Looks neat! Asmund Pudlat cannot tutor Hush.

@Kobayashi Ah yeah, your right. I suppose I was: A) Stoked about hushing NBN ice B) Hush can move to different Ice! I genuinely skipped that part on the card when playing on Jinteki.

I’ll edit that bit, to not include hush in the Asmund tutor.

Thanks for posting this! I have been brewing my own deck like this for a bit, so it's interesting and exciting to see what others are doing. I didn't think of the Doll icebreaker though. I went boat and another botulus. Will have to try some of your ideas. Definitely adding Asmund in.

@AKSpiritBurner Thank you for the kind words.

I've been playing +2 Imps, -2 Scrubbers. I feel you get a bit more milage out of Asmund Pudlat to tutor out your destruction as well as your access and money.

7/10 would recommend.

Sick! Decklist of the week! Thanks guys, much appreciated and flattered.

Just FYI for anyone who was like "Where are the boats?", I'd recommend looking at this version of the deck here.

It was based off the brief chat Metropole Grid had about the state of Anarach in Startup right now.

I like the deck - I’m wondering how much benefit you get off the Marrow - and whether just playing t400’s would give you almost the same benefit but without the being a liability against HB decks on Ontological.

@Baa Ram Wu Valid substitute, admittedly I probably over looked the T400s and just went to want was considered the go to consoles for Anarch.

I've favoured Marrow due to the memory, the sabotage but mostly for the hand size for 2 credits.

Depends how you feel about, you might want to sub out -2 Marrow for +2 T400 Memory Diamonds

I like the idea of Quetzal with Poison Vial, but I think I'd want to double down on that and include breakers that combo with it like Num and Boomerang

@Greasythumb Boomerang - Rotated from startup.

Yay a fun Quetzal deck! Always wanted to try this ID but never could figure out how to make it work. Bonus points for going all in on the Russian Dolls instead of Boat.

I've done a Standard version with the basic premise of 'Poison Vial in Quetzal' and the full Keiko and the Companions economy suite. It seems real strong. It gets in very reliably and fast and it's swimming in cash. Using Twinning for accesses.

I made a Quetzal deck using System Gateway & *System Update 2021 netrunnerdb.com

That deck you made looks fantastic!
