Greytongue

I'm going to use this space where I normally post strategy to let you know I'm going by Grey instead of Greg currently, which came partnered with the decision to present as non-binary over the last few months, which has been a very positive and enjoyable experience. My last name is Tongue, hence the name of the deck, but conveniently Esa's tongue is also canonically grey.

Going to have to call out Sokka for being a huge coward and calling his Esa deck "fast" when he believes that an aggro deck in 2023 has time to both install and pop a Fermenter. Why do that when you can draw your whole deck in 5 turns and then loop multiaccess until you win or hit Snare and then blame your loss on your opponent being a scumbag net damage casual?

I honestly can't provide actual advice on how to play this. I sucked at Noise back in 2016 and I think I suck at this deck now, I run Archives way more than I should and I tend to fall for tricks. It's a very solid tier 1.5 list with the needle tipping towards tier 1 depending on your meta, and I find it the most fun runner in the format. I'm confident you could find ways to improve this shell and I leave it to more skilled players to do so. I leave you with an average turn 2 for the deck:

Grey started their turn 2 with 12c and 4 cards in their Grip. Grey spends click and pays 0c to play Diesel. Grey uses Diesel to draw 3 cards. Grey spends click and pays 5c to play Sure Gamble.
