Mike Rudolph (Griffeyfanatic) Tournament Report - 2E Standard 2011-09-06 - 05:30 PM Strange Bedfellows? Pshh Introduction Second Tourny back from my hiatus. Round 1 Dan Peterson FW (+100)View opponent's ReportView original Report First game against our newest player. Got all my pieces set up early. Got my two mission kill right away. His inexperience with dilemmas and what to do hurt him and I walked through the first mission in one attempt scoring 65 plus my previous 5 for Odo. Got mission 2 in two attempts. 2 Headquarters, that's new. Round 2 Matthew Hayes FW (+100)View opponent's ReportView original Report Matthew got out slightly ahead of me, but I was able to shut him down with dilemmas. I got out but without my Cardy's for the Tenaktalar. Got Odo for 5. Got my first mission when Matthew missed on a dilemma combo. Got the Earth points and didn't pay enough attention to who's skills I used to complete so only got to use one Ruling Council, 60-0. Don't really remember much of the rest. Matthew was upset to fall behind so quickly. Got mission 2 burned a ruling council for the win. Ah, Mike's Strange Bedfellows deck. Deck #3 (run in his current appearances as Deck #2) of his stable of recurring decktypes (Damaged/Alien Starfleet being deck #1 [or #3, depending on how you look at it?] and Equinox being the other). It's fast, and I don't fault two mission kills, 'cuz they are sweet to carry out. GG. My full loss, 0-100. Maybe next time? Round 3 Chris Volk FL (-100)View opponent's ReportView original Report Chris got tons of his stuff out right away, while mine took a bit. He happened to have a CentCom on his first attempt and I used 1 all stopper, which he unstopped with CentCom. He ran to his second mission on the same turn. He had six I gave him Poly Tox, but he still managed to make the mission. I finally got out to attempt a mission, but it was too late and Chris got mission three in two attempts. Mike got a late start (playing a ship only after I had completed my first two missions for 70 points). The first being kressari in which he gave me only one dilema (breaking the ice)which would have stopped everyone but I was able to us the central command to walk them all through. The second mission took me roughly 3 attempts to complete. At the third mission he stopped me up on my first attempt but left two under. Second attempt was with 4 he draws 2 and caretakers guests my copy of lore. Now there's 3 under. He finally gets rolling and goes out for his first attempt. I return the favor and hit him with breaking the ice. It stops his attempt. Third attempt I send 4 and he drew a 2 coster he couldn't play. I solve for the win.
