This is QtM's favorite deck from EMEA. It was apparent to us pretty quickly that Pinhole Threading stonks were low and Runners were too stretched trying to combat rush, tempo and asset decks - they didn't really have the tech or even the resources to deal with something like this. Arissana is too poor, Crim needs to be able to make runs to do anything and can be gearchecked easily, Anarch is okay but often relies on turtle. Also, Brân 1.0 is simply the best piece of ice in the game right now, with no one having a good solution for it. The solution was obvious: a port of The King's deck from some months ago.
The solution wasn't that obvious, actually. We pondered for a while whether to take this or a 59-card version (which is very easy to assemble, you can try it at home) or a 49-card one, and decided to take this. We weren't really confident in our ability to play quickly enough, or to promptly call judges over slow play. This probably ended up being the wrong pick, given that we didn't lose a single game to time over the weekend (krysdreavus actually won a game to time somehow).
Specific build choices notwithstanding, the archetype was an absolutely correct pick and it feels like there was always very little Runners could do to prevent getting locked out and murdered. izzy went undefeated, I went undefeated except for a "technical" game loss (blaming it on Bacterial Programming's UI on jnet being terrible), crowphie went 5-1 and krys went 3-1. Any problems we had during EMEA were due to our runners, this monster absolutely carried us.
There isn't much to say about the deck if you have seen previous iterations of the archetype in action already. Some notes:
QtM strong! Thanks to the whole team for helping test this, especially to krysdreavus and crowphie who had to suffer a lot for my sake. Thanks to Keeling for finally giving me a win in a high-profile top cut, literally my first time after quickly dropping from both CBI and APAC <3. And fuck Bacterial Programming.

In case those 7 replays weren't enough to convince you, here's all 6 games I played — and won~ —with this list :D Round 1 against Arissana |

Depending on how you count the Bacterial bugged game, this list either went 22-2 or 21-3 across the 4 of us. Preposterous numbers. |

Tuno, you can understand how much i respect and care for you because i do even if you usually play this kind of horrific decks. Maybe, and i only say maybe, it's one of the reason because i enjoy your company, but i need to specify: it's not a masochistic trait, folks. Or it is? 'Grats! |
No, you got it the wrong way around: Fuck Keeling, not Bacterial Programming (unless you want to have really protected sex)
