This weekend at JustPlay we had our Christmas Party, part of which was a Destiny tournament which turned out to be quite sizeable at 16 players! A brilliant showing - the free cake might have made all the difference!

The structure we have been running for all of our Destiny events so far has been the following

• Swiss Pairing
• 75 minute matches
• Each match is best of three games
• At the end of the round time, players take 5 more turns after the currently active player has finished his turn

So with 16 players, we played 4 rounds of Swiss with a cut to top 4.

Players getting stuck in on round 1!

We had a really varied field taking part in the event, with some surprising decks having good success - the Destiny meta will be a varied one, not just Han/Rey and Vader/Raider as some people would have you believe! Here's a meta breakdown from the event:

• Elite General Grievous, Count Dooku
• Elite General Grievous, Jango Fett
• Elite Padme, Rebel Trooper x2
• Elite Kylo Ren, Storm Trooper x2
• Darth Vader, Storm Trooper x2
• Elite Kylo Ren, General Grievous
• Elite General Veers, Nightsister x2
• Bala-Tik, Nightsister, Storm Trooper x2 
• Elite Leia Organa, Elite Rey
• Elite Han Solo, Leia Organa
• Elite Grievous, Kylo Ren
• Elite Rey, Padawan x2
• Elite Kylo Ren, Darth Vader
• Nightsister x2, Storm Trooper x2
• Elite Rey, Elite Qui-Gon Jinn
• Elite Rey, Elite Han Solo 

After 4 rounds of Swiss the final standings looked like this:

Here are the decklists from the top 4 competitors:

Ian and Phil made it to the finals beating the top two Swiss finishers - both semi finals were rematches from the Swiss rounds that both of the winners had previously lost. A Hero vs Villain final was on the cards, and you can check it out below on our YouTube channel - there's also a winners' interview and deck tech!
