Meia Lua de Compasso - 2-1 @Montreal CO 2024-07-13

THEMATIC MERCURY WORKS! This is pure criminal jank.

This went 2-1 at Montreal CO 2024-07-13, allowing me to get 3rd place (of 10 participants).

• Loss vs Paul on Barf Thule. Nothing to be done when that deckhas everything in hand on turn 2. It was a SHORT game.
• Win vs Eric on Murdermari. Every steal on centrals was due to Mercury ability and bypass allowed me the clutch steal.
• Win vs Eddy on Blast. Again, Mercury ability landed me the win.

Changes from the original deck list :

• -2 Diesel
• -1 Alarm Clock
• +1 Boomerang, to allow me to break second level ice for clutch run on a remote.
• +1 Sneakdoor Beta, to give me more "bypass".
• +1 Banner, because barrier are a very prevalent.
• +1 Hush, to deal with Anansi, but it allowed to also deal with Border Control.

The loss of draw power was really felt. If I had to redo, I would also swap the Blueberry!™ Diesel for Zenit Chip JZ-2MJ.

Sometime, Jeitinho can work, and it feels great, but it is hard to pull off.

This proved to me that a bypass archetype can work fairly well, especially for Mercury, who benefit a lot from bypass effects.

Game plan : Assassinate the corp leader. Sometime, along the way, you get all their agenda before that happen.

Mulligan plan : Swift or Jeitinho, this is a race against the corp turtling up.

Thanks fot all the participant, and a big shoutout to Nick and Paul for organizing and making this Circuit Opener happen, if was a blast!

Cheers!
