Swappy Boi, now with less swapping (5th Dutch nationals)

clercqie 352

This is my Corp deck for the Dutch nationals that went down this weekend. MTI is a known quantity at this point, so you don't need me explaining why it's a good deck. I did went a little bit against the grain in some ways:

9 agenda's in the hope you can be a bit rushier, which fits my playstyle better. With the 8-agenda suite, the only agenda you want to score early is Nisei. If you have to score a 5/3 early, it usually sets you back a whole bunch. Here, a Sales Team early is worse than a Nisei obviously, but Sales Team does give you some good drip. I've played GFI for the longest time, but switched to Obo, since I can now use the influence for the full 3 Fairchilds and 3 IP Block. Taxing ICE with an ETR (sort of), so it increases the rushing potential while keeping the taxing properties for the late game. Obo is potentially more risky since it's an actual 3-pointer, but I've had games where the Runner couldn't steal it.

The Philotic is fantastic, since you can never-advance it. If it gets stolen or you have to score it early to clear EStrike, your lategame becomes somewhat worse, since the Runner can camp the remote until you go Install-Advance. So that's what the Shipment from Tennnin is for. I like it, whatever. :-)

The rest of the deck is self-explanatory, I believe.

Played against Valencia (win), Hayley (win), Smoke (loss) and Pirate Geist (win) in Swiss. Round 5 I got to ID to the champ @ryanbantwins.

In the cut, my only and final Corp game was a loss against Alex Hilsson's Valencia. Tight game though, where it came down to the wire. But a Turntable that swapped my early scored Obokata and thus set me back in points, kinda did me in. Omar + Turning Wheel sealed the deal. Great game though!

I had a blast during the weekend. Shoutout to David and Kelf for organazing, all my opponents during the day, the AirBnB-crew for general awesomeness, @michiel.questier for repping MTI for so long already, and of course @ryanbantwins for taking the whole thing down. Belgium reprazent!! :-)
