Capa Cup is really fun event that supports the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. If you’re in the area, consider attending next year, you can find more info at capacup.net. The Destiny Prime Championship had about forty players so would be seven rounds with a cut to Top 8.

A bunch of my games were on stream at the event, you can find them on twitch.tv/arrowbrookgaming and twitch.tv/goldendicepodcast.

I ended up going 5-2 in swiss, with losses to Paul on Palpatine and the top seed, Reylo. In top 8, I played against Joe who we drove to the event with. He was on Ewoks and Thrawn really shone in this matchup. I was able to pull some of his burn cards so that they couldn’t be played against me, eventually playing a Rigged Detonation against him for 4 damage that pretty much sealed the game.

In Top 4 I was matched up against Hinkbert from Discard to Reroll who was playing Aphra/General Grievous/Sentinel Messenger. In game 1 he opened with double Desperate Measures, which I knew about because of a counterintelligence. When he played a BT-1, I used Thrawn to play his Desperate Measures, but knowing that he had the second one, I wasn’t able to play my own supports. Eventually he was able to ramp out more supports than I could deal with and took game 1.

Game 2, my deck was running at peak efficiency where I was able to use his Delves to ramp out my supports and overwhelm the board. Game 3, I felt like I was really far ahead with a Megablaster Toopers and Fist to his droid. He had a Scorched Earth that I knew about, but kind of dismissed because I wasn’t on Palpatine. Eventually he was able to get back up to 2 resources and deal 6 with the Scorched Earth, which ended up being the difference in the game. The game still came down to 1 damage and me misreading/remembering Hinkbert’s decklist. I thought he had two Act of Cruelty, which I could have played with Thrawn’s ability to win. When it wasn’t there he was able to resolve his damage for lethal.

Really well played by Hinkbert and congratulations to him on the win!
