New Worlds Jank - Crown of Servers / Worlds 2022

Odonuvo 66

She's a rebel and a runner

She's a signal turning green

She's a restless chrome addict

Wants to make a big machine

She's got a problem with her poisons

She might flatline before she finds a cure

She's cleaning up HQ's systems

To keep her nature pure

[...]

She's not concerned with yesterday

She knows constant change is here today

She's noble enough to know what's right

But weak enough not to choose it

She's wise enough to win at worlds

But fool enough to lose it

She's got new worlds jank

Context: For our crown of servers team, we were competing for most successful RNG Key triggers. I had offered drinks to the person who got the most without using Find the Truth

I threw this together the day before Crown of Servers when realizing I didn't really want to play the decked I had prepped weeks in advance for an entire day.

I also didn't realize until 1am on the day of the compeition that Begemot was a barrier breaker instead of an AI. Doesn't matter, we have Aumakua and core damage. Let's gooooo!

I had two objectives when building this:

  1. Get the most RNG Key fires from my team without using Adam (I had to pay for drinks if someone else had the most accesses)

  2. Have a fun/fast enough deck to be able to gunsling after we died at the tables.

The Friday plan:

  • Always sabotage when possible because Deep Dive uses too much influence for this deck. Trash everything and ignore archives unless a Spin Doctor is a threat or we think we can win from archives.

  • Try to throw down Begemot and take all of the damage.

  • If that fails, either because of bad drawing or corp trashing it, use Aumakua

  • In an absolute worst case where we lose absolutely everything, Simulchip Aumakua back in and keep going. Trash the RNG Keys if you have to.

After not making the cut in Crown of Servers: * Remove the 2 RNG Keys and go find some judges for gunslinging.

  • If I happen to get the most successful RNG Key accesses during Crown of Servers, spend the money saved on drinks at the Artist Colony

tl;dr Always be running

===========

At least that was the plan.

This deck is terrible against any form of NBN and that's basically what I faced all day. I had one match where I had 5 core damage and Begemot installed only to have it trashed. It's ok, I found another. Nope back to the top of the stack.

How did gunslinging go you ask? No gunslinging on Friday, which frankly was for the best given how badly I did that day.

In hindsight I should have saved this idea for Startup where I think this type of build would have gotten punished a lot less.
