1441 - EuroVersion (49th total, 7th after day 1)

anr_marsellus 1336

This is the corp deck that I played at Euros 2017 in Birmingham. Overall it did not do particularly well (3-2 on day 1 and 1-4 or 2-3 on day 2) but it managed to score a Government Takeover live on stream (twitch.tv/neoreadinggrid - also soon to be published by TeamWorkCast) and people were very interested in the decklist.

The main game plan of this deck is to score 7 points as quickly as possible - as all previous versions of 1441. You usually do this via fast advancing agendas and chaining Project Atlas, whilst keeping your money up with the help of Hostile Takeovers. Sometimes, you can try to rush out a Project Atlas or Oaktown Renovation in the early game behind an ICE, which helps you a lot because you need to fast advance less. If you score quickly enough, the Runner might be forced to run less prepared than he'd like to. That's when Archer (still a very good piece of ICE) and Hunter Seeker shine. Also this is exactly what happened on stream. But this deck is not supposed to be rigshooting :) Election Day is a nice add that helps you find agendas if you don't draw them. If you have a nice start with ICE and money, nothing is worse than not being able to score. So drawing past the R&D lock and drawing the pieces you need often helps you win.

That's basically it. The deck is great against Temu Whizzard but sucks against Eater-Anarchs - which is why I got my ass kicked eventually.

Just saw the stream. Props for slow advancing a Government Takeover live :D I did this myself click by click against a careless runner that got all his breakers RFG'ed by Skorpios Defense Systems: Persuasive Power :D
