Lockdown 8: Building a Blocky World

mcg 1061

For Lockdown 8 corps I had no ideas. A lot of win conditions were banned, and I've done a lot of the "pick a bad ID and try and do something with them" thing. Lacking inspiration I returned to one of my old pet decks, Red blood something. It's very simple and sometimes effective, just like me.

With Border Control banned I thought a good companion for my pet deck was a pet card, so in came Blockchain. Then as Death and Taxes had to go, Beanstalk Royalties came in to keep the number of transactions up. Wall to Wall was a poor replacement for Rashida Jaheem. High-Risk Investment was an even poorer replacement for SSL Endorsement. I managed to score three of them and not use any of the tokens. Achievement unlocked?

Even with those limitations, in the tournament it won 3 out of 4 in Swiss, its one defeat being a painful game against @longi were I drew my first Wall to Wall just as he was winning the game. And it won its only game in the cut; averting the Apocalypse due to a Slot Machine disguised as a Hortum plus a very-expensive-but-worth-it Blockchain on Archives. Fun times were had once more. Thanks to @Vesper for organising as always.
