No Catchy Name Andy

Very standard Andromeda list that I have been tweaking for a while. Blood Money was a great pack for Andy, ushering in both Temüjin Contract and Paperclip. Both of these cards are absurdly good, and this deck has gotten so much better with their inclusion. Gone are the days of splashing for 2 copies of Corroder in fear of your breaker getting trashed, Paperclip is here to save an influence, a card spot, and the day.

There isn't really a ton to say about this deck. Not many crazy inclusions, it is meant to just keep pressure in that criminal way. There are some changes that can be made, but overall this deck has been incredibly successful for me so far in any number of matchups.

One thing I've been questioned about is the 2x Sports Hopper, but these are spots that I have been very happy with. This is a lot of strength packed in to one card. Obviously it can be damage protection in those matchups, but it's other abilities are overlooked. If you're playing against Controlling the Message and get it early, the link pays off, and eventually if they make a push you can pop it to try and find pieces you need to play back. For every other matchup, this deck tends to have a lot easier job gaining credits than drawing cards, so paying 3 for 3 cards becomes somewhat reasonable.

So yeah, overall kind of standard, but a very strong deck. Told you there wasn't a ton to say about it.

A Sneakdoor would be nice to combo with the Shutdown and HQI.

I like Andy becoming good again!

@clercqie Sneakdoor would be nice, but deck spots are hard and MU is harder. But I'll toy with it.

Oh I agree, the fact that both our lists don't have space for Same Old Thing is already astonishing.

I was mainly thinking Sneakdoor, because the Shutdown seems limited in value without it. That's at least been my experience.

What's your take on Medium vs. Keyhole btw? I used to prefer Medium, but in this meta perhaps Keyhole has additional upsides against low ICE asset spam and /or kill decks? I do note your MU issues are not becoming easier with this possible swap.
