Eternal points

3 Estelle Moon 2 Friends in High Places, 1 Spin Doctor, 1 Project Vacheron

This deck went 2-3 on the day and felt way less strong than i had anticipated. I tested a similar version in 2018 when Estelle Moon was still legal and it was almost unbeatable but it turns out, that a lot of runners in eternal can actually deal pretty well with assets, even if you can recur them with Friends in High Places. Game Changer and Fast Break are also not as impressive if you lose a Project Vacheron early which happened in all games i lost. I think some changes can make the deck better though:

The Future is Now is actually a pretty strong card to find your missing tool or just a Estelle Moon to get going, especially against decks like dyper which does not interact with you at all early.

Domestic Sleepers can get more agendas into the score area of the runner without increasing the points, which i considered but could not find the slots.

Ablative Barrier was less impressive than i thought, but that might have been because i played against a lot of runners that only made me rez ICE when i was already losing by a lot.

I think the deck was still fine, but there might have been a better deck to play, but eternal is wild and unpredictable ;).

Thank you @Jakuza and @Pinsel for doing so well and being the awesome human beings you are.
