Shadow Muy-Thai v4

tzeentchling 1550

Recently placed 2nd (tied for 1st) at a 20-person ANRPC qualifier in Berkeley, CA, going undefeated across 5 rounds. Played against a variety of corps, including a Biotic NEH, standard RP, SanSan/Scorch Titan, Marcus Batty + Wormhole HB EtF, and IT Department EtF.

It's based off of my deck I piloted to Top 8 in the Santa Clara regionals, trading in a single Plascrete and the Cerberus Rex for a pair of Drive By. This card is fantastic, as it lets me avoid Batty, pick off Ash/Caprice, and win econ wars against San San City Grid and Adonis/Eve campaigns.

Since I've dropped Rex, having a good code gate breaker is important, so I chose to go with Gordian. Zu could be used in a pinch, I suppose, but Gordian's strength keep was valid more than once (especially in the IT Dept matchup). If you were to go with Zu, I'd recommend trading in the Hades Shard for a third R&DI.

Everything else is typical good-stuff criminal. Use Leela's bounces judicially to open windows. Sometimes you have to gamble that their score gives you the opportunity you need.
