I nearly won a game with this so now I'll publish it

Cliquil 1226

There's an etiquette to NRDB in my mind, some of us stick to it, others do not.

Today I'm not. Today I'm the person publishing some jank that hasn't gone through all the stages of the sweaty montage up to being a perfect encapsulation of a good deck.

I'm sure you want me to put the work in, to make this work, but I'm done. This deck is too dumb an idea, the combinations to prone to failure, the stress too high. So here it is.

It nearly won a game. It'll nearly win you some too if you want.

So the combination is to use Zato to trash a Karuna for 2 net damage going and getting an Anemone, rezzing it to do a further 2 net damage. If they were on 3 cards that's it. If they're on 4 you might be able to still win with some combination of Georgia Emelyov and Pri Sec, or City Works and Emelyov. Perhaps you win because you've got more Karunas.

But maybe they've got Pinhole and find the Zato instead of a Pri Sec and you wheep the sad tears of those who reached for the joy of the unknown but have fallen away.

I suspect this might run better out of Jinteki using ZATO City on Bathonymous or the Anemone. Using ZATO City on a Karuna to pull in an Anemone is a 4-net encounter and the difference between 4 net damage and 3 net damage might not usually matter enough to make Ob the best identity for this.

In Jinteki, I suspect that Dr. Keeling will be useful for setting up must-run situations on low hand sizes and 3 Obokatas makes it somewhat easier to play a never-advance game. (If I were running this out of Ob, Urban Renewals might help in place of Keeling).

You're right that there's probably a PE deck that throws ice at people and wears them down. I suspect it'd also wear me down as i played it as well! :D
