Santa Barbara Tournament 1/24

[Static Cat]

Greetings all

I'm sorry for the delay in posting this event, I've had a lot of other things that I needed to take care and this will unfortunately be a short review, however, a review none the less.

First off Chris couldn't play, then my roomate said to me that Wilson and Tony weren't going to play either, whether it's because Chris didn't play or they follow one mind ( kidding guys - or am I ) regardless, my roomate hit the nail on the head because Wilson and Tony didn't play and that meant Brian wouldn't play so we lost 4 people for our event

Fortunately Jeff showed up from LA thanks man, and we had Ryan, Carlos, Jeff, Me and Jon for the tournament, a little smaller than we wanted, but none the less.

Jeff - Slan: Taunt ( I hate Taunt ) Power Blowing
Cat - The Kurgan - sneaky special ( deck coming soon )
Jon - Malick - hit, hit, hit harder
Carlos - Galen - Um, Dirty Trick much
Ryan - Marcus Octavious - I play more stuff than you.

Round 1
Jeff vs. Cat

Did I mention that I HATE Taunt, however, Jeff has a good deck and he's a good player. I enjoy playing him. Now that he has some more cards he'll be able to play someone else SOMEONE NEW without TAUNT . . . I don't want to see General Katana

Regardless, Jeff ended up winning because I could never seemingly get my cards to work for me or I couldn't play them which is why I hate TAUNT, and in case you forgot . . . well I won't mention it again.

0-1

OTHERS:
Jon vs. Carlos - Carlos won
Ryan vs. the mysterious stranger we call BYE!

Game 2

Carlos

yeah, fun, right, no. . . fortunately I had the Skull Helmet out and the War Horse so I wasn't to worried about his "Prone" crap, I did manage to get rid of his bonus damage card, but it came back . . . and again I didn't get my stuff to make my deck work . . . seriously this deck is good and it will work and I will make it work, however, I lost again . . . so

0-2

OTHERS:
Jeff vs. Ryan - Jeff won because Ryan made a HUGE mistake in the beginning at least that's what he says and we have to believe him

Game 3

Hey look it's the mysterious BYE person, I so kicked his butt all over the place, head shot on the first turn and he forgot to draw his 15th card, totally my win . . . *yawn*

However, in the third round, Jeff played Carlos and Jon played Ryan and in the end, Jon had Ryans hand so clogged with stuff that he couldn't use because Jon played a location where no other locations could be played and Ryan had no way to get rid of it, and eventually Jon CHAINSAWED Ryans head . . . ( Head shot w/a chain saw, gruesome )

Regardless, Jon's Head Shot was the only one all night and Jeff beat Carols to take the Quickening - Luthor - get blocks.

Thanks Jeff for showing up, Cool Jon for CHAINSAWWING the head of his opponent and thanks to Carlos and Ryan for playing Star Trek afterwards ( yes you read that right another card game )

Thanks all,
Cat

I don't like missing tourneys I commit to, but my dad's b-day party got moved from Sunday to Saturday. Your old man only turns 58 once. It sounds like Jeff won...so congrats to him.

Live by the locations, die by the location.

First game i opted not to pop the disarm A&T cause I didn't have a break and got stuck in a slan taunt fest.

The game against Jon, he go out the Malick no location maybe played by your opponent, plus not enough tool box caused my hand to get so full of locations that couldn't be played it destroyed my hand.

Slan - TAUNT = BAD! . . . I ran into that as well, of course my deck didn't want to do what it was supposed to but, meh it was all fun.

Chris, yeah I can understand that I wouldn't want to miss my fathers birthday either. But your like Cerebus, . . . you lead and others follow

Catch you all later.

Are you talking about Star Trek the CCG from the 90's. We used to have a huge group including a regional director as one of the players. The death nail was when the game was bought out and destroyed. I actually still have the little binder that I recieved for being the State Runner-Up at the World qualifier held here back in 2000. That was an awesome tournament with over 50 players ranging from all over the globe to get to World's. The two I remember the most were two guys from Germany that were backpacking across the U.S. playing in the qualifiers until they got in. Man, those were the days. I still consider it one of my favorite games and still have the umpteen thousands of cards sitting with my L5R, Wildstorm, Mythos,Raw Deal, Middle Earth, and Dragonball Z stashes. Kind of disheartening thinking of all those games sitting idle in my basement.

My three favorite games I would have to say are:
Wildstorm CCG (my kids play it with me now, so that's cool)
Star Trek CCG (my kids are elbowing me to let them play that one)
Highlander CCG (been addicted to it from the start)

Actually it's Star Trek 2nd edition but it's pretty much the same game

Also, I like DBZ too
