Glacier Gun - 2nd place Konstanz SC (5 - 1)

qvm 1921

This deck went undefeated in Swiss and dropped one game in the cut at the Seetroll store championship in Konstanz. My runner deck was Contacts & Contracts

It beat 2xLeela, Kim, Dumblefork, Adam and lost one game to Dumlefork.

In January, I had won a store championship with a similar ice/econ shell, but fast advance tech. Last week in another store championship, I went full troll and dropped the fast advance package for pure hate (Ark Lockdown, Voter Intimidation, Hellion Beta Test, Enforcing Loyalty). I got to second place in that store championship as well, but it didn't hold up well in the cut as the surprise factor was over. If you want to try that out, I suggest you only play Ark Lockdown and Enforcing Loyalty, as Voter Intimidation and Hellion are far more conditional.

This week, I thought I should be a bit more serious again. With lots of players going crim and many anarchs opting for strikes over rumor mill, I thought I could risk going full food coats again. It worked, as I only faced one opponent who played Rumor Mill. Oddly enough, Ash and Caprice Nisei were not needed in almost any game. Ice, money and agendas just did it in most games and Fairchild 3.0 wrecked runners all day long. Many people didn't even try to challenge remotes and I played only one psi game during the whole tournament. Two players didn't realize I was on food coats and were surprised to later see that I had Caprices and Ashs.

What do you think about Scarcity of Resources as your 2x current over ELP? I've generally found it to be more disruptive to the runner.

@dawspawn Good idea! Indeed, I included the current mostly to turn off Rumor Mill, so any other current woukd work. I somehow didn't consider scarcity, forgot about it. I was just taking a mental note that I don't want curfew like the CI players do, since I also want my current to do something. ELP is good though and I had one Fairchild fire because of it. Sure, let's try Scarcity, ai also hare seeing is as a runner!
