NSW qualifier results

[J]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

Just got back from the NSW qualifiers in Sydney. Going into the final
the order was
Jason Tampake - Weenie Presence Vote
John Merton - Alastor/Anathema Big Guys with Assault Rifles
Shane Schneider - Weenie Potence
Julian Gatt - PRE/obf stealth bleed
Ashley South - PRO wall with AUS support

In the game the predator/prey relationship was
Julian -> Ashley -> Shane -> John -> Jason

After many attempted deals, most revolving around the killing of Shane,
the Weenie Potence ended up taking the table and the final.

Final Standings
1st - Shane Scheider 4VP
2nd - Julian Gatt 1VP
3rd - Jason Tampake
4th - John Merton
5th - Ashley South

Here is the deck that I was playing which took 1GW and 6VP going into
the final.

Hy Folks..

Do you mind about posting the Deck List of the Winner (Weenie
Potence), I have made one deck like this... but i'm having problems on
winning.

I really believe on this concept, so i need some inspiration!!

A little help, please!

I couldn't tell you much of what was in it, other than increased
strength, torn signpost, immortal grapple and undead strength - but
then what else is there in weenie potence.

I don't know if Shane reads this, but the tournie organiser, David Vega
does, and he requested Deck Lists off everyone before the event, so he
certainly has Shane's deck.

Well, there's the flung junk decks, y'know.

I'm curious if anyone has tried something along the lines of
Torn/maneuvers/Earthshock. It costs a blood but the opponent can't
dodge, leaving s:ce only as a hoser. And the blood cost can be
compensated in may ways. Is it worth when compared to plain
maneuvers/flung junk?

One more advantage over flung junk is that it can be played at close,
meaning not so much a reliance for maneuvers.

yeah, blood management is more an issue, but flack jackets/tastes
should deal with that...

I do have his deck list but currently no "okay" to post it.

It's a pretty straight forward Potence Weenies with Computer Hack deck
which I can state since that is what he played on the day - lots of
potence, lots of computer hack.

Sorry I didn't personally post the results (thank you J) however I've
been in and out of a doctor's office since the tournament.

Apart from that ...

It was a fantastic day. We had a good third of the players that were
out of towners. There was a mix of weenie/anti-weenie/trick decks. My
favourite of the day is hard to decide. I did like J's Heart of the
City deck - surprised that she only got AI'ed twice all day. The Undue
Influence deck was something I had been working on myself so I was
interested in Josh's. He did a decent job, however he still has to
learn how to play the table as opposed to just wiping out his prey and
then getting whacked on by everyone else.

Most of the other decks I had seen in some incarnation before:
Weenie Obf
Weenie Pot
Weenie Vote (just border-line weenie with 4-caps in there)
Weenie Assamite Bleed
Blood Brother Bloat
Alastors (the vote not the starter from KMW)
Disguised Big Weapons/Intercept Wall

.... are those off the top of my head.

I did find that some players were not content with a game win (not all
VPs) but rather wanted the game win with a sweep. This led to timing
out which was unfortunate.

It has been one of the smoothest qualifiers I've run, with most of the
warnings being issued for sloppy play (ex. playing charming lobby
without the vote card).

Regards,
David

If you're afraid of getting archoned, why play stealth bleed? That's
my motto. The deck bled hard and bled fast getting the first oust of
the day, and also involved in the quickest game of the day. What I'm
even more surprised about is that I was only flicked twice in the day
as well, and that in 2 of the games I was ousted by my own decks on
loan to other players.

I never go for the sweep. If it falls in my lap, then it falls in my
lap, but generally I find that stops me getting the win.

....without the vote card in hand, you mean?

I'm pretty sure you just announce what the vote is _going_ to be when
you play a charming lobby, and then only if it is not blocked do you
then have to actually play the vote card.

Warning was in regards to having the card in hand.

The issue I find with this card and similar (Jack of Both Sides,
Concealed Weapon etc) is that they can replace the initiator and unless
someone is watching their hand, can use the top decked card.

We tend to play both together during social play ... or at least place
the card on the table face down in front of the charming lobby before
we replace the initiator.
