Just play Sable [6-0, 5th at Americas Conts]

"Just play Sable" said the wise men, and they were correct. Otherwise, they wouldn't be called that. But I was bored of playing the same 40 blue cards, so here comes the shaper pile (original code name "Maggy2").

Surprisingly, this worked well, whether it was running 7 times with Conduit through firing Drafter or locking the Leo's Tyr remote with str5 Echelon (gamedragon was mvp more than once) and sweeping hq with Cup for the win. You can be aggressive with Overclocks early if you feel like opponent expects install shaper from you and puts valuable stuff in remote. You can recover when they slow down later.

Not playing against any AuCo in swiss probably also helped (games were BtL, Poetri, Leo and Nebula). Both cut games against Oppo / Regenesis AuCo were miserable from the start till the end (with no installed cards, credits or hand by the end), so you need to read the opponent to figure out where the points are and gamble touching them. Sometimes it's not an Anemone, but a mere Flyswatter.

Thank you Dave and Ian for beating my corp in the cut (Sokka's kill Nebula that went 3-2 in swiss and 1-2 in the cut), so this deck can remain undefeated.

Thank you Kyle for this deck name and great advice I did not follow.

Thank you gggg for support and brewing.

Thank you Cat for everything else.
