rp: Top 8 U.S. Nationals @ Gen Con

josh01 1696

same build i have been running forever, 8 agendas, pads, DBS, quality ice

i ditched a PAD for a Cerebral Static because i thought Noise would be all over the place. i think he's a lot weaker against very strong RP/NEH play, but he does have a particularly good matchup against RP, so i packed the C static at the last second

it shut off Noise for most of the game one time, shut off Maxx on turn 2 for the entire game, and shut off Noise just long enough to not die and score the game winning agenda in elimination. it did about as much as i expected it to

this deck lost one game in Swiss, which was due to me making a rushed (time) play against a good opponent who was about to capitalize, and then another in elimination; i drew a lot of agendas against Whizzard (which i think may be the hardest matchup for this in the first place)

i think this can be played through film critic with some of the new cards coming out that benefit RP

What are your thoughts on the recent batty/ichi craze? Obviously you did a fantastic job without it; is it just a play-style preference of equal power?

Also, what are your thoughts on the pad vs a restructure? Architect nudges you towards the pad, but if Whiz is your worst matchup, it might make sense to lean towards operations instead of towards assets?
