Freddie Mercury's Shortsmetal

This is the deck that carried me to 1st place @Hamburg SC and 3rd place @Rosenheim SC, with a total score of 9-0 (doesn't mean too much nowadays as Corp I guess).

Nothing new or too fancy, just another Arella Sportsmetal Rush/FA hybrid but this one wants to actually score in a remote.

No big tricks, just non-stop slaming into the scoring remote. The last two points mostly needs to be fast-advanced out of hand because you literally have no lategame, most ICE is pure gearcheck with very low binary use. Its still so much fun to see runners trying to contest the remote every single turn with their pants down while you keep on slaming and scoring out agenda points in ludicrous speed without losing any tempo.

It has some amazing matchups against modern crims and anarchs, a very good call for the current meta I dare to say. Ofc still suffering the same weaknesses most rushdecks have. The deck is some kind of pet project since the early days of R&R and had endless changes in the past, but this build feels very consistent and forgiving. Easy to pick up and play, concentrate on an early scoring server and pay some attention to your ID and Grid triggers. MVP's here are definitely Tranquility Home Grid & Cyberdex Sandbox (numbers on those cards are bonkers).

Name is taken because some guys think there are some striking resemblances between Freddie and myself, I guess mostly because of the mustache and the sexyness. Freddie surely would loved to jam into remotes, too.
