RP with Early Premiere to add an extra layer of anxiety for the runner.

This deck went 3-1 and helped me win a small tournament at Salt Lake Gaming Con against some great players. Paired it with a Career Fair Stealth Andy that went 4-0. Only loss was due to bad agenda flood against 2nd Place @AKAnderson.

Standard RP fare with a False Lead suite, Faust tech (wrap, sword), Noise tech (static) and of course Early Premiere. Having another way to score a Nisei MK II is just evil. All three wins I scored from Early Premiere, including a TFP score bluffed as NAPD with 1 advancement.

The tempo you can gain by sneaking a Nisei score before your Caprice server is even set up is pretty strong. The Premiere strategy doesn't take anything away from your Caprice scoring strategy either. No tempo hit, no econ hit.

Is Premiere worth 6 inf? I think so, this was the first time I piloted the deck and it worked a charm. Too bad (kinda) that RP is taking a meta hit because of Film Critic or I'd be putting more work into this idea.

6 Influence can go pretty far, I'm not entirely sold on 2 Early Premieres. I mean, it'll help bluff out a Nisei, but if people knew you were running it in elimination rounds, then they wouldn't let it happen to them again. I haven't tried it, so this is just an assumption

Definitely 6 can go far. Really it's the difference between playing an ASH version, an ELP version or a better ICE version in the end. All of those versions can't threaten a quick score, though. So I like 6 inf to add a whole new scoring element to the strategy. This tourney was too small for elims, 4 rounds of swiss is all.

@Heartthrob Not trying to be negative or anything. Genuinely don't know if it would be worth it in a bigger tourney with elims. Interesting idea though. Someone who wouldn't expect it would be pretty cheesed when you score that unexpected nisei

Haha no you're not being negative, it's a valid point and one that I considered as well. This is a largely untested strategy and if Film Critic becomes rampant RP will drop in power anyway.
