Stealth Andy For SH League

ZiNOS 441

This is the Andy Stealth deck that I am using at Stimhack League II which is close to finishing now. Really good results with this deck, a bit stretched though since with only 4 breakers you have to take some really careful steps at setting up your rig and running the servers. Still, the ability to make Archer cry like a baby when facing Switchblade and living the dream with Desperado, Security Testing and Masanori running a remote server of Neh is really effective.

Try this and you will be pleasantly surprised. The 3 x Emergency Shutdown is specifically for the Blue Sun Matchups.

I'm surprised that you play a single Masanori. Even with Hostage, it seems pretty hard to get him on time!

Well, you start with 9 cards and Mulligan. Masanori is good to come, and with Hostage you can see him a reasonable amount of times. Hostage is in the place of the second Masanori because Kati Jones is a must have against HB Glacier and RP. The deck is more control than other faster versions and tries to beat NEH with the Legworks and good Security Testing Economy.

And BTW Masanori or Hostage is 36% in your opening hand, not a bad chance IMHO.

How much difference would +2 earthrise hotel -hostage -masanori would make, do you reckon?

Getting Earthrise (and econ) on you opening hand is always great.

I strongly believe that Masanori is much better than Earthrise Hotel in this specific build. You want to run all the time because of the security Testings and a Heavy Asset environment like the one we have now is ripe for the taking. Security testing run with Desperado and Masanori is much better than Earthrise hotel IMHO. Still, if you think that the deck is a bit slow against NEH with a good draw, you may have a point.

Try it out m8 and tell us :)

No, I guess it's my personal playstyle. I like making blind runs. And Masanory scares me. Earthrise gives me a peace of mind.
