Barfing š¤® our way into a new meta!
You know youāve built a good deck when you overhear people mentioning targeted bans for it throughout the tournament.
Feels good to make each of your opponents read 2-3 cards all the way through the cut, or upwards of 7 in grands...
Didn't take grands vs ya Whiteblade, but this reversal of knowledge was fun :p

As I mentioned during the post grands interview this deck was a snap pick for me after Loup/Mulch got hit with the Knobkierie ban.
Barf has previously preformed really well for me, excluding the previous Loup/Mulch matchup, which Iād previously have put at about a 5-15% w.r. against a well-tuned and piloted Loup.
I'd suggest reading my initial Barf Thule Writeup for the basic strategies:
- 2nd CoS [NO ICE!!] Barf Thule š¤® (4-1)
The main notable change is the swap from Onto to Orbital Superiority.
Iāve also found Regolith Mining License to be a more resilient econ option, particularly against DoF where you need additional economic longevity.
This deck is like no other Iāve played. The number of play patterns, and lines playing both as and against it is absolutely fascinating to me. At times youāll need to be thinking forward like 3 turns with every single runner click option and decision point they can make.
Watching back the streamed games and seeing all the different ideas for how to approach the list was so fascinating.
The prerogative for Thule is to read your opponentās play patterns and find the exact line to drown them in the depths:
The main play patterns I see runners approach it from:
- run the board down, and trash everything
- only trash off rez'ed threats
- never trash anything
- aggressively attempt winning before you can setup
- play safe, but try to close off with a lot of multi-access
Iāve found all of these patterns winnable. Although, some are harder than others.
Most of your forks will come from MCA. Either:
- the runner will trash it, and you'll use you're punishment to push forward the end game.
- youāll use the additional clicks to kill the runner.
Variantions on Play
My fellow teammate Wentagon piloted a similar list to 6th:
-1x Gatekeeper
-1x Riot Suppression
+1x Jaguarundi
+1x Wage Workers
I personally prefer my own list, but one reason I love this list is that since there are so many play patterns itās facinating to see what others choose.
I've personally found myself forking with Orbital Superiority many of my games, and only ever scoring out once. However, I've talked to others who prefer the Ontos and actually do some score-outs.
This deck is surprisingly resilient to Maw with Spin Doctor and Gaslight. It can definitely be a big challenge if the runner has it turn 1-2, but if they canāt find it immediately you can hopefully start getting setup, and eventually use Gaslight to find what you need.
This deck doesnāt really care about runner credit totals. Itās definitely nice if the runner is low on credits and you can land an unclearable Oppo. However, the deck instead asks ādo you have enough clicks?ā, which the answer should be ānoā.

With only two ice, where do you prioritize placing it? A remote? A central? |

During Swiss I never installed a piece of ICE even in the games I found it. However, it did become critically important during the cut. |

My favourite idea about the archetype is something London said: 'Thule players need to learn the art of skipping multiple runner turns back to back' Netrunner Time Walk |

candy) clicker is a simple but very engaging game that offers a satisfying mix of clicking, upgrading, and automation. Whether your objective is to dominate the leaderboards or simply find a quick game to kill time, |

Lmao š Amazing write up! Absolutely love all the images! Congrats on the fantastic placement! I still remember when you came to me saying āso I made an asset spam Thuleā and I foolishly said āwhat is Thule really doing for an asset deck?!?? Sports or Asa has to be better rightā XD
