Michael Van Breemen (The Ninja Scot) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2012-03-17 - 05:00 PM Covenant of Almost Evil Introduction Since Goval isn't allowed and I do like solving missions with two or less people whenever possible. Unfortunately, with scary luck, it didn't work like I wanted it to. The premise is simple - solve Investigate Maquis Activity with ideally two people, one of whom is triple-Covenant'd for an insane amount of attributes. After that, Basso-Covenant + Basso's text to get rid of Bareil from the discard pile gets by Transport Delegation. Spend the 5 points for Baraka and go to space for the win. If I had to do it over again, I would've changed Protect the Escapees to Amnesty Talk. Round 1 Michael O'Shogay FL (0) Mike was playing Voyager and we were going fast as possible. The game turned south when I get my Convenant Basso to attempt Transport Delegation by himself. Mike top-decks an Excalbian Drama (1 of 2 possible dilemmas that he could've played out of 28 remaining dilemmas in the deck btw.) He ends up winning a couple of turns later. Round 2 Greg Bloom FW (0)View opponent's ReportView original Report He's playing Cadets but I was successful in picking off Leyton at the cadet mission, which makes playing Dignitaries and Witnesses far more successful. The next mission attempt, I wasn't able to kill any Leadership but with Greg's playing of Escape, I was able to take out Original Thinker Kirk from his hand which was awesome. Thankfully, I was able to luck through my missions for the win. MvB was running a Bajoran deck that had only five personnel, and used three Covenants to pump one up ridiculously high. His goal with his dilemma pile was to consume everything early but a wall combo (Entanglement, The Clown: Guillotine, and Dignitaries and Witnesses). I managed to get two missions done while he set up both his personnel and dilemma pile, and would have had a fifty/fifty shot of getting through his combo on my next turn, but he got his hand set up and I wasn't able to draw the dilemmas to stop his two personnel mission completing shenanigans. Round 3 Ben Paulsen FL (0)View opponent's ReportView original Report My dilemmas were able to hold off Mirror Starfleet long enough for my deck to do what it was supposed to. However, I had to attempt Transport Delegation with two people and Basso was hit with Caretaker's Guest. If only Yassim could prevent multiple stops at the same time. Final round was against MVB. I saw he was playing Bajoran low point/integrity missions, and a small dilemma pile. Having played MVB several times in past, as well as knowing the types of decks he likes to play, I knew some sort of shenanigans/gadgets were going to be coming. I drew into personnel rather quickly and actually got to play Optimism. My first space attempt, he consumed 16 of his 20 dilemmas (YEAH!). Still had 6 personnel survive thankfully. Got through that attempt. He was able to complete his planet mission, but he then went to his other planet and I hit Bosso with Caretakers Guess, stalling his attempts. I waited through my deck to draw into leadership and events to overcome Clown: Guillotine/Dignitaries and Witnesses combo with D'Vela. I then put Strange New Worlds on MVB's final mission, and he killed all his Gravs earlier, thus not allowing him to attempt that final mission. After I had enough Leadership out, I was able to power through the final two missions for the Full Win, and tournament win!
