Scott Baughman (Neelix) Tournament Report - 2E - American Nationals Side Event 2013-01-27 - 10:00 AM Cardie Cards Introduction After three tournaments over the past two days, I was pretty exhausted on Sunday morning when time for this event rolled around. But, I ended up having a good time despite my terrible dilemma pile. I had made a Cardassian all virtual deck and paired that with Presistent dilemmas and The Conscience of the King. Therefore, all my dilemmas were either planet or space or Conscience - nothing else was dual. In a 40 card dilemma pile that was also going for Euro Style, this was not a good thing. Round 1 Nathan Miracle FL (-30) Nathan and I almost always have great games and this was no exception. I stopped him fairly well despite my terrible dilemma draws (I usually only had one playable dilemma...LOL!) and I was able to capture The Rock! I scored 70 points in one turn thanks to two uses of The Central Command - that interrupt is BEAST in this deck as almost every single Cardassian is an eligible personnel. Still, my luck ran out when he got past my last ditch dilemma play of We'll Never Know with a timely Bridge Officer's Test. Ouch. Round 2 John Dustin Cox FL (-95) Dustin is using my own Starfleet Damaged deck against me so I know it well. That doesn't help me to draw any better dilemma wise and I lose this game because I have a bunch of Space dilemmas when he's at a planet and vice versa. Well played, Dustin. Round 3 Mikey Camp JR FW (+70) Mikey almost gets the win against me here until my deck decides to roar back to life and gift me - once again - with two copies of The Central Command in my hand on one turn. Thanks to Enabran Tain for letting me draw a bunch of cards. I play the Interrupt twice in one turn once more to Mikey's eternal dismay. Closing Thoughts Cardassians are a good choice to go for Euro style with lots of draw power and recursion options. The virtual capture cards and the AI of Prison Compound make that a nice bonus point strategy. I think I'll throw in some copies of At What Cost? and maybe some Amanda Rogers/Kevin Uxbridge to try and stomp their power cards and try this again. However, the dilemma pile needs work if I'm going for Euro Style. I've already earned Bare Minimum so I hope to someday soon get Euro Style and Size Matters Not.
