Digital Impudence v1.3 (T8 Adelaide Regional)

ODie 726

Made top 8 and then crashed out due to pilot exhaustion. 4-1 in the Swiss, and stupid loss in first game of the eliminations. Loss in Swiss was to RP, in elims to TWiY* Fast Advance.

Based on Falko's (@zwobot) The Finger, thus is slightly teched to be more resilient against Butcher Shop, which I expected to see more of than I did.

Playing the deck

Here's a couple of Netrunning with Teamworkcast videos of Falko at work with the original build:

So you're basically playing a denial and ice destruction deck with Eater? Nice! Always glad to see Quetzal doing well. Congrats on top 8!

Yes, although you have numerous modes of attack available, you're mainly looking to tear down the ice on a server to open up repeated runs with either the Medium or Nerve Agent. Hitting the Siphon early on can open the remote scoring server to a free run as well.

Wraparound becomes irrelevant unless it is double stacked, or paired with Eli, but Parasite can target/deal with the latter quite well.

While you might see some early mills with a DLR, it is mostly threat that the Corp will clear from the board as soon as you go tagme. That's fine, they waste credits and clicks doing that.

One key change from the original build was to trade a single Siphon for Planned Assault, which can be treat as the third Siphon until you've drawn both, or play double duty (ha!) to get the cutlery that you need. Same Old Thing and Déjà Vu bring back the Siphons to keep the boot on the Corp's throat.

You have to be ballsy and utterly aggressive with this thing. I've lost entire rigs to Information Overload and kept on running - Data Raven and IO don't stop you once you can't lose any thing off the board, but you've lost multi-access at that stage so you need to be lucky / clever to pull out the win.

I'll try to get links to Falko's games at the Eindhoven SC up here and my own game on the eliminations at Adelaide Regionals when that gets posted.

How do you deal with lotus field?

Hey @neoshika, Eater and Spooned is one option. Run elsewhere while getting it together and pressure the Corp on central servers, if you can. The switch to one Planned Assault over the third Account Siphon also helps if you need to grab that one cutlery piece that's missing. Or Same Old Thing it back from heap if it has already gone.

does it click a lot for credits? Looks strong, but not sure if it could do with a bit more econ, whether that be kati or something else (might be a bit slow, but could help v decks that go late game). Also no console is interesting, but again not sure what would be a good choice

I played against this in the Regionals top 8 and can verify that in the right hands it is absolutely terrifying to play against! I had pretty decent tech against it with 3x wraparound and tons of econ, and it still ground me down then blew open R&D with huge medium digs.

Like everything, it depends on the game state @firesa, but I prefer to try to draw into credits. The Inject can be a godsend here, or I've Had Worse if you can spare it. Then again, if one or two clicks can let you sustain pressure then don't waste time drawing and keep running.

Because I rarely bother to clear Siphon tags, resource-based economy isn't going to support the late game economy. Just ("just", he says) hit them with another Siphon is the most preferred option, then get back in to R&D or HQ.

Here's the video of the game @Ber and I played at the Adelaide Regionals. I think that it demonstrates pretty well what the deck tries to do to win.
