Congratulations! Well made, man! What kind of runners did you beat at the greeks?

What happened to the Sub Boost?

RSVP seems fantastic with Nisei Division. I fully support not going all-in on the psi-games strategy, especially since most psi-game cards are bad, but Snowflake at least seems usable. Why Himitsu-Bako over it? Just Parasite/Knight protection?

Ditto, I'm suprised by the lack of snowflakes and Batty. Are you sure you wouldn't get more from biotech or RP (not to mention the upcoming Plana Foods)?

@Dzerards I knew I had something wrong...I hate transferring card by card decklists :| It's x1 less Yagura and +1 Sub Boost!

@rembrandt I went up against Kate, Noise, Whizzard and Leela. Beat all of them! ^^

@whirrun it is indeed a way to go, and Replicating Perfection is by far a better choice for big tournaments. I say that, even though I love Nisei Division because the click compression that RP creates is incomparable to what Nisei Division can do. I rely mostly on my skills in psi games when it comes to the Caprice psi games. For example, Sundew alone creates such a huge click compression cuz of the fact that they waste half a turn just to negate a huge economy boost for the rest of the corp's game.

@Bigguyforyou518 I really want to try it with snowflakes instead of Himitsu Bako! I just wasn't ballsy enough to do it for the Nationals! :D

I know Nisei Division is your jam Costa, but I'm not sure I understand why you kept the ID after all these changes. You've got a whole 6 psi games assuming they don't have a Film Critic on board. With Scorch gone you don't have any reason to run Cerebral Cast. Would you switch to RP in the future, or are the improved Caprices worth that much?

Either way, congrats!

This really seems like it wants Marcus Batty and a punishing subroutine behind RSVP.

@Chuftbot exactly. As I said in my report, I recognize RP as the better meta choice. It's just so good and I love the click compression it creates. However, I like to be a special snowflake and roll with my Nisei Division. As many good perks as Nisei Division can have, it's not as strong as RP in my opinion. I just try to work with them and do something a lil different.

You can see I don't use that many psi cards just because most of them are pretty weak. Clairvoyant is easily broken by Yog and costs too much to rez. Mamba is a 6 rez cost - 4 strength sentry. I'd rather have a Snoop which I love so much and is a 6-6. Marcus Batty is only a one time protection and way to easy to trash if found on R&D, I don't like having more than 3-4 cards that are easy to trash on R&D, otherwise I'll get destroyed if R&D is exposed at any time during the game. Snowflake is the only thing I'd try again instead of the Himitsu Bakos, just cuz they can work as Pop-up Windows when I really want them to and they are 1 cred more taxing for Corroder.

But yes, the deck will keep changing and I will try out some other shenanigans with it in the near future. Probably a different agenda suite again, although the Nisei MK IIs work wonders.
