Money and Class (11th @ CBI)

bking 599

I’ll be brief because at this point I’m sure a lot of people know how the mulch engine works. 😊

This is similar to the mulch decks I’ve been playing with some classy spice. TCA-Lago-Buffer Drive engine allows you to only get the cards you want in the midgame. The Class Act offers extra protection against kill decks and makes it easier to use Moshing once you have it down.

Light the Fire! provides more reach into Skunkvoid and BtL with Bio Vaults and offers a solution to Venti servers. I'm on triple Cookbook because it's an amazing card to see early, but extra copies are also important because you don’t want it as one of the options when you Price: you’d rather have it on board adding value to whatever virus card you Price into.

Losing Knobkierie to bans was rough on paper. However, rocking 3 Imps and 3 Simulchips, and also the current meta decks having a lot of trashables, meant that the engine had enough legs to get you through the midgame with plenty of Audrey counters when they were needed the most.

My testing showed that the decks works well at 49 cards, but if you’d like to cut down to 45 British purist style (read EA Sports), these would be my actual suggestions:
-1 Labor Rights, -1 Cookbook, -1 Daily Casts, -1 Light the Fire!

Shoutouts to @xiaat for being an amazing oracle, all of The TAI Breakers for being awesome, and all the tournament organizers for a great tournament!

Oracling this deck was like commentating a football match:
The Corp rezzes and uses Svyatogor to trash an Ice Wall on R&D and pull a Spin making a new remote, would you like to Lago?
Yes, please
Lago trashes Steelskin, would you like to draw 2?
Yes, please
Steelskin draws Moshing and Paladin, with The Class Act additionally drawing a Daily Casts, which one of these would you like to bottom with TCA?
Paladin
Would you like to bottom Steelskin with Buffer Drive?
Yes, please
Lago draws Simulchip. Ok, moving on to Corp's click 1...

10/10 experience would do again

You say: you can cut 4 cards to go down to 45 if you want.

My brain says: add a Hush. 50 card deck. do it.
