Tempeh (Traditional Javanese fermented soybeans)

Can't beat Hivemind MaxX? Missed making remotes? Degenerate Spombo decks not your thing?

I got you.

Having lost both Tour Guide and Turtlebacks to rotation and with every criminal deck playing 2-3 copies of Miss Bones, Near-Earth Hub hasn't looked particularly great for a while.

But not anymore. Sportsmetal and BTL crushes criminal and practically pushes them out of the meta completely. Enter Tempeh the same old spam you know and love, but with a wincon.

I've played exactly 14 games with this deck and won all of them. Undefeated on Jnet, I know, though this also includes my games from 'Quarkbutter's online GNK' so also at a tournament.

The gameplan is simple. Install assets and draw cards. Lots and lots of both. The recent reintroduction of Spin Doctor protects you from flood which is something previous versions of this archetype suffered from a lot. After you've established a good boardstate, preferably one with Amani Senai, you can start scoring behind literally any piece of ICE and an Anoetic Void or naked from the board.

Alternatively the runner exposes themselves to Hard-Hitting News and you can just Psychographics your points or Exchange some Information. The latter is the flexslot of the deck, but I can't bring myself to cut it with Tomorrow's Headline also being in there.

A few fun interactions are:

• Daily Business Show and Spin Doctor rez on the runner's turn.
• Drafter fire, Void and NEH, this one is my favourite as it almost completely negates the cost of triggering Void.
• Amani Senai and runner cards such as Progenitor and Knobkierie.
• Amani Senai and Bellona.
• Exchange of Information and Tomorrow's Headline.

The list used to have a copy of SanSan City Grid, but I cut it for a 9th piece of ICE. I don't regret this, but I do like the SanSan especially for fighting Apocalypse decks, though I'm scared to cut econ and the other pieces feel essential.
