Only up to 18 on the website ... meh :\

So what is the point, to mulligan/slow draw for your Pro-Con and then to draw more so u setup the rest of the anarch rig ?

How exactly Bad pub and Valencia help your deck? For a blackmail 2x Investigative Journalism seems lol and I guess the crescentus is so you clean up path for Blackmail again?

Hey @Dydra, look out for episode 19 this coming Monday! With this deck the idea is to destroy ICE on R&D and HQ so that your bad publicity is as effective as possible. I often find that bad pubs have somewhat diminishing returns; when you have 1 bad pub and R&D costs 4 to access it is very expensive to run Keyhole 3 or 4 times in a turn. By keeping servers small I'm getting maximum advantage out of the 1 or 2 bad pubs you get. I have the black mail to threaten remotes in the early/midgame, just as you suspect, and Crescentus is a very flexible tool in that regard. When the corp runs low you can use Crescentus to gain access with Eater to Keyhole, or if you dont have any other breakerrs you can use Eater and crescentus to derez remotes to open them back up to blackmail.

This is still an early development and I'll have more on this style in a few weeks! There's just so much testing to do.

Interesting deck, and as always love your input on The Winning Agenda. Would love to hear more on how to pilot this deck, and what card changes are possible. Are the three hostages really a necessity?

Thanks @Daskull glad to hear it :)

I'm running 3 and 3 just based on the numbers at the moment (and also so as to just test the core or the deck before bridging too far out into meta considerations), and you're absolutely right, there are heaps of different directions this could be taken. I'll do a full deck tech in a few weeks once the list actually see's some competitive play, so keep your ears out!

Any updates on this deck? Did you have a chance to test it a bit? What would you change based on your experience?

@dtelad11 not for a little while sorry. Control decks usually need to be built according to more stable meta games, so I'm exploring more of the aggressive decks atm. hopefully ill have a better model in a few weeks!

Fair enough. Keeping my fingers crossed that Clot slows down the Corp metagame a bit.
