SWISS

Lost late in Swiss to a villian Shadowcaster deck that ruined my R1 with FILP and Probe and to a Talzin/Fist deck, both were later in Top 8.

TOP 8

Game one to Solo Sabine with Tenacity and NTMTO for the crushing defeat of DV. Games two and three to my pair thanks to me habitually claiming, even sometimes with dice of mine to resolve, just to get Vader rolled in and to stay ahead of Tenacity. Maybe it wasn't the right call, maybe Vader's dice were hot, but he never got Tenacity off again in G2 or G3.

TOP 4

Top 4 was versus the eventual eSnoke/eTarkin winner of the day. Classic stuff from him of making money, putting out the Fist and putting my own damage back on me. Best moment of each game since I was always behind was laying down Mind Trick just see Ian squirm for a minute.

CARDS

*Boundless Ambition - Played it once all day. Been playing +2 Trust Your Instincts since regional.

*Mind Trick - Fabulous mitigation, would love to run two but DV needs money for the First and sabers

*Med Chamber - Didn't play any mill but I put it down a few times to stretch Vader out and get a card. The extra card was niiiiice. Dropped it since regional.

*As You Command - I made this work on a several occasions when Greedo rolled a 1 or 2 without HDLY in hand to guarantee DV on at least a 3 melee.

*FIHP - Saved me too many times to go into Rise Again. Complete dud going into mitigation cards 3-4 times. Sad to see this go in rotation.

Lessons learned - > FIST first or die!!!
