Anarch Deck: Core+1Deluxe v1.2 (newbie tournament 23/8/15)

Took to a newbie tournament that was core + 1 deluxe only. Placed 5th of 13, losing to the eventual 1st and 2nd place players.

I was much more confident than with my Corp deck. The idea was to take advantage of the lack of Jackson Howard and trash lots of stuff to the archives. Then Inside Job whatever ice was there (worst case scenario - femme any other ice on it). In practice this deck had good luck tearing stuff apart, though it felt a bit of a hybrid between core and eater. I just love Wanton Destruction so much though!

First game was against the eventual champion. deck here. As it was my first tournament, I was still settling into it (though more excitement and hype than nerves in this case) and made several mistakes. Opponent was very patient (though I refused to take back bad moves on principle) and played very well.

Second game was against a relative newbie so was a relatively easy win - another very friendly opponent. Third game I got very lucky running R&D, trashing anything useless to archives, and re-running and managed to steal lots of agenda very quickly. Won within a few turns,very lucky.

My luck came to a grinding halt in the final game, against a player from my local meta who I've played many times before. deck here. I managed to trash the ice on his R&D at the same time as getting a Medium out, and just kept running and running. He was ahead (about 5-1) and I kept digging and digging but never found any agendas. Not sure I deserved to win, but definitely deserved something from my R&D runs. He held his nerve and scored out to win and take 2nd place.

Overall, a great day. I really enjoyed all my games and my opponents were very friendly. I will definitely tournament again.
