Rogue Tagging at King of Subways

strube 156

When Rogue Trading came out the first thing I did was test it out in my tagme shell I worked on leading up to Worlds and it preformed well. Then I switched the ID to MaxX and the sparks started to fly. CTM and AgInfustion can be tough match ups and Skorp can lucksack if you mill the wrong cards but otherwise you will probably just win. Not sure what the fate of this archetype will be with new Scorch so enjoy it while it lasts.

Tech Cards:

By Any Means is hard to play but is really just a tech card for CTM - Play it and clear the foods and qpms they are putting on the board to feed you.

Amped Up is A+ in a tagme Obelus deck - Play it for value or to help on a combo turn (maybe to play a Levy or interdiction first)

Rebirth smooths out an otherwise rocky skorp matchup if you are able to draw it.

Interdiction keeps you from getting blown out by CVS, Bio Vault, and other spooky upgrades

Every bad ice that punishes a big grip or lots of tags with more subs is a sentry so Shrike is worth a slot. Those ice aren't really in favor at the moment so this could be swapped with a MKUltra to free up influence.

2x Black Orchestra - Skorp is a thing and in getting locked out with Hortum sucks.

My KoS team-mate (and newer player) piloted this to a 3-1-1 record losing to a Biotic Boom! Boom! (oof) and time tied a CTM after a surprise CVS blew her out.

I'll add that Rebirthing into Freedom when he comes out should be super strong and likely a good out against CTM since most of their tag punishment can easily be blown away with his ability.

What are you re-birthing in to and why?

Can you talk a little about that?

Thanks!

Against Skorpios I rebirth mostly to turn off Maxx - I think Freedom, Omar, or maybe Quetzel if that's relevant is good there.

Against CTM or other asset decks rebirthing into Freedom is great Knock out the assets or tag punishment cards with your constant source of God of War counters.

Against AgInfusion you probably just want Omar since you are probably just going to be remote locking and getting some kind of pressure on centrals is good.
