Dropping Demo Run makes me a little sad :).

Switching HQI for Legwork is a very good call for various reasons:

  • Stimshopping HQI, while awesome, might come too late against NEH.
  • Loosing your shop to Breaking News is less painful now.
  • Legwork is a surprise in one card, to do a surprise HQI run both HQI and Stimhack need to be in the grip and Personal Workshop on the table.

The bit I'm not sure if I get correctly is switching the second Femme for Mimic. Do you simply tutor for it against Jinteki for safe facechecks? Against NBN to not hit Caduceus unprepared and overwrite it later when MU issues arise?

Congrats on the nationals win! Good you didn't encounter any Jinteki PE kill deck... Normally I don't ever consider packing Feedback Filter into my decks, but here it would make perfect sense, I think (for the cost of a single deckslot you dismiss the only problematic archetype).

I also liked demolition run, but neh has much faster draw than twiy and its very important to scan hq for astros in 3/4 turn.

I switched 1 ff for mimic because i dont have always 6 more credits for mimi. And neh is playing mostly on rototurrets with only 1 grim. And jinteki is playing komainu or tsurugi. I have enough tutors to switch later mimic for ff if neccesary.

Feedback filter is useless vs most of decks. 1 Levy lab is better since i put same old things. I dont use any defense cards because i targeted to win with fa and glacier decks and it was worth.

Got it.

But what would Levy do for you here, except for giving a slight edge over PE? Not much I feel, by that time all you need is on the table. Can't imagine paying 5 just to reset Legworks.

Obviously you did a great meta call not wasting the slot, but if you suspected to encounter some PE wouldn't Feedback Filter work in fact better then Levy in this build?

I'm not dying to pe because of too much damage in single run. I'm running only with multi access after diesel/quality time. I'm dying beacuse my deck is too short and i'm out of cards around 6 AP. With levy i can just restore it. And still levy has some minor use in other matchups. And feedback filter is too expensive even with a lot of 4xMO turns.

I imaginge you would not Stimhack much against PE, generally those decks are low on ICE, so Stimhack is less needed for deep server hacking?

The PE matchup is a complete joke, you don't need to tech against it with this deck at all.

Of course vs PE stimhack only in extreme situations. Vs Weyalnd it's safe to play 1.

How were you not stay broke this whole game? I just played this deck on Octgn and I was soo broke. Didn't realize there was no Sure Gamble. MoOpus didnt show up until so late

This deck is very reckless ... I like that. But I got some questions: Why Maker's Eye on top of RDI? Why the the extra Corroder and Gordian? Do you go for Opus asap with Draw/TR/SMC pretty much neglecting everything else untils this happens (surely kind of fast though)?

On starting hand need to be opus or tutor for it. Or at least quality time. With 40 cards there are no possibility for bad start with mulligan.

HI why the two corroder would you not consider a paraite instead? Have you made an any additions to the deck since the nats?
