Adam Goes on a Cruise (4-1, 23rd overall APAC)

MrStyx 226

The runner deck I took to APAC, my first major tournament, going 4-1 on the day (including beating the winning corp deck in Swiss). Based on a list I saw Sokka play on stream. Cut DJ Fenris and a Stoneship to make room for Engolo as well as slotting in 2x Rejig. Discarding a Femme to tutor for Endurance was always good, but often extra copies would sit around and never get installed so that might speak more to just how good the boat is. Rejig came in handy a few times but 2 copies is definitely overkill.

Was overall fairly satisfied with this deck's performance but was let down on Corp side by a very vanilla Sportsmetal list. While some rough draws contributed to the poor corp performance it also seems like Sports may have fallen somewhat in the current Runner-oriented meta.

As a Adam player, this deck scares and intrigues me. I'm assuming that the idea is to Emergent the Femme for free boat and not really need it otherwise?

Yes that's the main plan. Theoretically you can Emergent the second Femme to get the third although I don't think I've ever been in a position where that's seemed right before just drawing the third Femme naturally at which point they are usually just dead cards, although they can still be pitched to find Engolo in a pinch.

Your deck is awesome!

So far, I've liked DJ Fenris, because I was using Brain Chip and I'm more scared of Drago Ivanov, hence I use Misdirection and No Free Lunch.

How did Endurance perform in the different match up? The combo Emergent Creativity with Engolo and Endurance seems very potent to me and is making me rethink my deck.

Second question, do you think Boomerang could be a replacement for Endurance?

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, thanks for your deck. I just have one question: witch Directives do you use in this deck? Thanks a lot!
