Mushin No Contracts (2nd Place Store Champs Houston 1/13/18)

Ralphus1701 87

This deck leveraged Mushin No Shin + Reconstruction Contract to score out an Atlas train. It also helped save credits for rezzing ICE instead of using credits for advancing agendas. Scoring agendas with 1 credit instead of 3+ credits actually help you defend your servers. Mushin'ed Reconstruction Contract also speeds past Clot opportunities. Click 1/2 Mushin, Click 3 Install Atlas, Corp Paid Abilities Rez Recon and trash to score, Runner Paid Abilities fire. The combo works once, but it drastically changes the Runner's priorities.

Special thanks to Beyond the Dungeon for hosting the event.

Mushin No Shin doesn't allow you to score or rez the card on the same turn you played it. How does it "[speed] past Clot", even with Reconstruction Contract, which would need to be rezzed?

Mushin No Shin doesn't allow you to rez Reconstruction Contract on the same turn it's installed. This combo does not seem to work against Clot.

Apologies for the duplication. Received an error the first time.

@LongHairedHippy. No worries, you aren’t scoring out Reconstruction Contract with Mushin, so that portion of the text is null. The part about speeding past Clot is that majority of players haven’t seen the combo or aren’t prepared for it. So if you Mushin, then Install your agenda, their window to Street Peddler or Self-modifying Code or Clone Chip out a Clot is closed so, you can rez Reconstruction Contract and use it’s paid ability to move the Advancement Tokens over to the Agenda for a score, then the Runner has an opportunity to respond.

Yeah, but the point being made is that you can't rez the card you install with Mushin either. So you have to wait a turn after playing Mushin to even rez the Reconstruction Contract.

You could use Dedication Ceremony to achieve a similar effect. Click 1 - install the agenda, Click 2 - install and res the Reconstruction Contract, Click 3 - Play Dedication Ceremony to put 3 advancements on the Reconstruction Contract and then use it's ability to score. Since you aren't scoring the Reconstruction Contract you aren't violating the restriction on Dedication Ceremony.
