Not so RNG Key Val 1st and 3rd (the gigantic) Örebro SC

This is the Valencia deck I used to win Örebro SC with paired with a version of @thebigunit3000's Moon CI deck.

I knew I wanted to play Valencia since that's the deck I've been having the most fun with since rotation, I really love the Reg Anarch archetype that make a lot of runs, facecheck stuff and generally interacts a lot with the corp throughout the entire game (unlike stupid shapers that draw cards, install cards and then the corp concedes or has already won). Luckily DtWN was released the same week so I was able to put RNG key to the test and add it to the deck since it seemed like it fit right in there. I also swapped the indexings in the deck for find the truth to be able to maximize the RNG Key triggers. It's really nice when you get both down and with val's bad pub, mining accident and rebirth for Omar you can usually get quite a lot of cheap accesses on RND. However I'm not sure FTT is actually needed for RNG to be worth a slot, I was able to get triggers on RNG just by having info about cards in HQ and in generally what kinds of cards slot in to a archetype and it doesn't cost anything to install so it only takes a couple of hits to start being really good.

So I used @lpoulter's version of the Comrades Val as start and removed Knifed and Mad Dash for 2x RNG Key Then to make sure I never had to guess I swapped the 2x Indexing for 2x Find The Truth. The reasoning for those cards were that I expected few kakugo and people are running more "real" 5/3s . The 5/3s are also part of the reason why I decided to swap the sucker for a turntable (only had the ability to use it once and that time I forgot ><).

During the swiss I faced Punitive CI, Sol kill-deck, Jinja grid ASA and a Titan (my only loss for the day). And in the cut I only played vs the ASA in the first game of Grand Finals and won even though I had a really slow start compared to @secondvictor that was probably way more worthy of the win in that game. However I would ofc had won my corp game anyway so might as well just end it earlier, you'll get the next one though buddy!

I really like it -was specifically looking for a Val deck with RNG Key. Did you miss something to counter encounter? I'm testing with +1 Hunting Grounds -1 Hacktivist Meeting and considering some tag prevention -maybe Crash Space as it gives some protection against both tags and meat damage?

thanx for posting!
