Spent a week without wifi on a cruise ship but I just had to figure something out to play in intercontinentals because those foil bridgemans don’t win themselves :D

Cruise Tao is honestly a pretty fitting name because the high concentration of money and draw in this 40 card deck makes turns feel very smooth and relatively straightforward to play; set up a crushing late game and contest where you need to prevent the corp from winning early.

I feel like this is a very clean list but there can be a number of bad matchups so it’s probably not a great choice for a regular tournament without open decklists.

As for the tournament itself, I mispredicted the interconts meta expecting a lot more HB and/or Keeling decks. I was unlucky to be paired against Jai’s Asset R+ but lucky to be paired against Rotom’s Glacier Azmari.

See y’all at worlds 💚

Tao second best runner confirmed

I got extremely lucky to be paired against you that round, actually let out an audible 'oof' when I parsed your decklist and noted the tech (or lack thereof). Only Stargate as multiaccess in particular is despair vs ARES.

All the best for Worlds!

So then who is the 1st best runner ID?

@Spiph it’s a jab at the lack of runner ID diversity at intercontinentals. There was 8 Hoshiko, 2 Arissana, and this lone Tao. I finished 6th and the top 5 was all Hoshiko so Tao is second best runner ID 😆

Ey Intercontinentals was more diverse than it should have been xD We should have 100% Hoshiko for all players who want to win games :D

How would you modify this list for the new no-Keeling meta?

@Spiph I alluded to this a little bit in the writeup: I don’t think I would ever bring this to a regular tournament because it doesn’t have the money to contest asset decks and the set up speed can be slow if you’re going into a game without knowing the corp’s decklist.

With that said, maybe the Pinholes can go now with Keeling banned? Still lots of reasons to play Pinhole tho so I can’t be sure but alternatives could be to play 2x Bahia Bands OR cut the No Free Lunch, add the 3rd Hermes, and put in 2x Dirty Laundry
