Biotech GNK Winner @ Alphaspel, Stockholm 21 players

gejben 523

Went 5-0 during the day. Faced 2 Kate, 1 Kit, 1 CT and 1 Edward Kim.

Goes all in greenhouse and rushing Nisei MK II's. Last change I made to the deck was adding Chimera and Fast Track, they have both been very good for me.

Hey Gejben,

I really like this deck, very classy design. How were the sweeps weeks?

@chill84 they've ben good. I find myself quite often low on money early due to psi-games and Chimera so It's really nice to have a cheap hedge fund. Since I'ts Jinteki the runner likes to keep a full grip.

I also don't want to use the Celebrity Gift before I scorea the first Nisei MK II to give away my plan.

Been thinking about switching out PAD Campaign for Mental Health Clinic to make them Better, but then it becomes very obviously that I'm not going for The Brewery. However that doesn't matter for too long.

I was thinking the economy over a bit, I like pads higher trash cost better than the clinic. I dislike that celebrity gifting in this deck is riskier than when playing RP, I dislike that you can't install advance on the same turn that you gift. At the same time you can't really play restructure reliably either. Do you think celebrity gift hurts the speed of this deck?

@chill84 Maybe, but it has also saved me quite a lot of times. Really don't know what I would switch it out for, but I see your point and agree (almost lost one of the games by stupidly showing 2 Nisei MK II that got stolen the next turn, managed to score 2 The Future Perfect and Genetic Resequencing) . Maybe Medical Research Fundraiser would be a better idea?

Well, Celebrity Gifts is amazing - it might be easier to play cards that make it safer/better than to play something like fundraiser (pup, pop-up, trash pad for 1 etc.). In RP you have caprice, taxing centrals, and interns-caprice that make gifts always great.

I'd have to mull it over because it would take the deck in a different direction.

Changing up the ICE a bit might be worth considering just for a batty or two (maybe vipers instead of pop-ups for example) - I'm leaning away from this because it splits you between rushing a nisei and setting up for mid-game.

-or-

Adding something bad to show like snare or psychic field. This seems more reasonable because installed cards before the flip are threatening and might give you free gene-sequencing after the flip. The down-side is basically just deck slots. Snare is probably the best choice if the 4 cost is manageable.

@chill84 Yeah, batty is definitely going in, will be great with excalibur after nisei is scored.

Will see what I change, thanks for your input. If you try it out I will be glad to hear how it worked and what you changed =)
