Cannon Rush (4-0) 2nd @ APAC Swiss

bing005 276

Hiya!

This is my list for APAC continentals. Went 4-0 on the day against some tough competition.

I'll quickly write about my personal criteria for building and using a deck like this and also briefly how it plays. For me it's reminiscent of a photon cannon rush in starcraft.

My Criteria

  1. Rushy
  2. Killy

Game Plan

The main plan is to get malapert + arella + mostly advanced (4 advanced works) city works into remote. When you come across another 5/3 you pop the city works searching for sacrifice / oberth, install the second agenda with arella, sacrifice it placing jemison advance tokens, score second agenda and search for a 6 damage neuro.

The city works acts a giant trap protecting the malepert and arella.

You can also just double neurospike if that comes out first.

Jemison offers good potential for tricky lines but I probably need to change my ice suite to utulize that angle better. This deck was virtually untested prior to the event and made at the last minute. It's definetly not a fine tuned list.

Thanks so much to @inactivist for running a great day yesterday and good luck to to the dropbears @gilesdavis @nbkelly competing in the top 8 today.

Special little thanks to @gizmaluke for getting me on to the neurospike / malapert!

Edit:

Some decent considerations might include; +2 Stand Off, -1 ice, -1 hedge fund +1 Digital rights management, -1 spin doctor

This is a really cool list! Can't wait to see what the refined versions are like in a few weeks

i'm tempted to put 2 stand-off in here to change ice structure and offer an option for pulling 2 neuros.

How does this hold up vs Apocalypse decks? Can't they just blow up your remote?

Re Rotage: Probably - didn't really test this deck. The deck can easily kill around turns 5/6/7 so if there caught setting up its totally possible.

So I can said, after next continentals, this deck is awsome ... with almost same list I ended 4:2 .. two wins was just scored out, two murders ... two looses was with Apo MaxX (piloted by @mjp) and some CS Zahya with Obelus (I had so bad start in this match-up)
