Bad Tooth v2 (An Upstalk Weyland)

CasMat 67

This is my take on Weyland using the new Upstalk cards, namely The Root, Bad Times, and Lotus Field. Essentially the deck's modus operandi is to supplement Weyland's strong operation econ with tons of assets, which it actually wants to protect. Getting The Root behind a Lotus Field or RSVP is mean, and sets you up to rez the rest of your assets for immediate profit. Make sure you know your turn timing chart, because (unusually) you want to know when you can take advantage of both the runner's end of turn timing window as well as your own start of turn timing window when using The Root to rez your campaigns, so you can make maximum use of the recurring creds.

Levy University helps you live with your low ICE. Usually you want to grab Lotus Field asap, because it is essentially permanent once it comes out. Not to mention, Criminal decks are just not ready for Lotus Field right now by and large.

This deck is still a work in progress; I still haven't seen Bad Times be as crazy as I expect it to be, but it is always tempting. The idea is supposed to be that Taurus + Bad Times will destroy even heavily chipped out runners, but I have not played the deck enough to confirm that this works. More often than not, runners have been very cautious about sentries, and whether or not this is because everyone is ready for Taurus or what remains to be seen. In any case, I'm going to chalk this one up to a lack of plays.

The Cleaners is the only agenda that hasn't pulled its weight yet, but I don't need the econ from Government Contracts or Priority Requisition, and Executive Retreat is an anti-combo card, so its a no go here.
