Technicality

A deck I put together because I missed messing around with Shaper nonsense. It looks a lot like a Sypcam Hayley deck, except for the notable lack of Spycams. As such, we're missing that deck's set-up time, as well as its "look before you leap" approach to running.

Early to mid-game, you want to get a Panchatantra out and start spamming Sharpshooters and Deus X's. Clone Chips / SMC / DaVinci / Hayley's ability all speed up the spamming process, Beth / Patron / Astrolabe / Diesel draw you things to spam, and Tech Trader / Technical Writer make the whole process economically worthwhile. Don't worry too much about holding on to breakers, just keep the pressure up on remotes, and occasionally HQ if you think there are agendas there.

Of course, this is not a long-term sustainable strategy, and eventually you'll run out of things to trash. Worse still, your tech-based econ will dry up. And that's why this deck secretly contains a long term rig! Vamadeva will get you through a huge amount of ice at great value, Panchatantra-Gingerbread will hit the spots Vamadeva misses, and Magnum Opus is there to pay for it all.

A few notes/disclaimers:

  • It's easy to assume Magnum Opus must installed early to be effective. That's not the case here; tempo is king these days, and Mopus is too much of a tempo hit when you're setting up. The time to install is mid-late game, after Tech Traders have made you a load of credits but before you run out of one-shot breakers.
  • I don't play online much, and haven't actually face the dread CtM. So I don't what you do in that matchup. Lose, pobably.
  • Sadyojata is only here to keep Vamadeva company, and I should probably replace it with a Clot or a Scrubber.

I don't play online much, and haven't actually face the dread CtM. So I don't what you do in that matchup. Lose, probably.

If you stick to the casual room, you actually don't face CtM that often. Come join us if you'd like!

But for what it is worth, you have outlined my strategy against CtM exactly and it has worked out pretty well for me so far.
