"Don’t you remember?"

To be honest, starting the day, I didn’t expect to win anything. My head was kind of spinning from the day before, and I brought a deck I have played before the weekend exactly once. I have never even played NEH, I think. I am a Jinteki player at heart. My thoughts were more in the line of: hey, Startup, what should I bring? Oh, I got this shiny golden ID from Jakuza, and I want to play that. Then I got a deck from Tugtetgut via lostgeek and I thought, uuu, I like that. Sounds fun. But let’s get to the point. Or rather the line:

I went 4-0 on the tournament, all kills. So here is the usual gameplan:

-Install Snares and Reapers for the accidental kill (I have seen it happen ;-) or for facilitating the final blow. If you meet a central focused Runner it is also good to keep them on HQ.

-Install Gaslight, usually to find End the line, or, if the Drago is missing, a Public Trail would do fine.

-Install / advance Drago, preferably behind ice for protection.

-End of the line, because, well, you have to draw the line somewhere.

Possible changes

-1 or -2 SanSan City Grid. I never even came close to considering to score out an agenda and usually just hid them somewhere, or shuffled them back with Spin doctors.

+1 Public Trail and / or +1 or +2 Funhouse. Maybe you can stick tags.

As a side note

Because I was so focused on damage, tag, kill, I forgot (especially in the final), that tags are also good for trashing resources. I was lucky, it didn’t bite me. But there is always some realization you have after a tournament and it is always good to give it some afterthought. I had a lot of discussion about certain moves.

Thanks

To Tugtetgut for the pleasure playing this deck and letting me publish it, and thanks to all the players at Swiss Nationals, especially the lovely TOs lukenukem and oggbonaian.
