No Killer Needed (top 8 @ BCOM)

Cpt_nice 1933

This R+ carried me into the top cut at BCOM 2022, only dropping one game in swiss against Anarchomushroom's very strong "Boomerang Spam" Az deck, which was unsurprisingly good against this deck and well-piloted by them. It beat 2 Steves, 1 Hoshiko and 1 Lat. In the cut it had to face Az again and it wasn't any better this time, and then it lost a super close game to Cablecarnage's Steve, ending my dreams for a sick trophy.

The list is very similar to my world's deck, with a few changes. I dropped the only sentry, Thoth, in favor of Authenticator. This made for an amusing inside joke as I had to nod approvingly whenever someone installed Bukhgalter, although the jig was obviously up in top cut. I do not recommend sentry-free lists, but it was funny.

Beyond that I swapped GFI'S for Bellona's. This was a high risk/high reward move, as it makes the agenda spread riskier, but it does allow for EOI windows if they pay to steal. One of the advantages was more influence for 1 Econ Warfare, which caught at least one runner by surprise. I think you could consider dropping 1 Snare for a second copy. Lastly, I dropped AMAZE Amusements, as it is way too narrow in its use, and added one Hard-Hitting to keep the runner honest. Seeing as how I only got it off once all weekend, and considering Mr Teatime's excellent use of the card, HHN could be exchanged for a News Team.

BCOM was incredible and I am so happy I decided to travel for it. Special thanks to PSK, Pommes, Vesper, Percomis and everyone else who helped make this event a raging success.
