Pre-rotation decklist |
This will no doubt look familiar to those of you who know how to read the deck of the week, and to those of you who have been keeping track of store champs decklists. And the underlying reasoning is sound: in a world where runners have seemingly limitless credit pools, repeated ways to invalidate ICE, and instant-speed tag removal, one of the few ways the corp can still cheese the runner (while trashing their rig and bouncing them) is the psi game.
The runner can still set up an impenetrable board state if you let them go long, so don't. Rush. Put the runner into positions where they can't run but know that they have to.
This deck went 3-1 in the swiss and 2-1 in the cut. The loss in Swiss was a Smoke deck that set up quickly and then blindsided me with Rumor Mill (great include on his part), and the wins were sprints against DLR Sunny, Ken, and Dumblefork. The two wins in the cut were against Dumblefork in very close games, and the loss was in the second game of the grand final against Reg MaxX with Sifr, a game that came down to the runner having the exact right amount of resources plus Rumor Mill to invalidate the scoring remote after Levy, then sniping the lone TFP from HQ. I ended up taking 2nd in a 10-person SC, with this deck carrying my aggressively mediocre Sifr Kate Control.
Specific choices:
Shoutouts to Shane and Atomic Empire for running a smooth and professional event, as always.
