THE DEATH EGG

My Phật building counters

This is a list that I've been iterating on for about 3 days, I think it still has a bit to go but whatever you might enjoy it. It went undefeated today at a GNK alongside my runner deck and also has a high winrate on jnet (Neither of these realistically give that much info about the strength of the deck, we'll have to wait and see if lists like this keep winning more tournaments :) For what it's worth both Jnet losses were HEAVILY teched against assets)

The general idea is that we want to slap down nasty assets like Phật/Bladderwort/Cohort/Reaper and protect them through various means. The simplest way to do this is with Hostile Architecture, you can jam that alongside Angeliques and Mahkota Langit Grids to make it a ridiculous ask for the runner to trash. Also depending on gamestate and matchups you'll want to "upgrade" the defense of the actual assets too with these cards and ICE.

The primary gameplan of this deck is "upgrade" assets and position the runner to die to simple things like a Blood in the Water score. You can reach this by obtaining Au Co counters and drawing so many cards that only anti-assety decks can really keep up.

This deck has many lines and it can feel quite hard to play at times. You MUST keep an open mind and be ready to try some very weird things to win, if your opponent understands what is going on you will only win if you truly outplay them.

Historically I do not like kill decks but I love this one, you may feel the same if you try :)

.... They cannot keep up with you forever.... Egg can find victory.

secret PS if you made it this far: i swapped out a peer review for a byte! because i thought people would be wanting to see a friendly byte! in any jinteki decks on the day... just swap it back (OMG you can even upload your own epic decklist without it conflicting with mine!!! make sure you give me a biiiiiiig thanks pleading emoji)
