Andyface - 1st Place Troy, IL Tournament

cdrock 274

Overall, this is a pretty standard Andy build. Going into the tournament I thought I would be playing against many horizontal decks, so I built my economy around that. Desperado + Security Testing can run the economy of this deck if there are open remotes. Being able to click for 3 credits is pretty amazing (and better than Kati Jones). Often I'll even have 2 Security Testings out. Another crucial economy card is Bank Job. An open remote can net me 10 credits for 2 clicks, and that's a pretty great swing.

In today's game I find Interfaces to be the best tools for multi-access. It is important to be able to stay ahead of NEH, and I find that R&D Interface is one of the best ways to do that. With several out they suffer a hard decision 'Do I draw and hopefully find more ICE to protect R&D, or do I draw as little as possible to stop the runner from seeing more cards next turn?'
This pressure is essential to fast decks, and should not be underestimated. HQ Interface is also extremely useful. During the early game it will help you grab those early agendas, and see what they are carrying to help you determine their next move, and in the late game it forces them to play their agendas in a potentially risky remote, or have a good chance of them being stolen directly from HQ. It is also worth noting that a late game Sneakdoor Beta with 1 or 2 HQ Interfaces is a great game changer.

I decided to run no Datasucker, as without Yog.0 I didn't really need it, and could use the influence elsewhere. I brought one Feedback Filter to protect myself from Black Tree decks, but I ended up not playing any. Being only one influence, I'm surprised that I don't see more of this card.
