[SG] Zahya Again

Hey all you System Gateway Only Players. Hey you. I see you.

Let's talk crim. We're gonna make runs and we're gonna get paid for it. Pennyshaver is easily the best Console in the format, Docklands Pass increases the HQ pressure and thanks to Zahya makes our run cheaper at the same time. Jailbreak might be neutral but in Zahya we're talking pure gas in a way it can never be in Loup or Tāo. Mutual Favor is all of our breakers on tap all the time. Even Red Team keeps the pressure up.

Unfortunately, we gotta get in on those runs, and the Crim options for that are mixed. Carmen is fine but Marjanah is a quick way to spend a lot of money, and we don't have a decoder to our name at all. So we'll be spending some influence on 2 copies of Buzzsaw, and one Cleaver with a Marjanah as a backup. We can tutor up the singleton with Mutual Favor, so the backup is mostly to keep us from getting locked out due to poorly timed Net Damage or a cheeky Retribution. Our breakers are great, but boosting them is pricey, so we'll bring in a Leech to help.

Why 3 Fermenter? It's the best econ card in the format. And seriously, all we need to win games is more money.

That leaves just enough influence for our finisher, Conduit. Don't forget that Zahya's ability triggers on any run, so wait for the deepest dig to take your refund!

So to sum up:

  • Play all the draw you can! Here's it's Jailbreak and Verbal Plasticity.
  • Play all the money you can! Here it's the rest of the deck.
  • Oh, and play a way to get in too. But that's less important than draw or money. You'll find it eventually with the draw.
