Coattails 3.0 (7-2 at Worlds 2018, 55th place overall)

This is the most recent iteration of the deck I took to New Zealand Nationals earlier this year, with a couple more tech slots added to beat Clot, though I didn't face a single one all tournament, even in a Hayley on Day 2. With me getting to five points by about turn five, this Hayley threatened Clot expertly every turn for the rest of the game (even though they knew they didn't have one), then a Turntable swapped my Atlas counter, and then they eventually won in R&D (shortly after enough influence came out that I deduced there was no Clot). I could have won on about turn 6, with Audacity in hand and an Atlas counter scored, but didn't pull the trigger, as an SMC was finally on the board. Props to Elliott Hedman for taking me on the ultimate ruse cruise (and congrats on making the cut!). Shortly after, Jesse Turner remarked to me that "the only person who can beat Dave's Titan is Dave." Please put this on my tombstone.

Wins were against MaxX, Hayley, MaxX, Liza, and Val. Losses against Val and aforementioned Hayley. The Val loss was due to a top-decked Atlas on turn 2, a 1 in 4 Atlas snipe in HQ on turn 3, and it was downhill from there. Technically, its record was 6-2, as one match was a 241, in which I played runner.

Cocktail idea: "The Audacity" - Mix 3 shots of Bo(o)m-bay gin (one for each Atlas) with a generous amount of Dr. Pepper (spicy backup kill package). Add bitters to simulate the moment of realization that the final two influence were Caches and not Clot in Hayley, about a turn or two before losing in R&D. Garnish with lime to represent Weyland's faction colour, as well as the envy you feel for your opponent making top 32 and having a shot at the cut. Drink each day in an attempt to drown the howling fantods you'll have every night for the rest of your life when your head hits the pillow and you run the tape back of that game over and over in your restless mind, and the gnawing sense that you're truly living in the Darkest Timeline.

Shoutout to Jesse Turner for collaborating with me on the cocktail recipe idea, and for providing this dank Martha Stewart GIF.
