RPC Big Beale

thrantar 4

Shared by request. Currently 8-5 on jnet casual at time of posting; still tinkering with the list. The Akhet are great; the Ice Wall are probably needed to keep up sufficient density of stuff to dump counters onto. Could experiment with Magnet instead, especially if in a Botulus heavy local meta. Might experiment with Vladisbirsk Grid over Sandburg for an overall more balanced package that isn't all in on one big score, though that's probably in conjunction with an agenda suite refactor to feature OffOff or Cryptocrash.

That said, while this deck is intended to be able to score 7 from hand with Biotic -> Beale -> RPC, don't overlook opportunities to just score a Beale or Bellona normally. That'll also greatly accelerate your closing speed, as you won't need to get to 13 advancement counters to score the 7 point Beale.

Couple of notes:

-We're pure vegan. There might be space to fit one HHN in to trash resources, but there just isn't room for a full kill package. I would not cut the Akhets for BOOM!

-Attitude Adjustment is a method of fixing flood and doing agenda control that can be tutored for by Gaslight. I've been very happy with the one copy.

-Try to position Akhet to protect your ice against Hippo if you can.

-Bellona is generally better defensively than Degree Mill and the money is nice, but if Degree Mill is better defensively in your meta, feel free to swap.

Primary game plan patterns: Build a remote and stick an econ asset in it. Use the funds from the daily quest and/or ubiquitous vig to build up HQ and R&D, then build a second remote. Once you find either RPC or Biotic and have the Beale in hand, throw down a gaslight to fetch the other and combo out for the win.
