YAWN - yet another Whizzard nonsense (2nd, Poznan RC)

apo 460

This obviously originates from dumblefork and is influenced by romanosoprano's ideas (splashing E3 and cutting Mimic). I find it really hard to lose with this deck. Unfortunately one of those losses happened in the final, where cutting Mimic backfired at me. I was treated with 3x Swordsman 8 agenda Palana build and got masterfully stalled out until my deck has run out twice and I had to concede :).

Employee Strike is not a hate card, it is just a solid solid card. Playing 1x is a no brainer. In some matchups you will throw it to faust (mostly neh, sync) in others it does SOOO much (ig, sol, making news, haarp, argus, bsun, gagarin) or is just solid (etf, palana).

Play 3x laundry, seriously - especially now, when there are remotes to check. This ensures your tempo stays on the correct level.

3x ihw and 3x inject - when I play whizzard I want my engine on the table, not in my stack.

Vamp is your HQ pressure tool. Some corps might not care, other will be DEVASTATED.

Going light on cutlery and not missing those spoons and forks. Knifed has to stay though.

3x Faust is the number you want to be playing, don't believe ppl who say 2 is enough and on top of it they play less draw.

The core of this deck is 44 cards. One slot left for counters - plas (salem tech)/clot (fa)/mimic (3x sword builds). I took both plas and clot (going to 46), turned out they were useless in this tournament :/. Ironically I left at home my 3x sword tech, which would help a lot in the final.

Awesome deck and a very accurate write-up. I'd debate ES and Knifed being autoincludes, but I do admit they are very solid cards worth considering. I'm also not a fan of cutting a Parasite, especially with 2 CC.

Just hate you for spreading the Calimsha 46 disease. Other that that congrats on the 2nd place!

Thanks @Matuszczak!

So many times I was super impressed with ES. For me definitely a keeper.

I can see where are you coming from questioning Knifed - your builds usually include Corroder. I don't like it, cause we already play 2x D4v1d which actually is more efficient vs Wraparound. With this setup I feel a way to reduce the number of Wraps on the board is needed though, hence Knifed. Also Knifed gives you tempo swing whenever you use it, and it does something in most matchups. Sure it is more pieces to find, but single Corroder can't be treated as a consistent tool anyway.

Parasite is a good card. Maybe playing 3 is better (especially since I play Injects). I opted for another setup-smoothing card - Career Fair instead. Setup consistency is a primary objective for me, ice destruction secondary.

I'm curious. Why do you prefer Plascrete over Sportshopper and Inject over Making an Entrance?

Hopper is easily baited by throwing random traffic accident. Making an entrance is slow as pseudo tutor for wyldside or econ, and trashing ability is a nonbo with Faust. Id rather pitch useless cards while braking stuff, not just for the sake of it.
