[insert mom/sun joke/pun] 4-0 gnk

lilelia 323

Took this and a silly Nisei deck (I really don't know how to corp atm) to a gnk, going 4-0 with this and 1win/1timed win/1timed loss/1loss with Nisei to get 3rd. Though full disclosure, 2 of the corps I faced were nbn, so those games were somewhat easymode, even with CtM's nice start.

This deck goes all in on trying to set up quickly, to get to that sweet sweet sunny late-game we all know and love. It's hurting for multi-access a little, with only turning wheel, but the counters build up quickly from quite early on, so with clot to slow them down, and pretty much no way to score from a remote, it's not too bad.

I know everyone says power tap in Sunny is a trap, that it's win more, and in my heart of hearts I know they're probably right, but I can't help it, I try building Nexus decks without it and every time it sneaks back in. And it does lots of work. 2/4/6 credits + 1 turning wheel for a click every turn you don't have another use for Nexus is nothing to sneeze at. It keeps your credit total nice and ridonculous, making it hard to tax you out jamming even the most taxing remote. Against jinteki, it stops them taxing you too much with net damage (assuming you find your filter, which probably should have stayed 2-of). Speaking of filter, I prefer it to caldera pretty much just because it's slightly harder to trash, what with not being a resource, and you already having saccons. Ymmv.

This list isn't anything unique or special, but I wanted to post it as another example of Sunny doing well, because yay for neutral runners not being crap.

How do you find only getting to 3 link? I always want to make the nexus traces free, maybe that's a trap I keep falling into?

Well with 2 power tap out you get the money you're spending, so it's basically free. You could go up to 5 link so you get free money from getting through things, but getting through for free feels enough. And then you wouldn't be able to intentionally get bounced to clear the tag with citidel for profit on turns you don't need to get in anywhere. Of course, you can get link sources that can trash themselves to get around that, and if I had more influence I'd absolutely have Maxwell in there, and maybe even an Architect. Sports Hopper felt a little too expensive either for link or draw for the fast set-up I wanted, so that's why I left it out.

Played it on jinteki, and I agree with you, the lack of extra link actually works in your favour. :-) Fun deck.

Hey, thank you for posting this. It's always nice to hear the 6x Deuces Wild Sunny archetype is doing work!

How have you liked the clots? How have you liked the feedback filter?

Well in the gnk I never ended up installing either of them, though I was ready with Clot in hand and Saccon on board in case one of my opponents managed to get MCA Informant to stick or get enough credits for their Biotic (I'd mostly installed the Saccon worried that their single advanced agenda they knew I could steal was a Shattered Remains, I'm paranoid like that :P). In a couple of subsequent games, Feedback Filter was somewhat useful mid-late game, not so much early 'cos I didn't have the money. Those games I'd swapped the Femme back for 2nd filter. Still not sure if that's correct.
