This is the corp I brought to Barcelona and piloted in six games in swiss, never failing to kill the runner.

Some metas ago we could still threaten another reliable kill to deter runners from stealing our double-advanced Reeducation; nowadays outpacing the runner, good ICE and the occasional baited run have to suffice.

After the event I would add at least one Gaslight to have another card to put into the remote early that accelerates the game plan. I'd probably cut Vasilisa, even it actually shortened one game by one turn. It's too situational and with Gaslight providing more reliable access to Seamless Launch, it feels like the worst card.

Thanks to everyone making this past weekend an incredible experience! It was surely exhausting, but I would do it all again without hesitation. I've had the chance to put faces to a lot of names I've known for a long time and am looking forward to meeting you again at a future event - keep running!

An interesting version of the idea. I've been testing a slightly different version using calibration testing in addition to the Vlad grid to do a same turn FA. Does this list go fast enough to avoid getting rolled by bankhar? Is only 1 napd enough if you're leaving it on the board?

@bluestar I've encountered Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga only once, but I felt putting another (cheap, preferrably Wraparound or Ping) ICE in front of Tollbooth + Hydra was enough to deal with it. As long as you're not afraid losing on centrals until the kill.

I'd love two NAPD Cordons, but slots are hard :-). It was mainly intended as a way to ensure a scoring window if the game goes longer and I actually played it one time at worlds. But then you still have to install a (non-advanced) Reeducation followed by Advance, Advance, Cordon the next turn. Or have a Vladisibirsk City Grid ready.

The list definitely has hard matchups, but 3 Spin Doctors and 2 Attitude Adjustment gives you a lot of control over agendas in HQ, and 2 NGO Front and 2 Vladisibirsk City Grid allow you to test scoring windows.

neat deck! what's the play with Pivot? would a third seamless not be better?
