La Quetzaratcha 1.2

dante77 1153

New version of La Quetzaratcha, I try create a Runner whitout icebraker.
How to play: Run R&D only and in meanwhile, eat ice.
I play this deck against:
HB:Cerebral Imaging - win 7:0
Weyland Blue Sun - win 11:2
NBN Making News - win 7:4

I lose one game against Replicating Perfection 4:7
What do you think about it?

Original :) Might be Janky, but I like it :)

The problem with the deck is that Paintbrush only works on rezzed ICE and that's why I have 3x Eater in mine. Usually the Cutlery events tend to pile up in your Grip, I'd cut out 1 of both Forked and Spooned and have 3x Same Old Thing. A fun deck to play when you get things rolling.

It's a fun deck. Paintbrush not a problem. Paintbrush it's solution.

How do you deal with double-ICEd servers? Quetzal's ability only works once per turn.

I brake one ice per turn. I focus on R&D only.

I don't think you understood my question. How is breaking one ICE per turn will help you get past 2 pieces of ICE? How are you to "focus on R&D" if R&D is protected by 2 pieces of ICE? let alone 3 or more.

Sorry, but your deck is broken. I mean sure, you can kill the outermose ICE with Paintbrush and Knifed, but then the innermost will stop you until next turn, by which the corp would install another ICE.

I understood very wall. I broke one ice per turn. You have to remember that, at the beginning of the game corporation more focused on gaining money than just securing the R&D. This is what I'm waiting. This is not a tournament deck, but just more frequently wins than loses.

I think the idea behind this deck is great! I think I'd agree with @lumivarjo that I'd want an Eater in here too.

Reason being, I can see a time where corp has two ICE unrezzed on R&D. I run, he rezzes inner ICE (say a barrier). I play Knifed and he rezzes an ETR code gate as outer ICE, and I've wasted my run. An Eater on the board, means I still get through and trash the barrier. Also get through for some Medium counters.

Still, a great idea for a deck - definitely gonna explore this one!

If i add icebreaker, i lost the main idea of this deck.

I try to find another way to brake ice. Maybe add Datasucker to fast eat ice whit Parasite. And Self-modifying Code and Clone Chip.
