Rube Boi - Bay Area SC Winner

pj20 1593

My version of @Doomrat's Rube Goldberg Hayley that I piloted to first place at the Santa Clara Store Championship, going 5-1 on the day, beating an Azmari, losing to a Sportsmetal, then beating Biotech, a different Sportsmetal, before beating IG & avenging my only loss against Sportsmetal in the finals.

In my first 13 SC level or higher tournaments, I played Geist. So I wanted to try something different, without really trying anything different.

This deck is just absolutely bananas, although not recommended if you don't love triggers and can play fast enough on the corp's turn that they don't hate you. My only changes to the deck were -2 Earthrise, +2 Reclaim, +1 Astrolabe. The Astrolabe was actually MVP in the cut against @westonodom and his IG. Reclaim is a pet card of mine from playing so much Pirate Geist, and it works extremely well w the Bazaar / Hayley theme, allowing you get back your Spy Cams and Clone Chips, which you then use to get your programs.

Money is never the issue here, but it can be a little bit slower to set up, so you're a tiny bit susceptible to rush. I considered adding a Clot, which would have won me the game I lost, but I don't really see how you could possibly cut the Hostage, and Street Peddler is just such an amazing card for Hayley installs on the Corp's turn.
