Batty's Bootcamp Blacklist (1st @ Northampton SCs)

My take on Bootcamp Glacier. Pretty simple really, trade the influence on Ash and Booth for Batty and more Faust hate. This makes the deck weaker to Shaper but stronger against Anarch due to their inflexible recursion tools and Criminal due to their lack of any recursion. With Batty on the board this deck is happy to sac a 2 pointer to Archer if it will ensure the program trash hits.

The decks record in the Swiss was a win against Valencia (first turn Mills = very yes) a win against Kit, a timed draw against Kate and a loss to Leela. The deck lost to an excellently piloted Whizzard from Alex White (which probably came down to a single Batty psi game) and won in a nail-biting showdown against Brendan Jackson's Leela. I'm happy with the deck overall, and anyone looking for a bit more psi game and rig smashing with their BCG should start here.

Couple of comments: Negotiator is a decent trade for Caduceus, shutting down early sucker building and making a nice extra sub for Orion. Orion becomes a monster with Batty and a Negotiator rezzed. Blacklist creates a nice speedbump for Anarchs and Shapers to think about when they reach the end of their first run through the deck. On occasion it can achieve a total lockout.
