Reina Cuts Red Tape

AkAnderson 484

This deck is just a standard and solid Reina deck that gets straight to the point (cutting the red tape).

Some things to point out: Quality Time over Diesel because I like to throw things away in order to get them back later. I love using the heap as an extension of the grip. Demolition Run is very important to kill those combo cards that most decks are using these days. I know this deck needs a lot of work but I took it to a small tournament and it went 2-1 (losing to Killer Hand, bro) and allowed me to take 1st place.

Looks like a nice to the point anarch deck. I'm interested (just as curiosity) in the choice of Reina for the ID rather than Noise, as you have 10 viruses which would trigger Noise's ability and no denial cards to combo with Reina's theme.

I like the splash on Garrote. Congraz on the win :)

I went with Reina because of her link and with Noise I feel like they instant ICE archives and I want to be able to retrieval run

Demo run is MVP here IMO

Anarch power!

You guys have given me alot of nice credit in the past few days, but alas, I'm still in beginner (at least to me, I feel that way).

Why Garrote? I know I've heard it's use a few times, but I'm not quite sure why the 6 inf is going there. Can you explain that to me?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Garrote is a nice piece of ice to get out for cheap using Retrieval Run, right?

For 3 creds and a run on archives you may not find a better sentry breaker.

I really hate fixed strength breakers and Garrote is the most efficient sentry breaker, I think. I know I'm already using Datasucker and Ice Carver but those are more in mind with Parasite, at least in the way I play. I really hate having Yog in here, too, but there wasn't much else I could do.

What about going with morning star? Another retrun target, and it smashes up 95% of all barriers played or something like that, and with sucker support, you're in. With garrote being boostable, parasite existing, I don't think it'd be too much effort to get suckers after a purge. I like the build, draw and tutor as your imports, anarch needs little else....

I meant to ask, you or any other anarch players out there...how do you like planned attack to find either retrun or demo run, or even stimhack, when needed? I think having access to whatever type of run you need, would be a great asset to anarch...barring influence needs that is.

@x3r0 I liked the idea of morning star but I didn't like using two 2mu programs with only a Grimoire. As for planned attack, it's a fantastic card but I plan on first using it with Express and Stimhack/SMC. Haven't really considered it out of faction, yet.
