Cayambe Accumulator

obscurica 1317

Deck inspired by a discussion with Josh Brzinski, over Twitter. Val isn't rotating out soon, though losing Blackmail and Data Leak Reversal means that the original shell that made Valencia great won't be available in a couple months.

That doesn't mean she doesn't have options, though. Heap-breakers like Paperclip are even more efficient if their recursion cost is discounted on bootup, and that in turn makes for even easier server access. BP also easily makes up for Whizzard: Master Gamer moving on out, since you can use it as recurring trash credits every run.

Or you can not trash the asset and just load up on credits, Bad Pub tokens, virus counters, and hand destruction shenanigans. Accumulate resources, see?

Outside of the central gameplan, there are the usual answer suites and tricks:

  • Employee Strike neutralizes ID effects that might circumvent your runs.
  • Rebirth is necessary in general for Val, since her ID ability only works at the start of the game. Double down on HQ plundering with Alice, Make mockery of glacier strats with Null and Omar, or just trash their Operations with Edward Kim.
  • Guru Davinder neutralizes damage-oriented kill strategies while being compatible with Bad Publicity.
  • Clot because FA shenanigans happen.

Overall pretty straightforward.

Itinerant Protesters and Raymond Flint seems like obvious includes!

@zmb Raymond's rotating, and EStrike, I feel, is a pretty necessary check against a lot of common corp decks right now. At least, it's more reliable.
