I've got a rock! (Undefeated @ Italian Nats Crown of Lasers)

We really hit rock bottom.

I was determined to join Porkobolo's very exclusive Meteor Miners club, so I enlisted QtM for a couple of weeks to try and make the best we could out of Meteor Mining. We tried a bunch of Jemison False Lead builds, we tried some rushier or assety Ob decks, but ultimately what made the most sense was a Venti Matcha Latte shell with a worse win condition.

The game plan is the same old straightforward one: you build a very large remote so you have a lot of rezzed cards that protect each other, then you MAD for enough tags that the Runner can't clear. Then you Shipment from Vladisibirsk + Meteor Mining, usually with a Mavirus backup for Clot.

Gaslight was an absolute MVP, I tutored for it basically every time I fired Urban Renewal, and I shuffled it back with Spin many times so that I could have both MAD and Shipment. Getting MM in hand and keeping it safe for a long enough time is the hardest part but somehow we can do that.

This deck surprised me by being much better than my Runner deck, when I expected the opposite to happen. It got three rock kills against very real runners, plus a timed tie against Anarchomushroom. Just one win would have been a great achievement, but somehow we got to have real fun.
