CAW! CAAAW - Undefeated at World's

I was having fun with CtM just before World's. I knew I couldn't play Sunday so I decided to split my inf pretty evenly between green and purple to maximise confusion during swiss.

The deck did amazing, going 6-0 (7-0 if I include the round 6 "just for fun" game).

1. Psychographics + Project Beale vs Odol's Wu who failed to clear enough tags as I kept him busy with trashing Amani Senai
2. testrunning on Freedom stole a Bellona early. This lead to Hard-Hitting News into turn 6 BOOM!.
3. Rotage on Wu kept clearing tags with Misdirection. But couldn't clear SanSan City Grid so I scored out.
4. Motion Blur on Steve had Citadel Sanctuary for the matchup. But Eventually I stuck enough tags to trash it to land BOOM!.
5. I failed to find BOOM! vs milla's Steve after landing HHN. But I had a rezzed SSCG, a Bellona in hand and I drew Psychographics.
6. I IDed vs anarchomushroom but we played the games for fun. I had a dream opener with 2 Rashida Jaheem and Commercial Bankers Group and just outtempoed Maxx.
7. 241 vs Kubik161 on Maxx. Ran too soon, ate a boom.

Reflection on card choices:

• Many 2 ofs which means either the deck is super refined or not refined enough. I never felt like I drew Hard-Hitting News too late, Mumba Temple is often unused for several turns and Hedge Fund is just a good card (although I hear Regolith Mining License is more fashionable).
• AR-Enhanced Security is key in the currently popular CtM decks but playing 15 Minutes gives more options for closing games when AR-ES is missing.
• Drawing to find key cards is key so I stuck with 3 Daily Business Show. Predictive Planogram also ensures the deck always has enough cards in hand.
• Having a variety of tag punishment operations with BOOM!, Exchange of Information, Psychographics and Predictive Planogram ensures that the runner is not safe at any number of tags.
• Again a focus on variety of threats with the ice suite. Drafter is to force a killer install without spending 10 on Hydra.
• Mumbad Virtual Tour is great and I would like to find space for a second copy, especially if Salsette Slums becomes popular.

Despite this deck doing great, my runner games went way worse and I ended 35th.

I'd like to thank all my opponents, the organisers and all the folks who tested against this deck.

The crow is always right.
