WTGeoff 1

Started the deck at the Portal's Store Championship in Manchester, CT on Jan. 30th. Performed acceptably but I finished 2-2 which was less acceptable.

The list as compared to the published list was:

+1 Storm of Swords -1 Summons

+1 Brothel Madame +1 Randyll +1 Milk of the Poppy +1 Seal of the Hand +1 Left +1 Right -2 Hand's Judgment -2 Knight of Flowers -1 Syrio Forel -1 Grand Maester Pycelle

The day went:

Round 1 - Night's Watch / Something (Sun?) - W Round 2 - Targ / Rose - L Round 3 - Night's Watch / Stag - L Round 4 - Night's Watch / Something (Fealty?) - W

The rounds I lost I didn't draw enough people (R. 2) or Mulliganed improperly (R. 3). By improperly, I mean I mulliganed Tywin, Lannisport, Widow's Wail, Milk, and Events into Tyrion, Seal, Wheelhouse, Jaime, and Events followed by draw no people turns 1 and 2 and at that point he had about 6 power so I just scooped (WHOOPS BROKE THE FLOOR RULES).

Fast forward to Saturday (2/20) for Black Moon's Store Championship and I played what was published but:

+1 Storm of Swords -1 Summons

The day went...

Round 1 L - Than on Lannister/Sun: We played a really close game where I had a sub-par setup but was able to draw out of it. I made a number of small misplays that Than was able to capitalize on and snowball into his victory.

Round 2 W - Keith on Stark Fealty - Keith had played one game total before this game and that was Round 1 of the event and he is a good friend of mine. This game was a less than desirable experience for him as I setup Tywin/Cost Reducer/Roseroad and played Tyrion and a Madame on turn 1. I just kind of killed all his people and stopped any of his triggers from happening.

Round 3 W - Night's Watch/Stag (I am sorry I forget your name): This game was less close as I was able to have a good setup and end my turn 1 in a very strong board presence. I drew 2x Treachery, 1x Tears, and 1x Put to the Sword and was able to clear my way through his randoms to keep the Wall either locked down, or Trachery'd so stop his flow of power. I think he ended on 7 power and we ended the game on plot 4 or 5. Fun things this game were Treachery on Benjen, Put to the Sword-ing a cost reducer as it was his only intrigue icon, and Tears-ing a Bastard in Hiding to clear his power icons.

Round 4 W - Tonya on Targ/Lannister - I play Tonya a lot as shes a friend and we both play at Pop Culture in Raymond NH. This was probably the closest game all day as on the last turn we both had 13 power, but she had no way to attack through Tywin with a Seal and Randyll with a Widow's Wail. We were both at two people because she was forced to flip Wildfire and I had flipped Marched as I wanted a high initiative plot to ensure I could go first and win a power challenge with Tywin to get to 15. I knew she didn't run anything left in her plot deck with higher initiative than Marched, and was anticipating a Wildfire. At that point there was no way for her to win.

Round 5 L - Baratheon Sun (I don't remember your name sorry) I got a decent setup, but he was able to stick Mel and trigger her 3 turns in a row, two of those turns were alongside a Filthy. I scooped (F the police) when I was down 4 power to 12 and assumed that he saw the line of play to sequence to get the power he was missing.

Top 8 - Evn Targ/Rose: He sits down and is all like "Man this match is so difficult." and I was all "But the last time we played in CT you manhandled me" but he reminded me that I drew no people and he went all Trogdor on me. Spoilers, I drew no people and he had Form of the Dragon in play.

Missed the playmat unfortunately, but it is what it is. I didn't really want the playmat because I have >= 20 unused playmats, but I kind of wanted the playmat. I told him I didn't want it because honestly, I didn't really at the time.

Sunday 2/21 at Relentless Dragon in Nashua

We played as published. Losing >= 2 games because I drew no people meant that we play Summons now.

Round 1 - Brian(? sorry I'm a bad person) Greyjoy Fealty - I setup the dream and run over him. He never has more than 2 people in play and I cruise to victory.

Round 2 - Chris Targ Fealty - I wince when we get paired because I am something like 1-3 against Targ in actual tournaments. We play a close game, but I throw away a Hand's Judgment trying to keep a Brothel Madame in play and it later comes back to bite me and I lost this game I think 10 to 15? I think it was close. The point is I wasted a Hand's Judgment and it was incorrect to do so.

Round 3 - Phil Targ Fealty - Glitch in the Matrix. I get a bad setup, but I draw into the nuts and play the slowest, controlling-est game I've ever played. At the end of the game (7 plots) my Tywin had 9 power on him and my house had 6. He had a Seal for a while but it was taken away by an angry blonde Targaryen.

Round 4 - Brendan MIRROR MATCH, SON: So I drove Brendan to Black Moon and he came in 2nd yesterday huzzah. I know we are playing mostly the mirror and I have an idea about what the differences are. Moral of the story is that this is the Thunderdome. We both setup Tywin/Cost Reducer/Roseroad. Overall, he outplays me and I make a number of mistakes. I waste a Hand's Judgment to try and stop him from stopping my Treachery on his Tickler. I also miscount and make a dumb play. Play bad and get punished for it.

He ends up winning though so hooray Brendan.

Next time I get to play will be once the next chapter pack comes out and this list will be irrelevant unfortunately!
