Fire Sale Wu 1.5

Xandorius 1506

THINGS ARE CHEAP WHEN THEY'RE ON FIRE!

After a blaze of testing this deck has been refined a fair bit. My first list was here:

After more testing, I've concluded that this deck can really pull money. Over 100 a match is common. Flame-out with Rejig is an MVP. Once the Flame-out dies you can sell it to Aesop's Pawnshop and install the next one. If you manage to play 3 copies of each, with sales to Aesop, that's almost 60 alone!

BOOSTING CONSISTENCY

Getting the econ going and the pieces in place required tweaks to the draw engine. Aniccam and Beth Kilrain-Chang. In testing I tried out DreamNet however with that and the console you end up drawing a lot more than you really need; frequently your entire deck. Dream was the weakest of the three choices so it got the cut.

Turns out that Cybertrooper Talut changes the math on the bin breakers so well that a 3x is worth it. You want to see it every match. The bonus link is a nice perk too.

AESOP ISN'T EVERYTHING

Original list ran Armitage Codebusting thinking it could be sold to Aesop in the end. Turned out to be too slow and lacklustre. Dirty Laundry takes its place as it has synergy with the console and the idea of setting your laundry on fire when making a run made me laugh too!

MULTI ACCESS - BUT HOW

The multi access and close out the game wincon is the current challenge for the deck. I've tried Khusyuk, The Turning Wheel, The Maker's Eye, and now Legwork with Stargate.

Stargate seems really strong and works well with Wu. The 2 is tough to work with though so there's a bit of support with Cyberdelia. That seems like a tempo hit, so further changes might be needed.

Any suggestions are welcome! I think this deck has some potential!

Very nice deck, I've loved this idea for quite some time now. Stargate is hard to beat but I've had some fun using Equivocation and Nyashia for deep digs.
