Brad_Defacto 90

This is my first place decklist for the tournament. Cards up to Upstalk were legal for this tournament. 28 people

The tournament was organized by Nels and Jesse from the Terminal 7 Podcast

prize: Summer game night kit. lost one game in the final of 5 rounds of swiss against a PE kill deck.

econ is important in our meta, so I put an armitage. I had no plascrete; we hardly see any scorch. If I do see a scorch deck, I just try to play around snares. Winning the econ battle using security testing and kati is usually enough for the win.

one of the best things about zu is that it is cheap to install. Often, while I have a killer and a fracter out, the corp will attempt to score behind a remote involving a low str code gate. A turn that is: Special order, zule, install run is quite strong. The three credits saved on the install (vs gordian) gets me points when sometimes I can't get points. This makes up for the fact it is just plain worse than gordian once out.

Sounds reasonable. I like the Passport/Zu matchup. Have you had an issue with trashed programs? I guess a faerie or sucker can power shutdown,

@AsteriskCGY There is a lot of protection from power shutdown. Faeries and datasuckers are basically economy cards, they aren't normally required for breaking subroutines. If they are hellbent on power shutdowning things, it reasonable to install the passport purely as zu shutdown protection.

if someone went, score breaking news -> bad times then on a following turn shutdown they might hit something good. I'm not sure if this is to be played around.

I typically like to have 2 datasuckers out to lower the cost of whichever central I feel like pressuring, but I could see holding one back if I was fearing bad times.
