The Boys Are Back In Server 1 [9th @ EMEA District]

A Teia fast advance baybeeee! Took this deck to EMEA online and London districts, it went 3-4 across both events, each time losing to a metamate who made cut and stole 5 points early with jailbreaks, and the eventual winner of the event. Weirdest two nickels I've ever earnt, but hey!

The core gameplan of the deck is simple: make an early remote, rush out some points, then either reinforce it with A Teia or close the game with your many fast advance tricks. With 3 agendas between hand and archives, 4 credits, and no other board presence, Audacity and Moon Pool can fast advance a 5/3, for example!

Specific card comments

• Project Yagi-Uda has a deeply underrated over-advance effect, especially in A Teia. Trojans got you down? Swap the ice out! They ran last click? Swap a card out, stick something new in there, A Teia install an agenda in the other remote. The runner ran but can't break an Anansi? Recite the Mti copypasta from memory and make them decide if they want to discover what that new ice is. Just want to reuse an Ablative Barrier or Hafrun? Pick it back up, go on, you deserve it. I will admit do rarely overadvance it, maybe less than I should, but it offers so much potential when you do for tricksy lines.
• Hafrún. It's here because it's a cute effect, I have a really nice alt-art from Ams, and I wasn't sure what else the slot was. YMMV, but I honestly don't mind it, especially since it eats DooFs for breakfast and we can naturally slot it in the middle of a server quite well. Too many hoops to jump through? Probably, yes.
• Send a Message. Here because money is a bit tight and I don't want to resolve Bacterial Programming on Jnet. The correct answer is slot a Regolith and play Bacterial, imo.
• The sheer number of two ofs: I'm indecisive, no real defense. Charlotte, Moon Pool, and La Costa would all be very good 3 ofs and would actively shore up issues with econ and finding closers, but slots are hard.

This deck has a scary ability to win from behind - your FA is cheap, can work off rough hands, and get a lot of points, but it's easy to overcommit to the remote and lose on centrals that way - resist the temptation! Maybe an Anemone for sniping deep dives and generally just putting a little pressure on via random damage is worth considering? Mavirus should also be in here - while there's not a lot of clot going around other viruses are prevalent and having an answer to them would be useful.

Don't have loads to say, deck's super fun, thanks QEH for bouncing ideas around (when I remember to actually share them...), thanks to Harmonbee for getting me to take a moment to breathe after an 0-2 start to the day that left me super tilted, and thanks to an anonymous source for suggesting Audacity Moon Pool because it's an incredible pairing!
