PE Rush, 6th place WarBoar SC, 2-4

This didn't do quite so well on the day, though it had been designed to put some serious hate on Whizzard and his ilk. The idea was to rush agendas out behind cheap ice, using caprice to score out quickly, the net damage hitting the runner's tempo and often enabling me to jump to 4 or 6 points before they even realised that this wasn't a Cambridge style deck. Did very well in testing on Jinteki, winning about 90% of games. In the tournament... well it turns out, DLR or siphon recursion shut this deck down horribly, which is what happened. It managed to beat a siphon spam Maxx in the cut, and beat a Noise during Swiss. Lost horribly to a DLR siphon spam Leela, and also to a siphon spam keyhole Maxx, where I just didn't see anything I needed at all. Two VERY close games were lost as well, one against a Noise deck that started to run out of cards and was struggling with Caprice, and another game where Whizzard medium dug me for ten cards, I popped Jackson to put 2 snares and a fetal back in (there were about 18 cards left in the deck), ensuring he would see ten new cards, and he didn't see a single one of the three snares or two fetals. Infuriating.

This is very much a work in progress. On the day, there were two hokusai grids and no shocks, but it feels like there is something to this idea. Very similar to @CodeMarvelous and Alex White's Bed Brew deck, which was in fact where I got the idea for pop up windows from.

Any thoughts on it are very much welcome!
