Beard Papa (AmConts Startup 6th overall)

This deck went 2-1 at the Cascadia American Continentals Startup tournament, beating a Mercury and Padma handily and losing only to a Esâ who pulled the game-winning agenda from hand when the win was in a server xe couldn't get into. Happens.

Wage Workers are great. Stegodon MK IV is secretly (or maybe not so) one of the best 3/1s that NSG has printed and might well be on a power level with AR-Enhanced Security. This deck isn't built to maximize it but expect to see it more. Vovô Ozetti, the Beard Papa himself, is a fantastic value card and absolutely worth a 3-of in most HB decks that care about ice. The ability to move at the end of the turn means he will almost never be useless, and if he is you've either been board wiped or all your ice is rezzed which is a win-win anyway.

Also M.I.C. is quite solid and has an ability to potentially end the run, always a win. Just don't let them approach and pay for Manegarm Skunkworks first before trying to fire it, there's no paid ability window there to use it. Lost an agenda that way.
