Long live the Queen!

Spoonfunk 182

I am really excited for the new red sands cycle and the new pack seems to give some cards that might make reina see some play again. Anything that gives me an excuse to sleeve up my full art Red Queen card is a good thing for me.

The main strategy I am seeing is using network exchange and because its non-unique, leveraging the additional tax of installing on top of the 2 credits (with Xanadu installed) means that maybe she can start taxing for real. Diwan is in there to install on Rnd and keyhole to oblivion, anything they rez, shut it down with eater and cresentus, alternate between hq and rnd, run amok to clear scoring servers.

The muj and Lib accounts for money, obelus for the draw.

Its a rough first draft but it looks like allot of fun...let me know what might make it better...Long live the Queen!

This is a nice way of looking at the new cards. All I saw was like, meh Diwan, If I want to combine it with tapwrm they'll both get trashed :p But together with network exchange and reina roja this may indeed become very taxing. I'll try this one out for sure.

Obelus does nothing in this deck, use the slots for something else

I think Hernando Cortez should definitly be considered in this build.

Hey, I've played just a couple of games (really not much) with this deck, and I've got some toughts I want to share: you could try and change obelus for Vigil. You're taxing on installing ICE, so the corps hand may often be at max handsize = free card draw. This should help out more than Obelus, also because with eater, you won't actually access cards. I also think you should go less heavy on run amok/en passant. It's an expensive and slow combo, and I think it is intended to serve as a way to break the remote server? Why not add extra keyholes and just hammer R&D asap instead? Exploit is nice, but since you want to hammer R&D, there is no real reason why you would want to spend a turn running all central servers, then derezzing ICE on servers you wouldn't run anyway. You've got crecentus for derezzing ICE on R&D right?

Oh and also, don't you need like a Hades Shard to access the cards in archives if the corp decides to put a single ETR on it?
