Gang Magic - BABW LCQ

MasterAir 394

6-0 at BABW LCQ. Had a woulda, shoulda, coulda day with corp to end 8-4 overall. I qualified for the final but am not participating so I can officiate.

The B&E breakers are stressful for the corp. siphon is still good. Desperado is a netrunner card.

I ran Fall Guy over Gamble. I think it was the right call, but I didn't want to do it. Getting the first siphon to land on time is really important. Bank Job was insane value all day. Try it. It's fun.

Thanks to Linuxmaier on Stimhack for the inspiration.

No way to get up to 2 link, do you think that's ok?

@Wangflurry My testing has shown that this aggressive style deck doesn't have time to set up link + a bunch of cloud breakers. It doesn't need to either. Crescentus is great against large ICE. You have pumpable breakers to get you through if you need to. Increasing link is for a slower, longer game version of this deck. I'm pretty sure it exists, but I haven't found it yet.

I wonder how you do vs glaciars with one server as 5 your eco cards need free one to work

I think Glaciers are harder for this deck than the more early game centred corp decks. It's important to land early Account Siphon and keep them in the hole as long as possible. I've played a few games against Glacier in testing and am better than evens against pretty good opponents.

I don't know that many slow decks that can get away with a single remote any more, the strong archetypes at the moment favour asset econ, and icing everything starts to get expensive. Bank Job and Sec Testing are both very powerful cards.

Crescentus and Femme are obvious superstars against larger ICE. The criminal cloud breakers makes a lot of the midrange ICE look pretty porous. If the corp can set up Caprice and Crisium Grid and big ICE you're in trouble.

If the meta shifts to where glaciers are dominant, this deck probably isn't the right runner deck.

What's the comparison between Fall Guy and Sure Gamble? How does the first "replace" the second?

Fall Guy gets you 2 credits and a card for a click, Sure Gamble gets you 4 credits. They're both econ cards in this deck. I think Fall Guy is slightly more effective because it means you spend fewer clicks getting to the meat of your economy, which is Desperado, Sec Testing, Bank Job and Account Siphon.
