What the dude did was seed 16 HAs, 12 of which were Plans of... (pick one). On his firsat turn he flipped all 12, downloaded 12 espionnage cards, and played a lot of remodulations (discarding the espionnages and drawing his deck). Then for his card play he reported Vash to his outpost. After that he discarded STP and dropped a FE with every Fed/NA AU personnel and Q-Bypassed Hunt for DNA, and Wormhole Negotiations (Both of which got Hide and seeked by me) so as a backup he had Cultural Observation and Pegasus Search (Both Bypassed- I was out of H&S) to win the game on turn 1 or 2. It angered me because I had my best draw of the day in that game (a loaded cube out on my turn 2) and he beat me onj his turn 2. But I wont get into that because I dont wanna get banned for abusing the language filters...

At any rate, I expect this deck to pop up again especially now that its known. I would also like to congratulate Dave Bowling for beating this guy in the last round to put him out of the final. It goes to show that a good player can beat any type of cheese deck.
