Advice Unheeded, Console Unneeded: 1-2 at ECG Lockdown

cablooshe 136

This list was made for the Emerald City Grid Lockdown Tournament

Point spend was:


This is basically "Normal control shaper but Akiko". There really isn't much special. I added the AirbladeX (JSRF Ed.) in preparation for some weird Jinteki shenanigans since Mti was legal this tournament, but I never played any of those so it wasn't really needed.

Also shaper consoles are overrated (or at least too many points for me to play). As I have been told many times, Cyberdelia is a very slow card. Buuuuuuuuuut if you consider that 1 card = 1 credit and believe that it's just as easy to break subroutines compared to trashing an event from any location, it's basically like being able to put 3x Aniccams out at the same time. So obviously it's the better choice.

(don't take my advice please this list reeeeeeeeally needs more draw and you get like 2 creds worth of value each game lol)

(But also I'm going to keep putting Cyberdelia in as many decks as I can because if I am going to run shaper I am going to be running big rig shaper).

I still love Atman. IDK how you shaper players deal with the whole "I want to SMC my breaker but I accidentally drew it" issue but my solution is to just have an alternative to play either way. Also Rigging Up value :D.

Aeneas Informant is such a cool card btw. GET 3 RUN A SERVER GET A BILLION CREDITS. Big fan of the game where I decided that the credits from Vladisibirsk City Grid and AMAZE Amusements was worth just tanking tags+possible agenda scores. Got a nice 12 credits from those runs I believe.

Na'Not'K is fine. I had the spare point for Echelon and that would definitely have been better but Na'Not'K is still good too. I kind of forgot this card existed for a bit and was originally putting this list together with Puffer. Glad I could get the 4 extra inf back.

Legwork in shaper is legit. I wish I had 2 of them especially with Aeneas because absolutely everyone is ICEing RND heavily when you're Akiko.


Thanks to @FireRL for organizing and everyone who played! Every single game played was so much fun, I'm really excited for when we do this again!
