[Cache Refresh] Sand Burgers w/ Cheese

enkoder 1001

This is classic Sandburg cheese with a side of prison. Turns out assets are strong in CR, who knew?

This deck went 2-1 on the day, lost only to a Magnum Opus + Medium deck where I should have purged on the turn before I lost. Still haunting my dreams at night. On the runner side I brought a Noise ice destruction deck with Sifr and Parasite which also went 2-1. I wasn't too keen on just playing my stronger Corp deck all day. I really wanted to play both sides but I do think this Sandburg deck is really strong without an answer to assets and Warriord Tracker.

This deck plays just like any other asset spam deck. Protect your centrals, slam down all of the assets. Hopefully you draw into PAD Campaigns, Illegal Arms Facility, NASX and most importantly a Warriord Tracker early. Warriord Tracker is an oppressive card that when brought back w/ friends will make everyone's mood turn on you real quick.

Wait to go in on NASX boosting until you have 2 or 3 "Gain" econ cards on the table. This is the reason for the Illegal Arm Facility splash. Getting a turn off where you pull 12-16 is crucial for this deck to have enough money mid game to protect centrals and remotes w/ Sandburg. Hold on to your FIHP for when they come to trash Sandburg, and they will. Keep a Warriord Tracker together on Sandburg at all times.

I didn't get to play it on the day, but I really feel like Helion Beta Test is strong here too. Trashing cards to get through Warriord Tracker only to get two more trashed w/ HBT and friends'ed back is devastating.

Feels strange to use Data and Destiny as the big box when you are only playing GFI, but it's a hell-of-a card.

Potential Adjustments? More ice. The game I lost, I didn't draw any ice early on. Change the Moons for something else. Illegal Arms is a really good card draw engine and you dont have a way to handle a boost of more than 3 cards at a time without Jackson. Maybe swap the agenda suite around a bit. -1 Brain Rewiring -1 GFI +2 SFT.
