Marmalade 3rd @ Hockley Regional, UNDEFEATED

Long ago, before the Blood Moon rose to terrorise us all, there was a fairer way to play HB. A deck that eschews the way of spam, for the way of jam. Here is the apotheosis of that idea. I've played iterations of this deck on and off for a year and this feels like the best its been for a while.

The principles of jammy HB have largely stayed the same over this time. Early game set up a remote and score early agendas, then transition to fast advancing the final points needed for the game.

This version leans more heavily on the fast advance aspect of this strategy using SfSS in various combinations to improve your opportunities to fast advance agendas to win.

Here I'll explain a few of the deck choices:

Econ (no Hedge Fund?!?!) - Lateral and BLC have the most important aspect for cards jammy, flexibility. I had previously experimented with UVC for its combo with Jeeves but it was too restrictive, requiring perfect setup to play and not allowing you to recover from going broke.

Agendas (EffCom? But that's a 4/2! You can't never advance that!) - EffCom is a powerhouse with SfSS even if we're not abusing it like CI7. It is almost as good as rushing a GFI early imo, turning your SfSS into a card that can fast advance a 3/2 for 0 creds or even fast advancing a GFI.

Tech Choices:

Ark Lockdown - best flexible tech slot in the game imo, deals with Clot/Siphon/Program recursion

Crisium Grid - Needed to beat Crims and Siphon Anarch, recur with Friends to win

Wrap/Turing - Good vs Faust/Eater decks

Thanks for reading! TLDR This deck is not as powerful as Moons but if you wanted to return to a style of HB that appeals to old school Netrunner principles, give it a go.
