Cancel your weekend, Cascadia Gunslinging Edition (5-2)

CephalopodWizard 344

Hello fellow bipeds

This deck, first appearing here, is what I decided to bring to Cascadia to play against players who challenged the staff for prizes.

In a fascinating coincidence of convergent evolution, this has a lot of bones in common with Dial EA for Murder, in that Your Digital Life and Sudden Commandment are pretty busted cards that we can use to power a rush gameplan! Good luck to all Buzzsaw users who need to break a Piranhas in the early game! I'm not trying to murder though. That seems rude.

The main change from the previous version is that I realized I had never played a single Predictive Planogram, so I had 3 free deckslots to work with! I split 1 degree mill into a Post-Truth Dividend and Tomorrow's Headline (for easier scoring, and a higher chance of hitting something with Kingmaking). I added 1 more Subliminal Messaging, because that becomes Biotic Labor when combined with Sudden Commandment, and Jua to have a liittle bit more ice. That "cannot install" effect is an incredible problem for runners, it lasts the whole turn, not just the run!

Maybe I should describe how this deck works

This is an all-in rush deck. The dream is to score a Kingmaking, adding Superconducting Hub to your score area. Or just score a hub manually. This sets you up for big YODLs, Piranhas ending the run, and having the right cards in hand for Sudden Commandment combos.

Sudden Commandment is really good y'all

It draws cards! It combines with Subliminal Messaging to become Biotic Labor! It combines with Biotic Labor to become double Biotic Labor! Scoring Kingmaking from hand is entirely reasonable! It combines with Seamless Launch to become, you guessed it, Double Seamless Launch!

YODL is really, really good

My high score on Cascadia weekend was 10c on a YDL, from just a Rashida fire and some Superconducting. This allows you to make decisions like:

"Biotic Labor is a perfectly serviceable Seamless Launch".

"I install a 3rd Piranhas on the remote"

"I'm feeling pretty good about scoring Degree Mill as my first agenda, now Threat is online."

It may sound busted, however
