Tax Man 3-1 @NANPC Montreal 2024-08-24

Oppression by tags. Went 3-1 in Swiss at NANPC Montreal (7th of 34).

• Lost vs Terence on World Tree Arissana Rocha Nahu: Street Artist.
• Won vs Cullen on Zahya Sadeghi: Versatile Smuggler.
• Won vs analyzechris on Rielle “Kit” Peddler: Transhuman.
• Won vs Kyle on Hoshiko Shiro: Untold Protagonist.

Went to top cut, but lost vs Paul on Lat: Ethical Freelancer.

Game plan : Tag, tag and tag again, then flatline the runner.

Mulligan plan : ice or Oppo Research.

One ice of every kind possibly forces the runner to install every breaker, thus slowing the runner.

Based on the deck I brought to the last GNK in Montreal.

I noticed that I needed a proactive way to deal with the runner, instead of just waiting for the runner to mess up. Here are the changes:

• +3 Reaper Function
• +1 Project Beale
• +1 Gaslight
• +1 Marilyn Campaign
• -1 End of the Line
• -1 Mindscaping
• -1 Retribution
• -1 Rashida Jaheem
• -2 False Lead

This reflects the lessons learned from practice :

1. I never won a game with False Lead scored.
2. I need more economy.
3. Tutoring the needed operation is needed.
4. Having an extra chance to score a 3 points Project Beale is worth it.
5. I need to be able to reduce the card count of the runner below 4 with only one tag, hence the Reaper Function.

Big shoutout to Andrej and the organizers of the event. And a special mention for Maddie, who crochet an amazing bird mascot for everyone coming to the event.

Thanks to all participants, it was a blast!

Cheers!
