This is the Ob deck that carried me to 1st place at EMEA. It's directly based on what I took to ACC, with a few key events leading to small but relevant changes.
One of them was Silent Arbiter messaging me to ask me why I picked Vladisibirsk City Grid over Calibration Testing. I immediately felt really dumb and changed the deck to accomodate the obviously better card.
The other was playing two games against wowarlok on World Tree Ari at locals. He smashed me twice despite very bad draws on his part, which lead me to believe that the only way to salvage the matchup is to make the deck even leaner and able to function while staying low on the ground. This implied a bit of a rework of the ice suite to get cheaper, along with a last-minute Audacity inclusion (I never played it on the day, but that's also because I was lucky enough to never encounter WTA). Special thanks to cablecarnage who got very good at the deck and was able to give very well-reasoned slotting suggestions.
If you've seen the deck in action there's very little to explain. The board requires very diligent managing from the Runner lest you run away with the game, and while that is being taken care of you simply build an unassailable remote and score out. Save for extreme economic pressure from the Runner, it's not at all uncommon to score out by turn 8-9. The deck is hard to pilot, but exerts incredible psychological pressure on the Runner because every unrezzed asset you fail to check feels like a fuckup, and the chance of a disastrous facecheck is always there. Even at points where you're a bit fragile you look like an unstoppable monster from the outside.
This went 8-1 for me over the weekend, only losing a game to CobraBubbles understanding how important an early The Twinning can be.
This is where I would usually be a coward and go "oh there are so many people to thank, I could never do it properly, so thanks everyone"; but this was such a good trip that it feels worth it to try and do right by at least many of the people who made it great. This is such an amazing community and literally everyone is pleasant to interact with.
atien, porkobolo, cros, wowarlok, all the TOs and judges: THANK YOU for such an incredibly well-run event. I see many people citing it as their favorite tournament ever and I think I feel the same. Everything worked so perfectly and it was all thanks to you.

thanks to you all from the bottom of my heart. let's do this again sometime?

As I said this is a tough deck to pilot, so watching it played is pretty important to figuring out some key lines that might not be obvious. To help you with learning the deck, here are head judge Harmonbee's notes from the grand finals game:

Going into EMEA I was sure that the best corp deck would have to Ob, just not knowing which Ob. This is the best I have seen so far (from the near infinite possibilities of building Ob). Sad thought that I did not get to play against this deck (in standard) |

I said it during finals and I'll say it again; watching you play this deck is poetry in motion! Congrats on the finish, truly deserved I'm sad we didn't get to face off during the event, but thank you so much for your infectious enthusiasm for Ob and your willingness to talk slots during the event - I'd love to pick your brains some more and do some dedicated Ob testing in future <3 |

This is an incredibly cool deck with an incredibly cool pilot! I don't know if I can put into words how overwhelmingly happy I was to see you win. Ocassionally I get a nagging sense of outsiderness, the sense that even if Netrunner is a space supportive of queerness, tournament success and victory and visibility is not for us. In winning with this deck, you drove 400,000 tons of Superheavy Logistics Ship through the iceberg of my fears and pulverised them. EMEA has meant so much to me for so many reasons, and you've been a massive part of that!!! I'm so touched that I could help, in any way, even if it was just making sure you took time to breathe and stayed fed and hydrated on Sunday. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 |

Love this deck. Well deserved first place finish. On a personal note, looking forward to exploring this curious phenomenon of installing more than 1 ice on a server and this deck. |

Love you too three four ā¤ļø Really looking forward to getting to meeting you in person some day soon. Congrats on the well deserved win! |
You're horrid and lovely. I can't wait until it is declared that team mates never have to play against each other so that I never have to experience one of your horrific contraptions ever again, and instead can just sit next to you and watch you force somebody else to experience it instead.
