Knives Out Freedom

knives out Thanks @analyzechris for the Photoshop job

Is the deck good? Possibly. Does it work quickly? Yea, its pretty fast. Do I know how to play Anarch? Not really. Should you try this deck? Yea, if you want.

I did some tweaking to the deck after facing it with Diogene piloting and came up with this more disruption based approach to Freedom, focusing my play mostly on HQ and remote disruption instead of the R&D pressure that this list leveraged before I came and messed with it.

The idea is simple, Knifed . Stab the remote, slice HQ, create the openings you need with Pelangi, Yusuf, and the various sources of Virus token drip.

When you're all done, just shuffle them back in and keep going.

Simulchips are there to help get yourself up and running again after a purge or if you run out of Imp or Pelangi tokens.

The strange include of a single Archives Interface is there to hit CVS's hidden in archives or just to remove things from the game so they cant get preemptive'd or spun back into the deck

Recently I brought this to the first In-Person SC in NYC and it went 2-2:

Round 1 vs Sanjay

Loss vs Sync - You can't imp QPMs. I gave him the final 2 points he needed to win.

Round 2 vs Rongydoge

Loss vs Sportsmetal - I got a lot of early steals, then missed a 2 in 5 HQ access for the win on the final turn before he rushed out

Round 3 vs Arcgate

Won vs PD - It is much easier to steal an agenda when it needs to sit on the board for a turn, and knifing away all the ice protecting said remote makes it smooth sailing.

Round 4 vs Groenkaaf

Won vs Sportsmetal - The same as Rongydoge's sports list, but this time I was able to disrupt enough to prevent the fast advancing win

I really like the inclusion of Blackstone and MKUltra. I'll try this!

Here is a suggestion (from an unpublished iteration the my deck) : replacing Zer0 by Moshing. It gave me better control and let me get to the core cards faster.

Also, do you think Clot could give you an edge against fast corp, instead of Archives Interface?

Thanks for sharing the deck!

Thanks I might give that a try!

I think clot would give an advantage against fast corps for sure, but I don't think cutting the archives interface is the way to find that slot. The interface has actually been very helpful for removing threats from the bin and making CVS's less impactful
