[Startup]Tweaked 'Mach 2' BoatBlades (4-0 Lib-Bar-ation CO)

Went 4-0 with this list with wins against Thule, A Teia, PE, and Epiphany Analytica.

This is a tweaked version of xFWx FIREBIRD's 'Mach 2' Boat list that took down the Cascadia Startup tournament.

I tweaked a couple cards here and there, primarily due to meta calls.

I went with 2 AirbladeX (JSRF Ed.) because we have an infamous PE player in our meta (shoutout Sarmatian). Playing roller blades turn one against PE is a feel bad moment.

I dropped 2 Pinhole Threading, which probably isn't correct, but I was more concerned about being tech'd against assets & PE with 3x Bahia Bands, 3x No Free Lunch. Getting into a big remote isn't the end of the world if you have a rig set up. Although, you probably should just be Conduiting for the win at that point instead of bothering with the remote. If you expect lots of glacier though, more Pinholes would be wise.

I think this is the runner with best match ups across all the corp options right now in startup. It seems like asset spam is big in TAI, so if you want to go all-in and tech against that, this might not be the way to go. But I think this deck has enough juice with Bahia Bands/Paricia that you can handle some assets while you set up Conduit.

Side note: Bahia Bands is bonkers. On face value, it feels like a bit of a tempo hit with the 2 credit cost, but the amount of time it buys you is crazy. You can get 3-4 clicks worth of things done in a single action. It's not really an econ card in the sense that it gives you a bunch of credits, but if you have some money already, it lets you accomplish everything you want to in a turn compressed to a single click.
