Cyborg of Theseus (1-3 @ AmericaODC 2025)

List made with the assumption of double rounded swiss and full intent of finishing rounds. It was a nice first experience.

Fairly aggressive deck trying to exploit the powerful Tsakhia "Bankhar" and Raindrops Cut Stone core. Draw gives the ability to take damage, which are leveraged to get through the entire deck fast, racking up Fermenter counters to do critical rig installs on demand. Said rig only has 2 real pieces in Laamb and Begemot, to minimise the necessity for "taking turns off installing", because cards in hand will always be vulnerable to damage.

Flex slot:

• Mimic is here specifically for Saisentan, which is one of the worse ICE this deck can encounter blind.
• Hippocampic Mechanocytes are here to allow the deck to grind past what would be a normal amount of core damage, either for Begemot, or for ID-sabotage purposes, it can also reduce the range of kill decks
• Retrieval run: the ability to return the sole copy of Laamb can be valuable. After playing, I suspect it's possible to churn fast enough through the deck to reliably recur a discarded Laamb with Labor Rights, rather than have to use an expensive and conditional piece of recursion.
