2014 Worlds. #8 Seed, Top 16. 238 People. 54 Cards, WTF?!

Wait, WHAT?! 54 Cards?! WTF.

I got my fair share of looks & comments when I spilled the beans that I was rocking a 54 card Corp deck as a weird experiment...but y'know, it oddly felt......good? Went undefeated with my Corp deck all day, except for my 35 minute timed loss in the elimination rounds. I had just put counters on a Future Perfect in a secure remote & would have scored it my next turn. BLEH

If you want to get back to 49...drop a Fetal, 2 Pads, & 2 Interns.

I guess if I had any reasoning to WHY 54 cards it would be when I switched some Influence around to get 3 ELPs & had to drop Interns. I then decided to just bump them up & see what happens. Agenda density decreases now, although so does your consistency...so see how it feels for you if you give it a go. I tested 2 Fast Tracks instead of Interns which was kind of fun too.

Enhanced Logins is a card that will win you games with RP, although I do love ASH as well. Variety of ICE, with ELIs usually going to your scoring remote & the taxing stuff on centrals. You are weakest early, but once you start getting set up RP is a freakin' nightmare. Wraparound is the random 1 INF you could switch out to something different, but it works well to protect an early Sundew.

I felt like I had more control over the variance with RP than say...NeH so I went with what I was comfortable with. Dan @mediohxcore originally got me playing RP back in the day...& also laughed in my face when I told him I was playing 54 cards. :)

Runners played that day: Quetzal, Andromeda, Quetzal, Noise, Gabe, Noise, Kate, Andromeda.

CHEERS!
