Intentional Arissana (2-0-1 @ Rune&Board CO)

liadahlia 15

Aesop's and UAV Arissana with somewhat standard trojan and breaker suite and Aesop's UAV engine and mining accident for spice.

Deckbuilding decisions:

  • Mining Accident. Getting a bad pub will win you the game. But this isn't possible against every corp, so do not be afraid to play it at the first opportunity if you don't think it's possible to get a bad pub with it within 2 turns. You have infinite money, and the corp does not. 2 credits is nothing for you while 5 credits is 5 credits the corp will never get back. Try to play mining accident with a central access where you are also getting a value install with Ari (like Ika for UAV credits).

  • Conduit Pichacao Kyuban is the ideal wincon for this list. Getting to 1 bad pub lets us hammer RND rnd very cheaply with Kyuban and Pichacao. Getting 1 bad pub allows us to farm any 1c to break ice such as gatekeeper (a common one) very efficiently with Kyuban and Pichacao.

  • Takobi is better than Turbine in this deck because you can find ways to cheaply farm Takobi counter (once again, bad pub Kyuban Pichacao).

  • 1x Coalescence is all you need. Coal is a bad draw, you generally want to only pull Coal from Muse, and only if you have Aesop's on the table to immediately sell it next turn. Once it's in the bin you can pull it again with Muse or chip if you need more money. Also, Muse usually a better use as a tutor for SMC in most situations.

  • 2x Ika is just about perfect in this list. Install it every turn with Arissana and bounce it every turn with UAV for a clickless 2 credits. Better than other trojans because corp can't trash it until you host it on something. You can also sell Ika if you have muse in hand and don't need to tutor for other things. Pulling Ika from the bin/deck with Muse is more preferable than installing it from hand if you need to break something.

This list is fairly light on tech, 1x pinhole, but Arissana is so powerful at challenging remotes that she doesn't need it too much (and pichacao is great at dealing with hell remotes). 1x stoneship for the MU that needs it. This list is also reasonable against assets, you can farm Ika when there's no ice, Muse/SMC for paricia and DJ Loup when he shows up. You have a good enough economic engine to trash an asset a turn and recover from an oppo research. Of course if the corp foolishly place a weak ice on rnd you can farm it for money.

Have fun and farm some gatekeepers!
