It certainly came down to a case of who got the better rares at times. Razor came a bit over-confident being previously the only sealed deck winner, from the only sealed tournament. As the packs were opened, several cheers came up as lots of good cards were uncovered, such as Q and Jean-Luc Picard by Benji and Betazoid Gift Box by Bockers. Wolfe seemed to be enjoying watching the two leaders in the rankings laugh over their cards, as Razor stared in dismay at his rares from the packs, four out of the five of them being missions, most of them too hard to do with the personnel he had. The first round took the longest for Razor and Wolfe after slow starts and long turns, ending with the two nearly exhasting their decks. Razor made his last attempt to try and get the scores closer, only to lose his main ship in the process. All through the day, major plays and interesting dilemma combos seemed to make the field fairly even, and in the end, Admiral Benji came out clearly as the victor, gaining his third FLF tournament win. Then all there was left to do was a bit of trading, some chuckles about cards and plays, and PIZZA! It looks like the new Tournament Sealed Decks are a winner with pretty much everyone.
