A couple meta aspects led me to bring this to the middle weeks of ESL. Most relevant:
Sentries are really good right now: Barriers get eaten up by Paperclip, codegates by Yog.0, but breaking sentries is hard, so slamming an early Archer is really good. Archer is a whopping 12 for MKUltra, which even the richest runners cant reliably pay. Hammer is also a decent 6/9.
You need a good answer to currents: and just playing your own feels embarrasing when runners have 6 copies or theirs. Standoff is a great answer, it both clears the current, makes you money, and then enables your drawn Archers. Hostile is even better, getting you a point.
With runners focused so heavily on surviving silly combos, they have less ways to get into servers early, letting you snowball with Tucana.
Wu wasnt very popular in the first week, this turned out real bad for me, with this inverting on the weeks i played this. This deck is pretty soft into Wu, mostly because Wu is unbeatable, but also because we just cant defend centrals well enough ever, or be fast enough, The Holo Man might change this slightly, but i couldnt find a way to fit it in.

amazing that the eternal super players are still finding new ways to exploit wording. a real high IQ move, if you will.
