Latest attempt at making Freedom work, under the assumption he would shine in this asset-heavy meta. Went 3-1 during swiss (241'd last round as corp), beating NEH, Blue Sun and AGInfusion and losing vs 6-point Azmari (should not have cut that David I suppose). Sadly I submitted the wrong decklist and got a game loss in the cut, and didn't get the chance to play Freedom again.

With the loss of crowdfunding I threw in whatever replacement econ I could find, and added turtle to deal with excal being unrestricted (it's also better than mkultra at breaking tour guide, which isn't exactly saying much). I didn't find a list with consume which worked for me, but I assume that's worth looking into some more. Pad tap was fine but not amazing, and paragon actually did a lot of good work. You're incentivised to run anyway to use your ability and get those sweet virus tokens, so getting a free buck and a scry helps a lot.

All in all I don't think this list is particularly strong; it's still fun to smash things but honestly shaper decks nowadays tend to fair better against assets, and without a good econ engine you struggle vs glacier as well.
