Argus Security

Brought this deck to a 28 player tournament at Snakes & Lattes (Toronto). After 4 rounds of Swiss, was 3-1 with the deck - all 3 victories were flatlines. Finished 12th (only 1-3 with Hayley).

The deck can play both agenda rush (and has some pretty beefy ICE for later game) and can also threaten the flatline.

Round 1 - created a bunch of remote servers, Valencia plays cards and then runs into a Snare! with a DRT on the table and dies.

Round 2 - Another Valencia player, playing I've Had Worse and Box-E to avoid getting scorched or otherwise killed. I bluff a Snare into a remote as a possible agenda (overwrote a PAD campaign), and rezzed Archer to protect my 'agenda'. He runs last click, continues to access and the DRT plus Snare! brings him down to 3 cards and a tag, and I'm sitting on double Scorch in hand.

Round 3 - Played against an aggressive Edward Kim deck that drew through his entire stack with 3x Earthrise and other draw cards. The little pings of damage from DRT, Argus ability, etc. speed that along. He runs through a Data Raven and can't clear enough tags before I scorch him.

Round 4 - Played against pretty standard PPVP Kate. I do a pretty good job taxing him with my servers and making him play around Scorched/Punititve. He legworks when I have 4 cards in hand and misses the Snare, and I make a mistake by not just pitching my 2 snares that build up there into archives to get shuffled in with Jackson. He goes for a super deep R&D dig with Maker's Eye and RDI and almost died, had he not hit the Government Takeover last card to go to 12.
