Markus Eberlein (eberlems) Tournament Report - 2E - Trek Masters 2014-10-04 - 11:00 AM Terok Nor BoT I Introduction First Masters tournament ever, new edition BoT... My idea was get these 8472 dilemmas out of game and ignore all random selections. Round 1 Christian Zipper FW (+45) Christian had a bit older klingon deck without the BoT. The first Tenuous Alliance removed a Distress Call, so the 2 Edan'Atan were happy to mircoteam with 2 mission-skill personnel. Removing 10 cards took long and could only be used once during the my last attempt. Round 2 Benjamin Liebich FL (-95) Somehow I always underestimate these TOS guys. Sisko + Security Drills + Driven = 3 Security and so on. Worf and Sisko reappeared several times, so my cards didn't set up. Removed ~ 6 dilemmas, max cost 4. Round 3 Andreas Rheinländer FW (+65) A deck I didn't expect. Personnel with 2*Skill to overcome the 8472 dilemmas and the rest high attributes. Forsaken stole some of my Treachery and Kressari needs 2... Andreas solved Terrasphere, had about six 8472 in my core. By that time I had 2 missions solved. So everything was possible. In the end I got the 100 points faster by 3 solving missions. Removed ~ 11 dilemmas, max cost 6. Round 4 Tobias Rausmann FL (-65) Oh well, how do I put this? My deck didn't get startet and TOS got underestimated and just solved 2 missions. At least Odo made 5 points. GG Removed ~ 4 dilemmas, max cost 5. Round 5 Martin Hirschvogel FL (-95) Where no TN ship has gone before, where no TN ship has gone before. 2 Ruling Council didn't help there. And there also was a Reflections which was quite effective. Removed nothing good ~7 cards. Closing Thoughts My opponents didn't win using the Terrasphere text. The highest cost of removed dilemma were 4 5 6 or once 9. The number of removed was 4 between 14 in the end. Removing 10 dilemmas needs a faster strategy. Maybe Bustling for the 2 unique personnel dilemma remover and some TN in the discard pile for Kira. Labor Camp never got used, no captives. The planned strategy was: Remove dilemmas with Tenuous Alliance, War of Attrition + Kira. Put Masaro on Anything or Anyone and use his order. Put Odo Founder via Anything or Anyone to any opponent's personnel. Starting a mission attempt, using Damar to discard another Anything or Anyone. Use Odo FOunder to put it back on the deck. When a random selection appears use Undermined Defenses to discard that top of the deck Anything or Anyone and place it back. Do this for the whole team and for each random selection.
