Whalin' Wu 23rd UK Nats

Hyperbolic_Mess 179

I started off paying this as a bit of fun and took it along to my regular weekly meetup to get thoroughly beaten with it so I could force myself to play something a bit more competitive for Nats but actually won all my games pretty easily so ended up taking it along.

The deck basically funnels the money from the Kyuban ddos combo into the Martial arts breakers and Na'not'ka to index and run remotes till you win. If you've not come across it before the combo is to have down as many hyper drivers as possible to take a big turn where you Wu for all three copies of Kyuban and install them on an outer ICE and DDOS it then run and jack out as many times as you can for 6 creds per run even better if you can get turning wheel down first! With the added econ of stimhack I was never hurting for credits although the money isn't infinite and you need to pick your runs carefully.

It went 4-3 on the day but 2 of the losses were piloting errors and not the decks fault. One of the losses was after running second to last click on a 6 advanced ghost branch at the end of my combo turn which was super dumb as the game was almost certainly mine with a 60 credit lead vs an Azmari kill deck and the other was vs a 7 point Sportsmetal combo deck which took me completely off guard and if I'd just spent my time amassing hyperdrivers I could have easily scored out in a power turn.

Unfortunately with the demise of Hyperdriver the deck is dead but it was fun while it lasted and I'm just posting this up as a few people on the day were interested in the list
