Smokin' Hot - 1st Place Wrexham & Chester SC's

This is the deck I piloted this weekend to secure back to back victories in both the 13-player 4th Planet Games SC in Wrexham and the 14-player Tabletop Game Shop SC in Chester.

This is the modified list for Chester. Wrexham had +1 Career Fair, +1 Clone Chip, -1 Rumor Mill, -1 SMC.

Over the course, the deck won 9 of its 10 games. Losing only to a fast advance ETF.

I designed this deck purely with click compression and consistency in mind. 25 of the 40 cards in this deck provide some for of economy and/or card draw, substituting many of the silver-bullets you could add for cold hard money. Starting hands are really consistent and almost always contain econ.

Desperado may seem like a wild splash here, but it combines so well with the "on successful run" triggers that this list is littered with.

The in-faction breaker suite is solid and I personally think its wasteful spending inf on. And we can mitigate the bad-side of Blackstone using Datasucker. Just let it be known that Refractor is far superior to Houdini in that you can pump refractor for profit on Net Mercur every time you run converting into hard stealth $$$!

A special mention to Equivocation, that was turning heads on the day. It's a cheaper RDI that gets around the problem of being able to dig deeper on repeat runs. It also allowed me to dodge a QPM from the top of R&D while I was tagged during one game. It could potentially dodge other nasty cards like Snare too! Let's just say this card earns its slot.

The rest of the list is pretty obvious stuff. Lets just break the myth that you "need" many Cloak's and Ghost Runner's to run stealth. All you really need is Net Mercur. Hence there are 3 of them.

In regards to Clot, I disregarded it because it doesn't suit the tempo of the deck. That and I made a meta call (which turned out to bee the wrong call with all the fast advancy HB). It didn't suffer too badly from missing it though.
