Pre-rotation decklist |
Since meat damage seems to not have much presence at my local store meta, I might as well attempt to make a butchershop deck. With some practice on Jinteki, this deck has been getting very efficient in getting the pieces needed and getting the kill. Now let's talk about how you are going to burn down the runner's apartment to a toasty crisp and win the new Cold War in Cyberspace.
Major points of the deck:
Breaking News and 24/7 News Cycle (Just tag my shit up fam): Your main method of getting the tags on the runner. You must have Breaking News and another agenda (preferably a one-pointer or so). Forfeit the other agenda to trigger Breaking News for the two tags. This now enables the Traffic Accident and Scorched Earth to fire. Never forfeit your 2 pointers unless you are for certain you can flatline a runner and they do not have a IHW in hand. There is also one Midseason Replacements if they steal and agenda last turn and have the credits to overwhelm them with credits, then land those tags at will.
Scorched Earth and Traffic Accident (Howl like a cowboy as you ride the bomb as it drops): This is the bread-and-butter, and the main win condition, of this deck. While you only have two Scorches, one Scorch and one Traffic Accident is enough to burn the runner to a toasty crisp. The downside is that it will be harder to get the kill if they install a Plascrete Carapace. Thankfully, you have an secondary win condition....
AstroScript Pilot Program (What, you did not think I would ever be original with the Agenda Suite?): Well there is only two, being that the card is on the MWL now. However, you will be able to have enough Astro-train out one and score out Project Beale to get to game point. There, you can threaten out a win with a two-one agenda.
Jackson Howard and Sensie Actors Union (Get those cards fast and hard): If you get any of those out, get them out quickly. You want to be getting the pieces to need to get your primary win condition before the runner can really react. One turn is okay to fire Sensie Actors Union if you get what you need, and the runner is going to have to spend a click to trash it so this will provide some minor set-back for them.
Other considerations and weaknesses to the deck:
There is only nine ICE in total to your ICE suite, hence you are not going to hold up in the late-game. This deck is made to kill the runner efficiently and quickly. The other thing that might hurt is a good ol' Account Siphon. If your opponent is playing Criminal or think they are spamming Siphon, then put up a Data Raven on HQ to deter them. If you feel that is not enough, feel free to switch out Closed Accounts with Targeted Marketing and name Siphon. Econ is only Hedge Fund and Sweeps Week, with Pop-Up being a slight defence. The Reclaimation Order is used to get back your used Sweeps Week or Hedge Fund if necessary. Perhaps even Traffic Accident or Scorched if the runner is not Southern BBQ at this point.
Now, go on and yell like a cowboy as you ride the bomb down and burn the runner into oblivion in the Cyber Cold War!
