had 3 grav plating traps in his hand for interrupts, but he let one get through! I was able to play a Temporal Delineation that I had added with him in mind! I was able to pull a dilemma that was able to stop him and strand his ship in space. Come to find out, he had a flaw in his deck that would have made him have to face 2 dilemma draws at a planet twice, so it wasn't looking good for him eihter way. Gosh I enjoy games against Michael, you work so hard, then he has a chance to just win. Round 3 Jordan Smith FW (0) What a knock down drag out fight! This was a TIGHT game. Jordan was playing cardassian capture, and I knew I had to get under his radar. If he started capturing guys, it was going to be a quick end. He completed 1 mission, and was able to Labor camp for 20 points, so the game ended 100-55, but the events of note that ended the game are listed below. 1. catching Shran, Elizabeth Shelby & one other guy against "Captured by the Breen" meant no one got captured. 2. Having an escape when I failed the second "Captured by the Breen" was huge. 3. Getting Sklaar out to un-capture Tolian 3 different times was heavy. Without any of these the game would have gone a vastly different direction. Also we were done in 45 mintues, for online play that is super fast. I didn't make many mission attempts, because I stacked dilemmas when I dodged captures. I ended the game decked out because of all the drawing/discarding I had to do for Sklaar, but it was enough and I was able to take the day.
