Decipher-Con
"THE PIT DROIDS" 2000 Tournament
Report
2000-12-10:
Well another Decipher-Con has come and gone, but those who went
, saw, and played will have memories that will last more than
a weekend! For us, the Pit Droids (Avery
Poliak, Brad Bedlion, Chris Hines, and Patrick Hines),
sunday was a day to remember. Here is how it all unfolded.The
begining to this great day was not what I would call a red letter
day. We slept in till 9:10 which wasn't exactly what we wanted
to do. My light side deck wasn't even finnished and all 4 of us
didn't have our deck lists completed. To make things worse we
still had to do our last minute packing so we could check out!
Pat and Chris go down to the lobby and check out while Avery and
I finnished up our deck lists. The tournament was suposed to start
about 10:00 am, but fortunately for us Iwas delayed till 10:30
due to people filling out our deck lists.
Game one finnaly started and I was paired against this woman (
sorry but I forgot her name). She was a LS queens and senators
deck which wasn't a kind of deck I was exspecting to see at all.
I was playing my DS "Frankenstien" deck and was very confident
starting with it. My starting hand was a little better than average
but I got no weapons. I ended up playing a blue dot tank and the
Sando Aqua Monster effect my first turn. I then drew up and low
and behold I got enhanced Maul and his double stick. Second turn
I deployed then and took the planet with ease. The next planet
she choose was Naboo which was one of the two planets she was
deared to dominate. She deployed 3 Queen's and 3 Amidala's blasters
and I let her have the planet, but not before I evacuated myMaul
off of Tatooine. So It came down to a showdown in the senate.
I was able to deploy a Aurra Sing and a blaster rifle on the first
turn and drew up. She played 3 cards and evened. I fliped over
and added another Enhanced Maul along with a probe droid. She
flipped over 2 wookiee senators and then deployed a naboo Queen
and another wookiee senator. She then battled with 2 battle plans.
I also had one to play. I set up my battle plan and had Aurra
up front with a Opee Sea Killer, a probe droid, then Maul w/ blaster
rifle she had a wookiee senator up front with a Negotiations battle
plan and we tied. Then her queen killed my probe droid. The next
pair was my Maul w/ blaster rifle. She played Yousa Guys Bombad
with the remaining two senators (in case you are wondering they
were power 5). I called over the judge and because yousa Guys
can only work with stackable characters and not with non-unique
characters. So it is Maul w/ blaster rifle vs. a lone wookiee
senator, and guess what I draw a 3!!!, if I had not questioned
the illegal play I would have lost Maul!!! The next turn I throw
down 2 anti-queen Nutes and I match perfectly against her battle
plan and take the planet by 28.
Full Win - 2(28)
Avery, Chris , and Pat also won their games for a team record
of 4-0 first game.
Game two was against James Lafferty who was playing a Maul deck
vs. my Boys are back in town v.2.1. This game was a hard fought
game for me, but luck was on my side. James could only find one
weapon for the first two planets, but that first weapon was the
doublr stick. In my first battle I sent Anakin in his pod to try
to take out Maul but he drew 5 & 6 while I drew 2 & 4. So Ani
died but he did get me a Negotiations which I used in the next
battle. James didn't have anything else to deploy and battled
me for posetion of the planet. I only had Qui-gon w/ a blaster
rifle so I gave hin the Negotiations. The match up was Maul w/
double stick vs. Qui-gon w/ +3 and a blaster rifle. Maul drew
a 2 & 4 for a total of 13. I drew a 5 for 15 and control of the
planet. The next planet was Naboo and this is where I make1 of
my 2 mistakes. James deploys theed palace along with Rune and
Nute. All I have is a anakin and a Naboo Queen. James deploys
more good stuff and I debate whether to forfiet or battle and
forfiet. I had 3 Anakins and a Queen. I decide to battle and I
take a beating for 8 cards plus the characters. I then forfiet
and go to the Capital city where I deploy 2 Padmes that match
and by then I also have transported my characters off of both
planets and even up. James tried to transport Maul off Tatooine
earlier but I shot I down so he deploys another Maul and double
stick along with a few other chracters. I got lucky and had enhanced
Qui-gon with his stick and a few R2s and Jawas. By the time we
battled I had 3 Jawas and 2 R2s along with Qui-gon vs. James Maul
and company. James gets the first battle and I manage to miss
the big confrontation w/ maul and suffer 4 damage to his 2. then
I transport Anakin off of naboo and throw down an Anakin along
with another R2 and Jawa. James has about 8 cards in his draw
deck when he initiates anothe batle and misses Qui-Gon again.
I have him down to 2 cards left to my 6 after that battle. I then
make my second big mistake by not realizing that if Maul uses
his weapon he is decked in our next battle. I stick Qui-gon in
the back because all I am thinking about is over-run and decking
him that way.
I win by 2 instead of the possible 14 I should have beaten him
by (4 for the damage in the last battle + 8 damage from Naboo
batle that didn't need to take place.
Full Win 4(30)
Avery also won while Chris and Pat lost. 6-2 after 2 games.
Game 3 came down to myself not getting a transport, not following
my gut and making a unneeded transport attempt that was shot down.
I lost by 26
Full loss 4(4)
Avery won keeping us alive while Chris and Pat lost again. 7-5
after 3 games.
Game four was sweet revenge! Jennifer Niana had beaten me in our
regional qualifier and it was time for payback. We were even going
to the last planet of Coruscant. Have I mentioned that Maul w/
double blade is great , but not when you face it against your
own characters. That Maul took out THREE!!! Qui-gons on that planet.
Two of them even had Qui-gon's stick. But revenge would be mine!
I kept the draw deck full of cards from my two late game transports
that made it through successfully. I had Anakin and his pod on
the table and I then deployed a JC Padme and another R2 to the
capital city with Anakin. I battled and got the battle plan I
needed to win the game. R2 got taken out by the other character
and that left maul w/ double stick vs Anakin w/ pod and Padme
w/ Are you an Angel? Let me tell you something, Padme IS AN ANGEL!!!
I defeated maul easily and that decked Jennifer and won myself
the game by 9 cards. That win sent me to 3-1 which really helped
the team.
Full Win 6(14)
Avery went undefeated with a 8(80) record, Chrish won to go 2-2
and Pat lost and was dropped from our final score. Team total
(after drop) 9-3
When the TD's called out the final result I was estatic ! This
was my first peice of glass ever. It was a great weekend. Avery
placed 9th in the World Finals for YJ. I won a Wild Wild Menace
Sealed Deck, Pat won a Wild Wild Menace Sealed deck as well. It
was a very nice way to end a perfect weekend of DecipherCon2000.
