Punissuaq ☠️ [4th @ Colorado North CO]

My spin on this Punitive Issuaq list, placing 4th at the Colorado North Circuit Opener.

IMO, Data Loop is too pricy, both in influence and credits: Anemone may only fire once, but once is all it takes if you time it wisely. The extra inf lets us run a full set of both Seamless and Punitive, meaning we usually get to threaten the Issuaq counter or the Punitive kill, if not both, by turn 2 or 3.

The deck has performed extremely well in testing, though only went 1-1 on the day (took a bye, and a loss to a Steelskin Steve who piloted superbly).

If there's room for improvement, it's early game money, which can be a struggle if I can't stick a Rashida or Charlotte. Trick of Light is cute, and another way to cheese out our fake 7th point (from a Bio Vault, or a self-advancing La Costa; note that sometimes 1 adv can be enough!). But it can also be a dead draw, so tempted to cut it for money (probably Subliminal, or Mindscaping, which ensures Phoneutria has teeth; Hansei Review eats into Anemone food, and NGO can be a non-bo, if it baits the runner into trashing upgrades). If I cut Trick, I'll probably cut 1x Bio Vault as well.
