Tag-meedom Khumalo

mcg 1061

I really liked the idea of playing tag-me as a way of ignoring Drago shenanigans. But then that got spoiled by seemingly everyone slotting three Market Forces. Never one to let reason or logic get in my way, I figured I should make a Freedom version that could then trash the MFs, and what could possibly go wrong?

I'm certainly not suggesting this is better than the Zahya version, her ability combos so well and many of the cards you want are in Crim, but I think this list does have some merits. Three Counter Surveillance means you can use them more liberally/earlier. Hippo is just a good card, particularly if you want to apply 'normal' pressure. And, of course, Freedom is not limited to trashing MFs.

On the day, the deck went 4-3. Losing to R+ (trashed everything other than MF), Asa (didn't see Obelus or CS until half way through the deck) and Azmari (didn't think they'd be on BOOM! so took liberties). Wins against Architects of Tomorrow (ripped seven points in three turns), 2x PE (difficult to kill with 13 cards in hand) and a Prav (tough game but managed to CS for the win in the end).
