5th place PSI games: A table in your face V3

ryanbantwins 2748

This is the deck I piloted during the PSI games yesterday organised by Stimhack.com. The deck went 3-1 with wins against Gagarin, NEH, HB etf and a loss against the number two playing Haarp were I survived three murder attempts because of IHW.

Latest changes were cutting the fall guys for Career Fair and Drive By, adding extra money with Liberated against midseason and a DDoS as a 4th blackmail.

Did you find the clot that useful? Without Clone Chips it seems like the clot threat isn't that great. I guess it can sit on Personal Workshop and threaten to come off at any time.

Due to 3 PW being necessary I'd wager he just relied on being able to deja vu and rehost it, which is roughly the same thing, so long as you get it first, which is what Djinn is for.

Exactly what @x3r0h0ursaid. Also, I'm perfectly fine that they can Fast advance sometimes if they use their CVS against my Clot. That means that the Big Dig will hit. A second clot could be usefull, but I noticed that they blow up my PW pretty often and so far I'm okay with that trade of tempo loss.

What happens if you facecheck into a Swordsman?

I don't facecheck. The plan is to use blackmails for both the remote and R&D. Darwin and parasite are just a safety in case they are able to rez ICE because of Beta test or BP removal. Didn't use either of them this tournament because I didn't encounter a single piece of Ice :p

How was drive by for you in the event?

13 Oct 2015 ryanbantwins

I'm not sure I actually used it this tournament. There were a few good opportunities against bblum to use it, but didn't have the clicks or blackmails to follow it up. But it has been a MVP before in this deck. Trashing sansan, caprices, ashe and especially the possible cyberdexes in the remote. Drive by is just way better out of faction because nobody sees it coming. Against bblum there was a nice play available to trash an unrezzed jackson after a failed beta test. But I missed that play :(

Yeah was watching that match, there were 6 pts in archives. Nice include would have though it would have got a bunch of people off guard. Both the decks look fun to play, well done on doing well with these brews.
