One way trip to Smoke's Ruse Shop

saetzero 2589

How to ruse your meta for 1 tournament and 1 tournament exactly.

(This is very hyperbolic, I think the deck has more play than it looks. But man the first few games you play, Ruse. Master. Central.)

1: Play this deck. Just say you wanna try smoke. Don't give the particulars.

2: Mulligan for ProCo. Thats it. Do it.

3: You may use 1, and ONLY 1, Hyperdriver to set up faster. You need the other two.

4: Install or toss things as you like. You don't wanna throw away much if you can avoid it.

NEVER. EVER. EVER. NEVER. EVER. NEVER. DISCARD A FEAR THE MASSES.

Draw less and play more cards if you have to. DO NOT SHOW THAT CARD TO THEM AT ALL.

5: Almost never run remotes. You can not fight HHN. You need to keep your NACH to not die to 24/7. You wanna hit "The Turn" as fast as you can. If your opponent is wise to your bullshit, then yea, keep em a 'little' honest. You are winning from FTM. Not points.

6: Just get to "The Turn" as fast as you can. You will need...

3x Same Old Thing 2x Hyperdriver, both on a Leperchaun. Your other breakers installed, or in the heap with a CC ready. 5x Fear the Masses A Net Mercur on board, and your Ghost Runners.

7: Ruse em.

Burn both hypers. 10 click turn, 11 if you get Beth (Which if you aren't making them rez ice, you probably do).

1: FTM from hand. Show 4 more. 2/3: SOT FTM. Show 4. (milled 10 so far) 4/5: SOT FTM (15) 6/7: SOT FTM (20) 8: FTM from hand. Show 3. (24) 9: FTM from hand. Show 2. (27) Check archives if you want. Mill two more if you want. Use this 10th click to run a Jackson on click one instead if you want. Use this free click on Click one to check HQ upgrades for Crisium grid.

This isn't a perfect deck. It has bad matchups. I dont care. Went to a store champ. 3-2 on the day with this. 3 Mill wins. 2 Losses cuz I played normal netrunner and got HHN'd or tagged in other ways.

Just ruse em.

I love this. I love you. Even though this is tied for the most undesereved inclusion of "Shop" in a deck title.

Did you consider Bookmark to store your FTMs for the turn required? Not sure what you would drop right enough.

Old version had Bookmark and Rumor mill, but I wanted deck slots back so I cut it. Bookmark is a value card, but has 3 problems

1: Deck slots

2: Potentially telegraphs your play

3: Best Defense

Respect. You hang some serious onions bringing this to a tournament.

@podoboyz99Lol, the CI deck i brought along side it took more onions to play honestly. I knew this would work a bit since the Kate version I did way back when did.

But you know me. Always being a goof. XD
