Hot Tub Time Machine!

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse...

Yesssss, join the NRDB dark side >=)

Glad to see that Dan has ditched meteor and continued the NRDB tradition of shitposting memes in the description.

Guys I didn't ditch meteor I just wanted to partake in the janklord shitposting so I could win dotw for once :(

Thats what they all say at first. NRDB is like a drug, the first DOTW is always free...

Saw this on your Meteor, but the version with Government Takeover, looks like a blast. You don't think the 3rd Scorched is needed?

I guess I don't see how you use Construction Co. to score two in one turn. Sure, I don't doubt you could have the money, but who would let it build so many counters? In my testing, if it wasn't in a glacier (and also the runner didn't have a full rig), they'd trash it at 2 to 3 counters.

@ManBunBattyif the runner gets to game point, they could theoretically stop running for a very long time, making it impossible for you to SEA scorch them. Construction Co gives you a way to force them to run so you can murder them.

Dan, I hate you for this.

Just thought you'd like to know.

World Champion, World Champion, Deck of the Week (for once) ;)

No sleeves in the time machine.

I guess I'll have to sleeve up the Au Revoir Beckman deck :)

Fifteen credits per turn should be enough to outpace this monstrosity if I can keep the turtles/bankers in check.

Welcome to the Guru Davinder + Apocalypse meta?

Awesome deck man!! Such a great combo of everything !!

@FarCryFromHumanGuru doesn't work against Hostile Infrastructure. Each net damage is separate so that's... a lot of 4c triggers.

Sacrificial Clone is about the only thing I can think of short of a Scrooge McDuck money bin of credits + Guru Davinder/Feedback Filter that could get you through Apocalypse alive vs. this deck.

Clone doesn't work righ either

Errrr work

It's not a good solution to anything. I guess Deus X also works here - or is that any amount of net damage from a single instance, whereas Hostile Inf gains "x" instances of 1 net damage per "x" cards trashed?

Deus will not stop hs damage from apoc gor the same reason, because each damage is applied like komainu rather than like cortex lock or katana. Feedback and guru are the only realisg solutions but you need massive duckets to prevent enough to not kill you.

With duckets those massive why are you even running still just start your own damn corp

I recommend being Whizzard

Spoken like a criminal @GrantZilla1979 Some of us run to tear down the establishment, some of us run for fortunes, some of us run as an expression of who we are. Some of us even run because we have to, or for those we love, or because we hate everything and everyone.

Is 8 ICE really enough? With all the Whizzards sporting Medium and Ice destruction around, they can just simply ignore your gameplan and dig through R&D like there's no tomorrow. Am I wrong here? Or it's just that you need to actively defend against it and snipe these tools from their hand?

8 ICE is fine: medium is a huge tempo hit for the runner and usually lets you find ICE in the next couple of turns off heritage comm

two time world champ posts a deck with power grid overload in it

Thank you Dan for showing exactly how good the deck-of-the-week system is. :)

So when you say: "When you use MCH, look at the top 3 cards for the things you need at the time to secure the midgame. Good finds include more ICE, Tech Startups, Hostiles, Banker's Groups, and the pieces of your kill combo for later."

What do you mean? MCH can't search for any of your ICE, tech startups, hostiles, banker's groups, SEA, or scorched. None of those are alliance cards. So I'm confused on that point.

@IcehawkThe "search" in MCH let's you look at your deck and decide whether you want to use Heritage Committee to draw the top three cards (which you now know what they are) or fetch any other Alliance card instead. I'd take it that is what he means.

serious question, but probably silly- how does this deck meet the influence requirements, given Mumba Temple and Museum of History's influence requirement? The influence alone of the other cards is 21.. Am I missing something here?

duff: all the alliance cards (mumba temple, museum of history, heritage committee, salem's hospitality) cost 0 influence if certain deck-building requirements are met, which Dan has purposefully done to avoid having to pay influence on these cards.

Councilman/multiples gives a chance in the Apocalypse matchup. You still have to have the 5x credits (where x=number of Hostile Infrastructures rezzed that turn) ready to go, but either the corp has to see the Apoc coming and pre-rez the HIs before the Apoc turn (giving you a window to go trash them) or you can avoid the hit.

Or, alternately, the binder-fodder Leverage, with some ability that gives you extra clicks/Doppelgänger. If they don't give you damage immunity from the Hostiles, then you suddenly have 2 bad pub to go start trashing all their assets!

Wait, wait. If you use Heritage Committee off of Mumbad City Hall, you resolve the "draw 3, put one back" before you shuffle from MCH? So you already know what cards you're drawing before you choose Heritage? That is crazy.

@ManBunBatty- at which point they've run, and you SEA Scorch them.

@duff- They're alliance cards, which means they don't cost influence if you meet certain deckbuilding constraints. E.g. this is a 54 card deck, so Museum of History is influence free. In this deck, this means the influence costs from Museum of History, Mumba Temple, Salem's Hospitality and Heritage Committee are all free.

@mediohxcore- what's the purpose of Executive Search Firm in this deck? The only targets for it are Jackson Howard and Elizabeth Mills - are they both critical enough to need to be able to tutor for them?

Just Elizabeth mills to kill Slums ASAP. You can tutor ESF with MCH and then Mills with ESF. The fact that it has click: draw jackson is mostly just bonus so it isn't totally donothing otherwise.

I cant see how you can deal with whizzard here..

@mohaymen It installs too many assets for Whizzard to keep up, and anything he trashes you can recycle with Museum.

@kollapse, I don't think that's what @mediohxcoremeans. If you use MCH to search you must shuffle:

"Search If a player is searching for a card, he or she must find the card, if able. If a player is unable to fulfill the condition of the search, then nothing happens, but the deck is always reshuffled. "

I'm fairly certain he means use MCH to find and play HComm to prepare for the midgame.

@Katsushika MCH shuffles, of course, but not until you have used/installed a card with it. So you look at the entire deck, including the top 3 cards, decide if you want to use Heritage Committee to draw them (and then shuffle) or install another alliance card with MCH (effectively shuffling away the top 3 cards you didn't want anyway). So if any of the top 3 cards are those cards needed in the mid-game, you use Heritage and draw them. If not, you install another alliance card forcing a shuffle - enabling the Heritage seeing new cards the next turn as well.

MCH let's you find Heritage, as you say, but you don't have to choose which Alliance to use before seeing the deck and deciding if those top cards are what you need right now.

Ah, thanks for the clarification :)

What would this deck look like now? -3 influence and BOOM now around.
