A Whizzard is Never Late (Whinzzip 1.0.1)

“A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.” - Some guy.

Click Compression RP won worlds this year, so I figured I'd share my click Decompression Deck. Yes, it's odd. Yes it's janky. But I'll be damned if I'm going to let the corp tell me what to do and how to run.

So first off, why Whizzard? Why not Reina or Qetzal? Easy. 3 recurring credits for annihilating asset economy and San Sans against rapid advance.

Denial is the name of the game here. You are targeting the corps most valuable assets and upgrades and taking them out.

Why Doppleganger? If I'm going to spend 2 clicks on an eventless run, I'm going to make the best of it. If I don't have to spend two clicks, it's just more pressure. Hit a server, bounce off hit an asset and kill it.

This brings me to my next point: Run Events and Run rewards. Retrieval runs let you recover from Inject, while getting a free program, a free run, and possibly a data sucker counter.

Dirty Laundry nets you 3 credits, a second run, and possibly a data sucker counter.

See a pattern? Keep the pressure on. Stimhack when you know there's something important in a server. No one is going to stop you from getting in.

These are YOUR servers. Own them. Access them Often.

R&D interfaces, imps, and Whizzard's ability help ensure that you're seeing valuables before your opponent, and denying them when possible.

Stimhack in the first time to save your credits for a possible second 3 card access off of doppleganger.

While this deck is built to be a strong counter against a certain archetype, it's ability and willingness to run often keeps it toe to toe with the others. This deck is about making the most out of a single click, even when it's turned into two or Weyland forbid, 3 clicks.

Initial playtests have proven that with some attention and thought the deck can win. Code gates take extra effort. But it works well. It went 3-1 in playtesting tonight.

I love anarchs and I love this type of deck. With that said, I don't like Express Delivery. Seems like the influence could be better spent on a Legwork (would be a nasty surprise from Whizzard and, since it's a run event, would work great with Doppelgänger) and a Net Celebrity (I really like that card, especially against RP playing Enhanced Login Protocol). This would also free up a slot for something else... such as a singleton Parasite or a third Imp. Love the idea, btw.

I've wanted to build a deck like this for quite some time now. There might be a few things I would change, but this has a lot of answers to a lot of questions.
