Tongueless Esa (2nd at 2nd Beanstalk)

TheRobin 13

As I was playing Esa it just so happened that more and more of my cards shifted away from events and I ended up cutting Ghosttongue. While it's a a great econ engine I also find it a bit weak sometimes if you don't draw the Ghosttungue early enough. Another advantage is that resources that you play on the table can't be trashed via core damage you inflict on yourself, so you're guaranteed to not lose your money when necessary. Also it's great to break through a Mestnichesvto with 0 credits for 1 Botulus Counter and then click for 3 afterwards to still play something. All the cards cost 3 or less (with only Chastushka being 3) so you can get back on your feet incredibly quickly even from 0 or 1 credits.

Use Botulus Bankhar to make corps not be able to score easily early, then use Chastushka's to either pressure hand or give you pseudo multiacces via Sabotage.

Finality is awesome since you can time your next sabotage a bit better, knowing how many and which cards are non-agendas (while also usually stealing you an agenda). This also helps since we take some time to build up Fermenter charges and clicking for Telework. So basically, everything is a bit slower than pure Event econ but you get more value per card (sorta) and the Finality allow to you take a bit more time.

(Also 2 light the fire to help trash expensive assets and not have to deal with stuff like amaze amusement or Traps, Zato Grids, etc.)
