J (The Mad Vulcan) Tournament Report - Tr - Online Event 2014-07-23 - 07:00 PM Do You Close Your Eyes Introduction Wednesday night Tribbles, and I was again available. Josh and Mark were all ready for a game and they said they had Justin, but when he didn't show we jumped a random guy in the chat room and forced him to play. Thus, Ted was drawn in. Round 1 () Mark had the same deck that he ran last week, which was fine as so did I (I wasn't planning to play after all) - but this time I had a worse seat: downstream of Mark. My deck handled this better than those that had the bad seat last week did. But mark took a quick (but small) lead by hitting two big moneys on three Utilize and then going out early with 344 to add to that. Round 2 () Round 2 was the longest, and if Josh's battle deck had gone out here he certainly would have won the tournament. But it was me, and I took the lead with 543K. mark had continued to hit well with Utilize and had 451K after this round, so that lead looked to be short lived. After just scoring 1 in Round 1, Ted made some moves with a successful Bonus and a B'ij under my pile. Josh had yet to show up to the game. Round 3 () Round 3 was another quick one, like round 1. Mark got another 110K off of just two utilize attempts and then went out with 254. Nobody else scored any points in this round. Round 4 () Round 4 was Ted's round. He went out for 322 to push him to 472K and put him in contention - about 100K behind me with me just 50K behind Mark. Mark just got 50K from Utilize here, as he split the bill with Josh - who finally had a score of note. Taking up small grabs from Tally, Utilize, and Toxin - Josh had managed to get to 130K by this round. Round 5 () In the final round, Mark made a quick head with two 100Ks on his first two Utilize. That put him out of reach of anybody who didn't go out here. I was trying pretty hard to go out but just missing opportunities and Ted likewise. But it was Josh who finally pulled it off, for just 112K - keeping him in last place and securing Mark's win. Closing Thoughts Pretty fun game overall, good to see a newish player win one.
