1/03 - Magic & Monsters SOR Box Event*
Format: Bo3, 5 rounds, 13 players; https://melee.gg/Tournament/View/222340
*Prizing: $10 entry; it was supposed to be a 1st place SOR box prizing event, but we didn’t hit the 16 player minimum.
First place got 17 SOR packs.
Three X-1 got 5 SOR packs.
I think everyone else got 1 TWI pack. There were also some participation packs of the Weekly Promo packs from each of the three sets given out to everyone.
We both went 4-1. We both lost to the 1st place player (Obi-Wan Yellow).
Deck - Quinlan Tarkintown
Matchups
Vs Cad Green 2-1
Lost the first game. Don't remember the next two games.
Rey Tarkintown 2-0
Both games, my Plo Koon dissuaded their leader flip.
Vs Jango Green 2-0
I think I had Turn2 Wing Leader in both games. In the first game, they didn’t have a Turn1 play and played Resupply on Turn2. Both games, they did Overwhelming Barrage on their Jango leader on their Resource5 turn (they ramped Game1, don't remember if they did for Game2). Game2 was a base race.
Vs Obi-Wan Yellow 1-2
Won the first game, lost the next two games. I think all games became a base race, but I didn't have enough burn. Third game, they Turn1 Grogu -> Turn2 Now There Are Two of Them -> Plo Koon. Obi-Wan leader unit (with Jedi Lightsaber) is annoying to deal with 🙃.
1/07 - Cardboard Games Weekly
Format: optional pre-siding, Bo1, 5 rounds, 20 players; https://melee.gg/Tournament/View/224894
We both went 4-1.
Deck - Cad Tarkintown
Matchups
Vs Anakin Blue 0-1
Missed my Turn1 play. I basically never had any board control. Got overwhelmed by Anakin leader.
Vs Anakin Blue 1-0
It became a base race, where my opponent was off by one action and I drew into a pump card.
Vs Qi’Ra Green 1-0
We both pre-sided. They didn’t wait to flip their leader after my leader flip. They were on the verge of stabilizing via Reinforcement Walker, but they couldn’t deal with my Ruthless Raider.
Vs Sabine ECL 1-0
Used my Tarkintown to kill their Turn1 R2-D2. I was one action off; they Darksaber’d their Sabine leader, so I just played 4-LOM without ambushing. My opponent killed it with Sabine leader fearing a Zuckuss the following turn. I took initiative and killed their Sabine leader with a ground unit the following turn. They later ECL’d Wrecker into my Cad Bane leader. I later Cad Bane unit captured their Wrecker, R2-D2, and Disabling Fang Fighter. They didn’t draw into another Bright Hope, which allowed my space unit to finish them.
Vs Bossk Blue 1-0
We both pre-sided. It seems like they didn’t draw that well? I also drew into like two Lurking TIE Phantoms early on. They were never able to deal with them. We played two more games afterwards, I was able to win both.
Conclusion
Nothing much, still thinking of what to bring for Planetary Qualifiers. Flip-flopping between several decks.
