Romulan-Cardassian Dissident Deck |
Introduction |
So I stole Nick's deck from last week and improved upon it; it's a nice little deck idea but it still needs some work. |
|
Round 1 | | Emily Coffee | FW (+100) |
Emily's still new to the game, so I did my best to help her out a bit. Deck kicked off very well; Kira and P&P came out on turn 1 and off I went; blew through Wormhole and scored 50 points, then nearly finished my second mission on the same turn. Did not go first but got an excellent hand. |

|
Round 2 | | Will Raiman | FW (+90) |
Will was playing Klingons and this deck has no kill protection so I was concerned. I got Kira and Hiren in my opening hand; no worries at that point. I was attempting missions with 15-17 people and Will just couldn't kill enough of them. |

Round 3 | | macgyver | FW (+40)View opponent's ReportView original Report |
What a drain this was; Nick and i both got screwed by our decks, but he got screwed worse. I forced him to use all 3 Ruling Councils on getting past stops at Kressari and I was still able to force him to be stopped yet again. His wife's phone call had clearly rattled him as he made minor mistakes that kept adding up. It was down to the wire but I managed to pull off Hunt for DNA program for the win. |
So, this game was a cluster-fock on both sides. He goes first, so no historical research. All game long, he never set up extra points and never found kira. I had a strong opening hand and got off to a good start. He finally puts together 7 dudes to attempt wormhole negotiations. As I'm selecting dilemmas, my wife calls. She's ruined my car- she put it in first gear at 40mph. She's frantic, yelling at me trying to decide what to do. I finally calm her down and fix the problem. I look back down at my dilemmas and throw issue of trust and wnohgb, totally forgetting that the anti treachery rom is in play. It wiffs and he autosolves a 45 point mission. At this point, I'm really rattled. I end up blowing all three of my ruling councils to try and get through kressari. He's drawing 2 and still finding something to hit and stop. I finally solve it, but I realize that without a ruling council or earth SF, I only get 55 points... I'm going to have to solve all three missions. I start working on mine vendarite, he's working on hunt dna program. It's down to the wire. He attempts with the minimum, I get to draw/spend 2 and I hit caretaker's guest. I look through his people and pick out a ptol, thinking that it deprives him of the skills. Nope, he had the skills another way and just grabs a random romulan. He solves, then points out that he hand no NA people in his discard pile and that if I'd chosen delvok, I'd have stopped him. We both realize that I could have still 2 mission'ed my game if I'd placed odo on the bottom of my deck with survey new world and replayed him. Then solved survey new world instead of mine vendarite. Oh well. We both remarked that I could/should have won that game if I'd played better. Stupid phone call. Car is still running a tad rough, but nothing seems to be that wrong. |
