Andromeda - Perfect Run (Worlds Top 8)

Cerberus 4887

This is the deck that went undefeated in the Worlds Winter Tourney and took me to the top 8 during the main event.

The idea behind the deck was to be able to kill NEH, but still have some viable options vs other deck types such as RP, Blue Sun and Red Coats.

NEH - The key cards against NEH are the cards that enable the perfect run, Desperado, Security Testing, and John Masanori (and ideally Datasucker and Dirtly Laundry). This allows for a 1 click, 3-4+ credits and a card which means that the remaining 3 clicks can be used for aggression, which is what is needed against NEH. The deck is designed to constantly go tag me against NEH. Sneakdoor may seem like a strange include, because of Security Testing but I found it better than Legwork in testing because because there is limited point NEH icing archives due to the large number of open remotes.

In Swiss this deck went against 5 NEH decks and lost only to 1, which was piloted by FF0X. In the top 16 it lost twice, once against Spags when I had a hand of no economy and mulled into a worse hand with no economy, against a player like Spags who was piloting NEH this was a death sentence. The other match it lost was against an NEH deck splashing a single Closed Accounts, which he had in hand after I Siphoned for all of his money, costing me just short of 20 credits. This was the turning point of the game and the danger of a tag me deck.

Non NEH - R&DI is needed against both NEH and Glacier and so was an obvious include, but Parasite isn't as useful against NEH, however I was finding that the deck had a terrible time against RP and generally wanted Parasite for specific glacier ice. 1 of Kati Jones just for those long games, and Emergency Shutdown for those big ice and to keep the economy pressure up.
