Mirror Mirror Scenario Tournament Report
by Spock
The time: Noon, February 4th, 2001
The place: Collectormania, Parker, Colorado
The occasion: Colorado's first Mirror Universe Tournament
I am using a Terran
Empire deck published in this month's WNOHGB. Traded for FOS
before the tournament, but never really used him.
Game 1: vs Stephen Rooke
He starts, plays a few people, and ends his turn. I started,
took my usual first turn (download a ship, etc) and did one of the dumbest
things imaginable. I played FOS free to the HQ, used him to download
an OS Type II Phaser, and initiated battle. 3 minutes later, most
of my opponent's deck was at that location. Needless to say, I lost
that fight.
I went ahead and got built up, while he played his non-security, non-leader
personnel. My It’s Only A Game limited his STP Drop, slowing him
down a little. He decided to attempt a mission in the MQ and lost
everyone to the Sheliak. I attempted Historical Research and solved
for 50, but time was called before I could solve another mission or two
for the win. Stephen did have a very interesting deck mechanic I
won't list here because he probably wants to use it again next time.
1 (+50)
Game 2: vs Matt Blackwell
He's got a KCA deck We both spend some time building up, and he solves
a mission with the help of Make It So for unstopping. I get my people
to the alpha quad and start going through dilemmas…I'm about to pass the
last dilemma and solve the mission for 40 when time is called.
0 (-30) 1 (+20)
Game 3: vs Jon Kulik
He had both KCA and TE outposts and was basically play - draw.
I put down my people and solved a few missions for the win.
2 (+100) 3 (+120)
Game 4: vs Mark Ponting
TE vs TE again.. Again, both players spent most of the game building
up. A bad ruling kept me from shutting him down, so I went and solved
a mission. He was about to solve one for 30 and I was about to solve
one for 35 or 40 when time was called.
1 (+40) 4 (+160)
Only one loss, but only got 4th or so due to the timed games.
Maybe next time I'll build a deck that starts attempting on turn one..
