ConTāominate - 6th at San Diego Districts

Mostly Larrea's Tao from CBI but added in Contaminate because I thought of a punny name it's fun to be really explosive and get those snowballing deep digging Conduit runs that scored agendas, destroys the Corps board with Hermes, and ends up making you money with 3xAeneas Informant

Went a disappointing 1-2 on the day, carried by "my" Core Damage PD deck (courtesy of Toron). Ended up 6th bubbling out of Top Cut

R1 Loss vs OB (Big server, MAD >2x EOTL)

• Played this matchup a lot at weeklies, and it's volatile. Aneas can end up making you a lot of money off of the huge server (clicklessly w/ Hannah), but Forced Connection will stop you from doing that and the SDS hurt because my deck really needs the full rig.

R4 Loss vs Grinder PE

• Went to time, game was tied, 2 cards in hand, 0 in stack, and I stupidly tried to get 1 more agenda to win, but ended up dying to Fuji. I should have just accepted the tie. Most frustrating misplay I had all day. Oh well, if time wasn't called I definitely would have lost anyway.

R5 Win vs Reg PD

• Had some deep Conduit runs, was able to force shuffles due to Gatekeeper, but just couldn't find points. Finally won off of a lucky 1/5 in HQ, so the luck evened out.

Enjoyed Districts, good times. I have enjoyed playing this deck for the past 2 months, have had a lot of exciting snowballing Conduit runs, and determining when the right time to go full in is a fun puzzle, but I am retiring the deck for a while. After a while it felt very much "Ignore the board, build your rig, then dive for agendas". While that gameplan is not entirely accurate, I am going to look for a more interactive runner until Elevation switches thing up.
