Congrats on the place! Looks like you had some pretty hellish strength of schedule there, heh.

Dropped a draco for a wraparound, eh? I could see it - AI is becoming more of a thing again.

I've been playing with -1 jackson +1 fast track. Not sure if its the right call, but seems decent.

I actually had your same exact deck card-for-card, but it wouldn't let me publish (because it was exactly the same). Going forward, however, I would swap out Draco for Wraparound. I wasn't running into AI, but Parasite. Can't parasite a Wraparound until you've got the Fracter.

Yeah, my SoS was something like a 98 at the end of the tourney! Really tough competition.

I liked the one-of Fast Track. It's terrible when behind, and bonkers when you're ahead. I wouldn't want to have 2 in my hand if I'm behind.

Yeah. You clearly never want 2 fast track in hand - i just wanted to hit 1 with more consistency in the mid game, where fast track is bonkers.

Its actually quite good, but good enough to justify the loss of a jackson - i'm not so sure about that yet. Being able to simply install a jackson and force a remote run is pretty powerful, his actual printed abilities notwithstanding.
