Redi Spades 8

I have long been trying to work out a deck that can successfully use Because We Built It and I feel that this deck hits the mark. While I have a fun time playing this deck, it would be too slow to play during timed tournament rounds because this deck goes for the long run with little to know thought of one or two lost agendas. Most of the time, this deck uses Jackson to juggle the Agendas out of your hand into archives and back into R&D, so you want to put your best ICE in front of R&D at the beginning of the game. As a back up though, it could be a good idea to give leave 6 points in archives for the Runner to steal, only to punch him or her in the face with a painful Punitive Counterstrike.

Looks like a solid advancing deck bro. If you're going for the long run and advancing everything, would Simone Diego and Trick of Light earn a slot here?

Caviat, I'm no BWBI expert by any means...

I used to have Trick of Light in the deck, but I quickly found that runners with high economy or self funding rigs would easily bypass ICE by the time I was trying to score. So I decided that the traps were more valuable. Make them pay dearly for what they thought was a safe run. The snares keep them second guessing and the aggressive secretaries can be devastating late game.

As far as Simone Diego, I run into the same problem that I have always hit with Because We Built It: It still cost a click to use that advancement counter. That means to get even one credits worth out of it, I have to advance twice in one round, because my ID gives me more freedom. I feel that this would be a card that I would use once or twice... Granted, I could use this for Agendas, but by that time I am already swimming in money.

makes sense. I guess I would use Trick of Light and Shipment from Kagyuas to get better Commercialization use, pairing them with Constellation Protocol...not necessarily to score since you run 5/3s. Trick also makes it so your AgSecs aren't wasted if the runner doesn't bite on the trap. But the influence is the issue with Trick. Can BWBI finally get a win? I'm rooting for the underdog IDs as the Store Championship season closes out.
