We did a "Pack Muskrat" using a set of attacks, blocks, and a head shot from our collection and then drafting from 4 boosters of Search for Vengeance. The downside with a full set is no personas to draft. Unfortunately we had only 3 starters and 5-8 players.
5 people played giving us the player list of...
Zombie Joe (Birthday #1)
Nick (Zombie Son and Birthdat #2)
Thomas (The German Kid)
Josh (Sick Bastidge that gave me this crap)
Van (Well I can kick your butts at Battlepods)
Smack talking aside, I will hit the highlights as I did not record round by round.
Round One
Round Two
Round Three
Summary: Direct Damage cheese is not really king, even in this format. Checklist and common full grid dodges will still help you win the event at the cost of the rare cards.
Final Rankings
Zombie Joe 3-0 with 1 head shot
The German Kid 2-1 (can't remember head shots)
Van 2-1 (can't remember head shots)
Josh con Queso 1-2 (can't remember head shots)
Nick 1-2 no head shots

Round One
- Van took the Bye (Bye just can't seem to win a game!)
- Nick was "outcheesed" by Josh. And yes, he was playing a whole lot of Direct Damage.
- Zombie Joe beat the German Kid by a single round. One final successful slash had him hitting 0 during his attack phase before me in sudden death. Close match, as it is most of the time.
Round Two
- The German Kid beats up on that Bye guy.
- Zombie Joe takes the son out, but he manages to protect against the first turn hidden head shot.
- Van beats up on Josh's direct damage cheese deck.
Round Three
- Nick gets a Bye round.
- The German Kid beats up on Josh and his direct damage (I think)
- Zombie Joe takes Van's head with a hidden head shot on turn two. I think Van is still grumbling about this one.
