Deck valid after Sixth Rotation |
First Standard deck; first time publishing. Haven't even tried this yet, and I already know it's fragile, but I can't help myself. I'm not playing competitively at this point, and I love trying to make unlikely things work. So no Boat (naturally), yes Padma, and maybe Orca, Curupira, and 30 events? Hah. Let's see. The only way to install Orca is with Spark of Inspiration of course, so I'll need to get Upya in hand or on the board and out of the way ASAP (possibly via Into the Depths). And recurring any programs will be tricky/pricey with only Test Run. But contingencies are boring. Hopefully this is fun, if not any good. All thoughts and suggestions are welcome! And I'll report back once I've kicked the tires.

Unsurprising Update: 0-2 face-plant against A Teia. First game, I couldn't pull a breaker or Spark of Inspiration to save my life and lost 8 to 3. Second game, I ran into Saisentan, corp player named "event" and I was clearly done for. Both games, I pulled Orca before Spark of Inspiration. I fear I may have an unhealthy fixation on Orca (affordably installed) but I'm not ready to abandon her yet. For now, I need more draw (+3 Diesel, -3 Creative Commission), maybe some protective gear (+1 AirbladeX, -1 Prepaid VoicePAD), and probably some Self-Modifying Code (but I'm not ready to admit this last point yet). This is a Criminal deck in Shaper clothing, isn't it? Oh well. |

Other cards considered (in v1.0): Engolo for Hyperbaric (but too much MU), Pichacao for Upya (possibly better), and/or anything other than a program to get that 5th click for Deep Dive (just not sure what)...
