Quetzal's Holiday

aloobyalordant 146

A terribly janky deck that I have nevertheless enjoyed playing quite a lot.

Medium + Wanton Destruction + DDoS + Quetzal's ability = lots of pressure on the Corp in the early game. Put down a DDoS on turn one, and let the Corp make a guess. Did I draw a Medium in my opening hand, or did I draw Wanton? You'd better guess correctly, because if you double ice the wrong server; you're in for a world of hurt.

While the Corp is dealing with that problem, you hopefully have time to get your Darwin in good shape! Yes, the only breaker is Darwin. No, Darwin is not a good card. But you have support from Cyberfeeder, The Personal Touch, Parasite, DDoS and Quetzal all helping you out.

And you have Surge! A brilliant card at the right time, letting you get Darwin up to strength or destroy a piece of Ice when the Corp thought they had you locked out, letting you get into that remote or maybe Medium dig another three clicks in a row. The game becomes a Shaper-esque puzzle. Okay, I have two counters on Darwin, a Surge in hand, and a Parasite and DDoS on Street Peddler. How do I make this work?

Not a good deck, but lots of fun.
