🔥 Armadillo Asa 🔥

☠️ #teamkillER 💩 🦹 💔

🧠 Core game plan: Fairly 'Reg Asa' now with bonus s! Outpace the runner with Wage Workers & MCA Austerity Policy.

Strategy & key aspects:

• Ablative Barrier (@T3), Tatu-Bola, and Drafter give you additional Asa triggers (s)
• Set up the ultimate data fort with the now-classic Manegarm Skunkworks+Formicary combo

🏆 PERFORMANCE:

Swiss (4-1):

🃏 Card choices:

• 2x MCAAP... Prior versions of this deck were running Biotic Labors and Nico Campaigns. In testing during the week leading up to A.C.C., this deck was struggling to beat most runners, and losses to central pressure were abundant. MCAAP provided a few things: additional must-trash assets, harder to deal with threats with fewer s, and more s for the corp. Paired with Wage Workers, the opportunities become vast
  • 0x Biotic Labor... Also great paired with Wage Workers (like scoring an Offworld Office from hand), but VERY weak to Clot, and I suspected Clot to be in >80% of my matches. Unlike Biotic, MCAAP has the option to FA from hand, but can also be used alongside Wage Workers to have a massive swing in board state and economy while the runner just spent their last 2 turns - and now their next turn - short on s
• 3x Hedge Fund... Maybe you're surprised to see a shoutout to good ole hedgy here, but here's the thing... If the runner knows we're on mostly cheap gear checks (see barriers, ⅓ of the code gates, and ½ the sentries are fake), they just facecheck and you become poor and/or they trash all your assets. Hedge Fund gets you off the ground at the beginning of the game to counter this malicious activity

❤️ Thank you Radiant & Whiteblade111 for developing & hosting (along with the rest of the incredible staff and NSG's influence/support) the 1st inaugural Cascadia event! It was a Joy Ride to have the American Continental Championship earmark its beginnings, and an honor to have it in our little corner of the world. Truly a Banner year! May Cascadia flourish and be an event that continues to create remarkable memories every year for netrunners of near and far!
