HB's Suprise Delux

I used this in a beginners tournament which restricted us to one Core plus one Deluxe.

The basic idea was a two pronged approach of fast advancing with Sansan City Grid and Biotic Labor. The second was a surprise SEA Source Scorched earth if they ever dropped below four cards, helped along by giving them brain damage through tyr's hand.

As it turns out i was overly reliant on a steady and plenty full economy to rez some of the more fun ice and without a strong economy i wasn't able to protect myself against a well set up runner that could cheaply trash my assets. My second game with this deck was timed out after ten minutes of play as our first game ran long. I ended with six agendas to their four and counted as a draw, I was really enjoying the fast pace and tension the game, almost wanting the runner to find an agenda.

The last game with this deck was ridiculous and i was plain lucky. I had scored (i think, I will take notes next time) four agenda's early on and had a three pointer in hand. The runner had three points when my one piece of ice protecting R&D was trashed. This allowed the runner to hit it with their Medium hard and often. Not having any ice in hand decided to put down the three pointer and due to the tension i can't remember clearly what happened but it ended with a medium with eight tokens on it that found nothing and i was able to score out my last agenda. A great game

In the end I came second overall and really enjoyed the experience.
