Rainbow Pride

🌈 Pelangi (noun) — Indonesian for "rainbow" 🌈

7th at London Regional. Sadly the deck didn't perform nearly as well as my corp, going a miserable 1-3.

A classic Reavershop Wu deck I've been tuning intermittently for the last several months. Money up, contest the remote, install 1-cost cards, run centrals only when you've got multiaccess.

I was losing every game I didn't find Aesop within the first turn or two, so I coughed up 4 influence for two Hostage. I'd ideally like two Legwork, which would mean cutting a Hostage, but someone else will have to do the maths on that.

Your primary breakers are Engolo and a gaggle of Pelangi. With them, you can get through practically anything for very little setup cost. Inti is for the bane of once-per-turn breakers: Border Control. Ika is for Tour Guide. Importantly, both can be sold to Aesop when not needed.

Two of the games I lost were very close, and a few different accesses or card orders would have changed everything.

• Against The Foundry glacier, whiffed on two Legworks.
• Against Gagarin, "Freedom Through Equality" was the penultimate card in the deck — desperately needed against an agenda suite of a bunch of 3-pointers. If I had drawn it a couple of turns earlier while I had a commanding mid-game economy lead, I'd have been able to land two Khusyuks for the final 4 points.
• I still don't know how to play against CTM.

Even with the poor showing, it could have done well with a bit of luck and some better piloting. I think the deck has real legs.
