Housekeeping! I love it. Please tell us how well that card did. =-)

I see housekeeping as amazing--except it seems pretty unlikely to me that the runner doesn't hit an agenda before long and pops it.

also most runners don't install much versus PE

Out of curiosity. How does a deck like this fare against an Eater / Keyhole runner like MaxX?

I'll see if I can get Jordan to pipe in with his commentary on the list. I can see how it could be very strong in concept - particularly against Shapers repeatedly bouncing Deus X into play to prevent net damage, but I don't personally feel like there's enough ice to support the card and it's six influence in this deck.

I played against it in the tournament, and Housekeeping died the turn after it was installed when I top-decked an agenda from an R&D w/minimal ice. I think he made it through the tournament without playing any Eater/Keyhole decks, I imagine he would have struggled with the low ice count. His only two losses with this deck all tournament long were to the same Siphon Vamp Switchblade Gabe deck, once in Swiss and again in double-elimination.

Hello everyone, I'm Jordan, the one who piloted this deck.

Housekeeping replaced a Scorched Earth and a thrid Cerebral Overwriter. The thinking behind it was that the advent of O&C would cause a lot of people to be playing a lot more plascrete. In addition, I figured that it would end up doing more "damage" than either Cerebral or Scorched would throughout the day, on average. I was very aware that almost 1/4th of the deck was agendas, and would likely be gone in a matter of turns. One of the main points of its inclusion was to try to force the runner to run when they weren't ready to, and end up hitting something that made them sad. It also had the nice added benefit of Noise deterrence.

In actuality, it ended up being a bit... pointless. It did do some work, but, like Matt said, the low ice count hurt it quite a bit. It did what I hoped it would do, it just didn't do it well enough. In the first game of the finals, I even drew it when it could have been Scorched Earth, costing me the game. Mainly though, the 2 credit cost was actually quite a big deal for this deck, so seeing it early was bad... but that's exactly when you want to play it.

Overall I feel like it's a bad fit for the achetype right now, but I would like to do a bit more experimenting with it as the SanSan cycle brings new cards.

Unfortunately I can't comment on how this deck fairs against post O&C anarchs, as I haven't played a single one yet. I'm taking some time off from running it since I've been playing it nonstop for several months now, but once I come back to it I would like to do some kind of write-up.

@moistloafsure they do. they're actually more likely to do this while waiting for a rig because they don't want to face check ice.

@Mykoo44worked beautifully against a Reina who rushed to get a rig out when I had Housekeeping on turn 1. Flatlined in 5 turns. Anarchs have to play aggressive.

@falseidolthat's just any current, though. had a great mid-game housekeeping run with this deck.
