Apoc Whizz (3rd at DC Regional)

Went 4-0 with this Whizz in Swiss, and 1-1 in the cut.

The only changes I made were cutting some cutlery to add some extra conspiracy breakers. I kept the Spooned as card 46. The extra Paperclip is good against Rig Shooter, and the extra Black Orchestra has been helpful for triple-advanced Hortum. Not sure I actually need the extra MKUltra.

Round 1: Patrick on EtF glacier. Was able to land multiple siphons and the Apoc.

Round 2: Dane on Skorpios (ended up in 2nd place overall). It was a long, slow, careful game, but I managed to avoid losing any important pieces, with help from my MVP for the day, Employee Strike. Was able to eventually land the Apoc and win the game.

Round 3: Dan "Code Marvelous" on Blue Sun. Employee Strike was strongest in this match up. He was never able to use his ability, so he was constantly struggling for money. When I landed the Apoc, I killed 3 rezzed Curtain Walls!

Round 4: Matthew on CI. I was nervous about my CI matchup, but I managed to hand this deck its only loss for the day. First half of the game, I kept the Employee Strike in play. When he finally drew his currents, I was able to Siphon spam until he had no chance at winning.

Round 5: ID with Alan. I ended the Swiss rounds in 1st place!

Game 1 of the cut: Dan "Code Marvelous" on Blue Sun. I chose to repeat this matchup since his Smoke deck had given me my only loss in Swiss. Ended up pretty much a repeat of our first game, except without the Apoc: kept E-Strike constantly in play, siphoned whenever his economy started to recover, and eventually played Wanton Destruction for the win.

Game 3 of the cut: Jonas on EtF Moons (he ended up winning the tournament). I had not practiced this matchup enough, and I made too many critical mistakes, like not trashing Turtlebacks. I never drew a Siphon, and my critical mistake was going broke landing a Wanton Destruction. Apparently I hit 3 agendas, but he was able to Jackson them back before I could take them.

This deck is so much fun to play, and this tournament was my best performance so far! All of my opponents were great, and the community was so supportive. I love Netrunner!
