Blackguard Cred Denial (Feedback)

CodeMarvelous 20021

This is the deck I am planning on using at a store championship in my area. Having success with it but looking to tighten it up. Faerie is primarily power shut down defense and emergency sentry break. RD interface for pressure. I am finding that after getting blackguard down I can make the corp broke for the rest of the game and control the board. I cut the data sucker anarch breaker suite because I am not running that much.

I've been playing a very similar deck, however with andy as the ID. She often gives me the econ to play blackguard turn 1 or 2. That usually cripples the corps econ pretty early. The only real change i would advise you is put in snitch. Its insanely good with blackguard and helps you facecheck immensely when blackguard slows down the building of your rig.

This deck is cool until it hits a Weyland. Specifically, a small-ice, big money, tag-and-bag Weyland. I've simply ignored my Blackguards when I come up against Weyland now because more often than not, they have tiny ice that they don't mind rezzing on my command. I throw down blackguard, force them to rez a few ice walls, next thing I know I'm broke, they are rich, and they have an SE combo lurking around somewhere.

Forcing an Archer rez is pretty cool though.

You can't force Archer to be rezzed with Blackguard/expose. The Corp can decline to pay the additional cost. That ruling came from Lukas.

I'm working on a Blackguard deck myself. I'm doing it in Gabe for now, so it's somewhat similar to yours, but I went with 3x Sneakdoor, 3x Snitch, and a Hostage package including ProCon and Woman in the Red Dress. So I don't have the R&D emphasis that yours does, and I actually want to squeeze in 2x HQ Interface if I can, to combo with WitRD. My events list is basically identical to yours aside from Indexing, though. And my breakers are Garrotte, 2x Corroder, and Gordian Blade -- pretty similar.
