This list has been a bit of a journey. I've been working on a no-trap horizontal PE deck for quite awhile now, which has had its ups and downs. I had finally settled on what I thought was a pretty good list. It could score. It could kill the runner. It very rarely won because the runner was out of cards in stack. It had Audacity in it even! It was a bit vulnerable in long games however. Runners have a lot of money and eventually you run out of assets. Then this thing happened:
So yeah, that quickly devolved into this list. It can still score (though not quite as well), It can still kill the runner. But it also has a much better long game in milling the runner out. I don't love that, but I do like winning games, so here we are. Moving on.
First thing we want to do is make a terrible remote protecting either Keeling or Bladderwort. Eventually the server should look like one of the above plus Warroid, Hokusai and an ice, ideally Diviner, but use whatever you have. Next priorities are ice for centrals and then creating more remotes with our econ cards,Moon Pool, Spin Doctor, Reaper Function and our one pointers. This puts the runner in a bind. They need to:
When runner fails one or more of those tasks, they lose. Also, you'll notice that we are not spamming the pieces of the terrible remote. We want to hold those pieces so that if the runner trashes part or all of it, we immediately reload it next turn. The only time we usually break this rule is if we can create a second, similar remote without compromising the first one. Only thing better than forcing the runner to deal with a terrible remote is forcing them to deal with two terrible remotes.
Everyone going to be like "This list is cool, but you should cut W2W" (or well, OK really, there going to be like "Thanks, I hate it. You're the worst. Also cut W2W" but I like to pretend). But this list really, really likes having your choice of a card or a credit every turn. It helps a lot with managing Bladderwort and you just need bulk of cards some times. Three influence is a lot but the only other card that comes even close to filling this niche is CSR Campaign, and that card is impressively bad. Don't cut the W2W. I've tried really hard to find a way to do that so I could get something like Vera in here and it just ends with lots of clicking to draw and the runner ahead on tempo.
Quick thanks to the Austin crew, who have helped a lot with the tuning of this deck. In particularly, Paillu and NetDad. Also, I just think everyone should know that Warroid was NetDad's idea, so really this is all his fault. Also, I've been trying to come up with a better name for this deck then "PE Assets" and have more or less completely failed.

I like this because I was toying with a similar idea, but without warroid tracker. I'll make sure to give this bad boy a spin. Thanks for the evilness! |

Neat deck! How have you found fairing against the Apoc matchup? I guess we hope the Anemone rez snipes it from grip… |

gdi I was also working on a warroid-less version of pretty much this list thinking I was cooking up something spicy, but you've just blown my spice levels out of the water.. |

Congrats on the dotw, you've been refining this list for a long time. Slops to Netdad for remembering that Warroid Tracker exists :P |

Good deck, but has some weaknesses. Decks that can install a multitude of very cheap (0-1 cr) cards can simply shrug off the warroid effect and 1 net from hokusai and only trash the important hosted cards (Bladderwort, Dr. Vientiane Keeling). That chooses the cards to be trashed doesn't help. Especially true for Freedom Khumalo: Crypto-Anarchist, he is pretty strong vs horizontal decks in the first place, here his tendency to install many cheap viruses (and 0-1 cr stuff like Acacia, Avgustina Ivanovskaya, Simulchip) makes him even stronger. Also, your ice have low str and only one must-break sub, making them weak vs Aumakua and Botulus (cards Freedom decks are full of also). Tried it vs a Freedom deck, result was what I expected, buut one cannot have everything :( |
Fun and well written write-up, quite entertaining.
Why use Tithe instead of something like Hafrún or Aiki?
Also, what do you thing of using the influence on Hostile Architecture, with one influence for Predictive Planogram, to replace the Wall to Wall (just an idea)?
Thanks for sharing!
