ChiCon Thanks and Tournament Report

clu · ChiCon Thanks and Tournament Report

1st off thanks for the folks that play-tested the hell out of these decks! The changes we made we all for the positive. 2nd off the travel mates were all first class Thanks Shives, Drubber & VT.

For those of you couldn't make it...it was a ton of fun. drinks were drank, games were played and legends were born. Here my TR that I posted on the FFG site

I've already done my thanks shuffle so on the the good stuff! here's the deck...I figured I had to run a Wrath type deck because at the time this was going to be the last 1v1 tournament for me. Well, it ended up being a pretty darn good deck after all!

Rd 1 vs Nick-ler Targ w/ Targ Agenda
I've spoken with Nick ad naseum before about how charalite has a place in the AGOT world and know his venemous disagreeance. So it was fun to beat him! The game was a slobber knocker. He hit 14 twice while I dug for power icons.

Rd 2 vs Mathlete Lannister
This game was terrible for me. My plots kept jamming up on me and he got to conspiracy several times. boo. But at least I got to relax between games!

Rd 3 vs The Braz Targ
This game was a slow grinder. I cleared his board. Then set up the lock down. I found out later I totally cheated with x2 Sky Cells on the same dude. I was under the impression that both draws would be canceled instead of just one.

Rd 4 vs ktom Greyjoy w/Kings of Salt & Rock
We beat the hell out of each other. Neither one of us has any card draw left. Here's the scene...He's at 13 power with "Silence" in play. He intrigues unopposed. 14 power. I've got 2 cards in hand, a location and an event. He goes to trigger Silence. I cancel with the only card I've got left in my hand. I then get to power back with my dudes and win. 50% chance to win or lose! fantastic game!

Rd. 5 vs Maester Luke Stark w/ Treaty Lannister
Another brutal game. The first 10 plots I don't have any cancels. He rises to 14 power pretty quickly. I manage to keep him in that ballpark with Southron Heirs & Deadly Seductions. I finally get a Wine Cellar! Time is getting close. I draw into a glut of cancels. Anything he does I can nuke, like Barracks for instance. we look at the board. Luke shakes my hand.

Rd 6 vs Jon Snow Lannister
Last of the beater games. He Fleeing'd me turn two. That was unexpected! We jockey for position. I've got his challenges pretty much locked out but I can't stop the dominance. He climbs to 13 and drops Mouth of the Lion. I look at my hand. Look again. Play out the turn congratulate him!

So I end 4-2. I know I'm out of the running so I partake of AJ's hospitality and start to play Stanton some casual games. Then, I hear my name called for top 8! I quickly check with ktom to make sure it's not a mistake.

Rd 7 vs The Shiek Martell w/ Treaty Stark
I see him flip his house card and treaty. I feel pretty darn confidant, another treaty deck! More time to set up for me! He gets a great start with dudes turn one. I Westeroes Bleeds. Good so far. He keeps climbing up to 16 power. The whole time I'm mincing my marshalling phase waiting for Fleeing. Turn 5 he drops Myrcella after a Winter Has Come. I Lighthouse for 4 instead of just 2. I've locked out his intrigue challenge for the turn so I could Greyjoy's at the Wall Myrcella (why didin't keep the 2 influence!!). He netted 6 cards of her. I got my revenge though and bombed out like 10 cards with Rule by Decree.

On the whole he kept the board flush with tiny dudes (1st Snow would've helped me all day). When I saw his 6th plot I kinda just sat there. I reminded him to trigger Benjen's and sat there...no Fleeing. I could've been dumping my locations and locking up the board. If I was more aggresive, the game (i'm pretty sure) would've swung my way instead of trying to play around Fleeing. Well, that was my decision and I have to live with it. I lost to a better player. Congrats again Adam!
