1st Place SC Den Haag: Special place in hell

This is the deck I piloted at the SC in Den Haag, Netherlands. Combined with my Diaper Kate. Both decks went undefeated throughout the tournament.

There has been a rise in Prison RP decks lately and this is my take on this stupid deck. For those who are blessed not knowing this deck. You just spam all your assets and place (almost) all of your ICE on centrals (basically an extra tax to trash those assets since they all of them punish facechecks). Hostile Infrastructure to tax them even more if they want to trash all your precious assets and Friends if they didn't get the memo to leave you alone. Install Bio-ethics and watch them slowly accept their death.

    What's worse than prison RP?     Prison RP with museum!

As you can see the deck plays the good old Shitty Hall package with Museum. MCH is nice to get an early temple to be able to rez some painfull ICE (so the runner has to respect it) and to get a museum out. Museum survives surprisingly long in this deck since there are so many other targets that the runner has to trash first. Don't just museum everything. If the runner trashes a few key cards, it's often better to keep them in archives and Friends them back into play. Use museum on your operations and some less usefull assets to lower your agenda density in R&D. The biggest reason why I play museum and MCH is Heritage.

Heritage is hands down the MVP of this deck, and yes I understand the errata. It is a Sensie on a stick. It lets you draw cards to find the right pieces and it lets you control your agendas. Because that last aspect is imo the weakness of a lot of prison decks. They draw cards but since they are not scoring agendas they either get flooded or need to use Jackson to shuffle them back (runner should check archives). And if they use Jackson for agendas that means less Friends and so on. With Heritage I was always able to keep my agendas exactly where I wanted. A Sensie could to the same but is less reliable, and you can't ICE it (sometimes you gotta ICE certain remotes and play netrunner).

Chronos Project fitted nice as 22nd. It was the only agenda that I scored (twice). It did it's job against shapers.

1 Voter intimidation and a Mills against Slums (or other resources). Mills saved me against a Leela with a Strike, scrubber, slums opening. Rarely used Voter Intimidation but it's ok.

Genetics Pavilion and Ronin because I need to be able to close my games within the time limit (never was a problem, also because Diape is so quick).

Scarcity over Cerebral Static because I expected more Criminal and Shaper than Whizzard. 2 because E. Strike is popular and kinda annoying.

Now, who wants to play with me, or just sit across the table ... alt text

I got absolutely demolished by this deck. Not fun to play against, but one has to respect its power.
