aksu 291

cardpool: Honor and Profit, System Gateway, A Study in Static, Business First, Down the White Nile, Earth's Scion, Fear the Masses, Intervention, Kala Ghoda, Mala Tempora, Midnight Sun, Quorum, Station One, The Liberated Mind.

went 2-2 loosing to PD both times and winning against palana and OB.

I have been playing netrunner more seriously for three to four months. So basically trough the biggest boat meta. And there I was waiting for a new interesting deckbuilding exercise. And there it was. Boat will stay forever. Well what can you do I thought.

Like My PD deck I was almost sertain of playing some sort of boat shaper on day1. Guestion just was do I play Padma or Tao. In the end Tao won because I did not find other good charge targets in the carpool + I thought that Tao had a better match up to PD where you can keep the remote or RnD easy enough to get into.

Decklist was basically taking all the good cards in the standard format and trying to add enough economy to make installing boat feasible. More interesting and worthwhile cards to talk about are:

  • Pinhole threading: super sick card into the PD match up. disassembling the remote before running feels so good.
  • system sizure: Only current that was worthwile to play in the whole cardpool. Never got to play it but it couldn't be too bad.
  • Dedicated processor: I really thought big big ice was going to be more of a problem even with takobi and endurance in the deck. Breaking a advanced pharos for 16creds did not feel too good. In the end this card was basically wasting a slot. 2cred install to still break big ice with boat does not sound that good.
  • Tapwrm: Hard carry. There should have been three of these bad boys in the list. Making fast PD rush waste a turn on purging is sick. Only problem was that I was running conduit as my main wincon. And when the purge happened I lost super much tempo.
  • Aaron marron: other busted card that basically made any tag reliant deck unplayable in the meta and just fed me so many cards.

On the whole the was functional and had really good things in it. I just managed to include way too many win conditions. having 1 turning wheel, 2 Deep dive and 1 conduit did not help me to win with either one of the other. I kinda wish now that I had gone fully into Deep dive and ran cards like into the ashes instead of having 1 all nighter.

Same thanks and shoutouts as in my PD list.(everyone, AxWill and Joni)
