DDM Constructed 200 point 08/26/2006

Here's a tournament report for a 200 point Constructed DDM tournament we had on 08/26/2006. This was a tournement where I won a near auto-loss matchup of Triple Large Green Dragons against Tony's Arcane Ballista build. The original thread is located here:

So today was our local sanctioned tourny for the week. Earlier this week I had debated to run either Quad Belchers or 3 Dragon Ante. Well, with my Belchers still not here from ebay, it made it an easy decision. So I ran the following:

3 Dragon Ante
LGD x 3
Urthok the Vicious
Dire Rat
Kobold Miners x 3
on Drow Outpost

The past few 200 point tournies that I've ran 3DA in, it was always very close to winning, usually with a missed morale or a crit from someone swinging it in the other direction. So far it's done very well and I'm surprised to have a pretty good record with it.

First round I draw Dale. Dale is running a Tordek, Warpriest of Moradin, War Weaver band. We end up playing on his map, Dungeon of Blood. First round we position a bit with Tordek basing a Dragon. Second round I damage Tordek up a bit with a few breath weapons and some attacks while he wears down the dragon he'd based. Next round he wins init and further wears down the Dragon he had injured and then crits it with a Snake Swiftness from the War Weaver to kill it. I was then able to take Tordek down a few rounds later. After that it was cleaning up the remnants of his army. 1-0

Second round I get Hope. Hope is a local's girlfriend who's been playing for a little while. She was running Couatl, Justice Archon x 3, Rikka, Cleric of Order, and filler. We played on my map, the Outpost. First round we move up. Second round I get off all 3 BWs and catch the Couatl and all 3 Justice Archons in them. The Justice Archons make all their saves except for 3 of them. With a 6 save she was rolling high. So after that it was back and forth with me getting some lucky breaks on a few Justice Archons and her hitting me on a pretty regular basis. Rikka joined the party in Round 4 I think and after that I was able to eventually get up on points and kill off the Cleric to put me over 200.2-0

Third round I run into the band I wanted to avoid. Tony (Visage) was running Coautl, War Weaver, Arcane Ballista, Sword of Heironeious, Mailee, Sacred Watcher x 2 on Dragondown. I needed 2 rolls to go my way, Map and Side. We roll and I get Map so we're on the Outpost. Then I beat him by 1 on the Side roll so I go for the outpost side. First round we position a bit with him coming down along the cave side next to his Exit. Second round I move up and base the Ballista with 2 Dragons. He Dimension hops out of it and lights up one Dragon, putting him at 5 after an attack and a SS. Even without seeing Urthok I passed morale. That Dragon lights up the Sword who he was based with. I then use my BWs to do some damage to the Ballista, Couatl, and War Weaver. After that it's positioning between us. I get him cornered so that he can't move without touching a Dragon and get rid of the Ballista. A second dragon checks and once again makes morale without Urthok. After that I got the Couatl to half with both Dragons on it and it failed to give me the game. 3-0

Fourth round I get another Tordek build. Allen was playing Tordek, Village Priest, Dwarf Artificer, Merc. Sargent, and Dire Bear. We play on my map. I get the cave side and first round we move up with me denying him tile points. Second round he clears out a few kobold miners and moves Tordek in for an attack on a Dragon. After that I light up Tordek and the Dire Bear with some BWs. The Dire Bear fails them and routes off the board. Tordek gets down to 55. Next round he gets a Dragon to half and I roll a 1 on it for the morale check and it runs off the board. I move over another Dragon and give Tordek some love and with a crit in there, I get him down to 5 hps. Next round I get Tordek and then it's clean up as I get the rest of his army with my Dragons and get over 200 with Tile points. 4-0

So, the Dragons finally pulled it out. After a few tries they finally win a tournament. We had 10 people so we drafted from 2 WODQ boosters. The rares were a BGON and Golden Protector with a Mountain Troll and BlueSpawn GodSlayer as the huges. I took first and got the BGON. Three Dragon Ante, it's got potential. :D
