It took us mortals a year to finally reach where the master had already begun.
First, we played FA in Sportz because it beats Criminals and making money with incredible agendas is good.
Then we added Tranquility Home Grid over the campaigns because they were more flexible and expensive to trash.
We went from 0 ice to 5 all the way up to 11 as we realized that maybe we don't want to just fold immediately to Clot lock.
So I basically realized we were all converging on CTZ_MORPHLING and added the next cards we would naturally take from his list: Advanced Assembly Lines and the third Vacheron. I personally hate finding how to score 4 agendas when you can just reliably score 3 with Vacheron around. Deck went 4-2 in Swiss and 0-1 in cut, beating 2 Apoc Maxx, big Maxx, and Tao, losing to "reg" Maxx, Apoc Maxx, and 419.
Did not miss Hyperloop at all, Vacheron is busted so why wouldn't you play 3, AAL is great for bluffing or combating Apoc early or triggering THG on runner turn. 2 Ark Lockdown since that fits into the NA pivot plan, 0 CVS because I ain't paying 10c to fa a Vitruvius, 0 Sprint because I honestly want the Vacherons in HQ and like all my other cards more.
Deck is not super interesting since the Sportsmetal formula was pretty solved by the UK, but it is really fun to play with and has solid game vs everything. Except for Swift Wanton Maxx, that deck trucks this.
not playing Merger, smdh
