Tied up in Notts (2-2 Nottingham CO)

This is a modified version of SebastianK's arissana from APAC.

The changes are:

-3 casts

-1 mayfly

-1 cyberdelia

+1 propeller

+3 environmental testing

+2 simulchip

I hadn't touched Arissana before the tournament and she's a lot of fun! I'm a big fan of Az and she's definitely got a similar play pattern going.

Round 1 vs tanukiD on outfit (loss)

In this one I had lilypad in my opening hand and put it down click one. In hindsight, keeping my engine pieces in hand and trying to get some early rezzes on central ice to find safe areas to run and build value later was the way to go. TanukiD was on a big deal Outfit with no remote and centrals were two ice thick by the time I found my killer. It came down to a deep dive on 4 points and I saw a reg cap rather than an SDS.

Round 2 vs Tolaasin on azmari (loss)

It turns out azmari makes a lot of money when the runner's engine depends on installing a program every turn! Despite this I had a pretty good remote lock thanks to money from kyuban and env testing. But an overzealous deep dive and an oppo research had me gaining something like 11 tags in two turns and the winning agenda got scored out with shipment from vlad. Tolaasin suggested I add hush to my deck after our game and I had completely forgotten that I could smc for it to turn off starlit knight's ETRs

Round 3 vs DanB on sarasvati (win)

This one was rough on my opponent's side, a bad draw meant they were mitosis and sarasvatiing mostly agendas, rather than traps. The added draw of DreamNet and lilypad was a great plus for arissana when making runs on possible urticas etc.

Round 4 vs Harmonbee on Ob (win)

This one was an exciting one, Harmonbee played very well from a rough mulligan. They were able to stump my trojan engine early by aggresively extracting their ice thanks to Ob. However, I got some early steals and then stole two agendas as I was beginning my deep dive, closing the game.

Thanks to Matt for putting the CO and thanks to the Nottingham crew for being so welcoming!
