Chrome - 4-1 Montreal Online Tournament (4th Place overall)

Chrome, Mirrors, and a big ol' Gun

I Took inspiration from this deck from 5NOOP1's punitive mirrorporph deck here

The plan is pretty straight forward

• Play a slow build up with taxing ice

• Trigger Mirrormorph every turn you can

• Use MCA austerity policy to slow the runner down/force them to run your remote

• Be rich

• If they steal a 5/3 kill them

• If you can't kill them score out using scoring windows after they rush your remote to kill an MCA,

• Or, if they dont kill the MCA, fast advance out your 5/3s and win.

I took this deck into the top 4 (16 player Montreal online Tournament) only to flood out in game 1 and get tunnel vision on an open R&D and Stargate and got Atlas Trained out by Titan with my VAL Swift deck.

Card Choices

Hyperloop extension - > Not sure about this one, could be a single 4/2 to free up a slot, but Hyperloop can give you the one point needed to score out without sacrificing any economy if you have a chance to score it early.

SSL -> Money=good, Runner stealing Agendas=good, therefore Money+Runner stealing agendas= 2(Good) . That's Math people...

Project Vacheron = Lets us land our kill package even if the runner is on game point

Red Level Clearance -> My favorite card in this deck, lets you cheat out an extra install and still get your mirrormorph credit/click

Scarcity -> I hate this F&*king card

SEA Source -> To kill Film critic, was an SIU but i swapped it last minute because its tutorable with Consulting Visit, Thats why im only at 14 inf.

Ice -> Only for taxing out the runner, the only straight ETR is Eli, everything else has at least a bit of teeth. The ice suite is there to keep the runner poor as possible, most of the ice i rez is more expensive to break than it was to rez (except for Fairchild 3.0 which is 5 to break with Engolo, 6 with most others iirc, but the facecheck is strong enough for it to make the cut)

--Round 1--

vs John on Haley (Off Campus) : Managed to score out, dragging him through taxing ice to trash MCAs and made enough scoring windows to slam 5/3s. and swept the round

--Round 2--

vs Patrick on Leela:

Quick kill with a SSL steal into Punitive - Consulting - Punitive. Val got herself murdered in a very quick punitive on the other side.

--Round 3 --

vs Vikk on 419:

Another quick one, Vikk stole an SSL on turn 1, ended with two cards in hand, Consulting -> Punitive... Feels bad

--Round 4 --

vs Steve R on Sunny:

Was worried about this one, Steve, the ringer from Chicago (j/k Steve jumped in last minute to round out our 15 participants to a nice 16, Big Props to Steve!) was undefeated up tp this point, and If I lost both, there was a pretty good chance that I would be pushed out of the top 4, and even if I split, I wasn't locked in to the top 4. Drew no ice in my opening hand, nor first draw, second turn lost an SSL off of R&D and landed a Punitive - Archive - Punitive after pulling 3 off of it.

Top 4 Round 1

--vs Oneiromancer -> Got Flooded (saw 6 of 8 agendas by turn 6, and the only econ i saw was an NGO which got trashed from R&D turn 1) and couldnt secure my servers from the Leela bounce (also im bad at the game and adv-adv-adv a 5/3 out forgetting about the Bounce, and My opponent took advantage of my mistake with a doof. Although I was one credit short of landing a turn 2 Punitive -> Consulting Visit -> Punitive after, you guessed it, an SSL steal off of R&D, oh well 3/5 'aint bad :)

All in all it was a great tournament, Thanks to Roberto for setting this up, and Andrej (of the Metropole Grid) for casting the event! it was a ton of fun and I can't wait for the next one!
