Tzimisce Newsletter: June 1999
Tourney Report
Gamex 99: Los Angeles, California, May 29-30 -After building decks ‘til dawn Friday night, driving from Columbia to Charlotte to catch the 8 am flight to LA, I was off and ready for two days worth of non-stop Jyhad play. I figured I could sleep for 4 hrs on the plane. As the story goes, I wasn’t able to sleep at all on the flight. It seems, it’s against USAir policy to spread two handfuls of native soil on your seat, thus leading to my inability to obtain any type of useful rest on the flight.
So how’d the Tzimisce Fair? You may ask.
The performance of my little Tzimisce stealth & bleed deck gained only marginal success missing the finals of tournament one, by only a ½ VP. In the two rounds played, the deck gained 1 VP each round due to the playing of Life Boon when my predator got ousted. In general, things were working well for the deck, but the inability to draw a War Ghoul, made play a little dull.
In tournament three, round one, I encountered another Tzimisce deck. It appeared be an intercept/combat deck/The Great Wall of Flesh. It gained a ½ VP in that round, as the table went to time. I wasn’t able to track it in the second round, but I don’t believe it made it to the finals. :(
Have you played a Tzimisce deck in a tournament lately? If you have let me know, and I’ll put results in the following newsletters.
