Piloted this to 11th place at the recent regional in Springfield, Ohio. Was planning on playing Han/Qi'ra right up until the day before when I tested a bit more and didn't like the match up.

Round 1: Han Solo - Independent Hotshot and Qi'Ra - Street Savvy. Was pretty surprised to see this. First match up and got to play a deck I know inside out. Got Grand Moffround 1 and was able to control the game from there. By round 3 had Vader's Fist and TIE Fighters on the board. Win 1-0.

Round 2:Maz Kanata - Pirate QueenRex - Clone CaptainClone Trooper. Had never played this deck before but knew the idea behind it. Ended up being the craziest game of the day. He got Rex's Blaster Pistol first turn and every time he was activating hit me for 3 or 4. Knee he had a defensive position and I rolled 2 2s with Thrawn. Had to call 1 and that's when I saw the Hyperspace Jumps. Got time walked and he rolled in again. I used Thrawns last action to pull the 2nd hyperspace. Was able to use a Rocket Launcher to put Maz away and got a Separatist Landing Craft to pop a Battle Droid out. Game ended up Trooper vs Battle Droid. Thought I had it locked up when I hit his Overkill with a Hidden Motive, but it missed all 4 ranged sides. If he couldve rerolled 5 damage he would have won, but he only got 4. Had a feeling he still had mitigation so I played Stifle. He played an event to break it so i played another stifle. Rolled out and won with 1 health remaining. Win 2-0

Round 3:Bala-Tik - Gang Leader Mother Talzin - Nightsister Matriarch First Order Stormtrooper. Played one of the guys I trained with here so was kind of bummed. Managed to survive the reset and take out Bala before he could resolve all his dice a second time. Clutch play of the game was pulling a Free-For-All with a discard side that saved me about 5 damage. Battle droid saved the day here as well winning with 2 health remaining. Win 3-0.

Round 4: mirror. He got TIE Fighters and Chance Cube round 1. I got an AT-ST. The resource disparity let him grab a grand moff and I just didnt have the mitigation to keep up. Loss 3-1.

Round 5: Leia Organa - Boushh Yoda - Wizened Master. Called 2 everytime. Took the boush hits round 1 to pull out to a resource lead. Vigilance brought out hyperspace jumps early. He claimed early in the 4th without realizing snoke hadn't been activated. That was the end of Yoda. Called 3 next round to get Second Chance and put Boush away. Win 4-1.

Round 6: another mirror. We both got fist out round 1. He had the starting shields and both force illusions though. Loss 4-2

Round 7: Jyn Erso - Daring Infiltrator Cassian Andor - Rebellion Operative. He managed to mill away both fists so my only damage through the game was from TIE fighters. He had me down to my last card and I needed 7 to win. Rolled in everything but the tie with a Dorsal Turret on it hoping to get 2 resolutions. Struck out. Had to choose between rerolling my last card or going for another round. After thinking it out I realized he was probably getting his last hyperspace next turn and any Snoke focus sides wouldve won me the game. So I go for it and no focus. Got 5 indirect but my dorsal turret cant resolve. My entire tourney is hanging on hitting 1 in 6 odds on a tie fighter. We shake hands, say good game either way, and I hit the 2 indirect. Win 5-2.

Thought I had a great chance at making top 8 but the postings go up and 4th through 13th place are all 5-2. Though I'm tied for 4th record wise I end up in 11th place. Had to laugh it off but FFG needs to step up and get the amount of rounds for events correct. I beat one of the top 8 players and another one of the 5-2 players had beaten 2 of them. End of salty rant.

Even tho it was a slight disappointment it was great to see 47 people turn out to play cards. Got me really excited to be playing this game again and can't wait for the next regional.
