Came 2nd in 32 player BABW (ANRPC) qualifier in Reading, UK.

Lost once in 5 rounds of Swiss (to Quatzal siphon. Installed Jackson and drew 4 first turn - got siphoned - then proceeded to get siphoned 5 more times ending with no money and no installed ice)

Lost once in top 8 cut (against maxx)

Many of the games will be viewable on YouTube in the future at "NeoReading Grid"

Only built deck last week do have tweaks to make. Philotic in for fetal, need to find space for interns. Enigma in for swordsman - as a start.

So simple, so elegant.

@mcpba yeah I always build decks like that. 3 of everything.. makes deck slots tight!

a few questions:

-was swordsman worth it?

-Any other sentries? 1 of susanoo is usually good against kate

-Is fundraiser good? Why not play more assets instead?

@mcpba fundraiser is good. Not amazing, but good. Helps burst to rez ice early. Mental health clinic gives hand size which helps fast and decreases merlin kill potential. Celebrity gift is too high a cost revealing the hand... version 2.0 will not have the swordsman in favour of a cortex lock and enigma. thought a put Susan - needs testing. Also dropping a medical research for interns. And fetal for philotic.

@imrahil Does it need 2x Excalibur or could you get away with just the one to claw back a card slot? If you wanted to add Daily Business Show what would you cut?

4 Aug 2015 imrahil

@Arkhon cut 1 blacklist for 1 dbs... I want the extra slots but excalibre is just too useful.. on centrals with rp ability. Can be revealed to add subs to other grail pieces. And on a remote with caprice or batty or niesi(counter) you can easily score behind it. So going to stick with 2 for now. Also add an interns for a medical research fundraiser.

@imrahil, how about Lotus Field, any love for that? Is it not pretty decent against an anarch-heavy field?

4 Aug 2015 imrahil

@Arkhon for this tournement the top 8 was 6 noise all running faust. Lotus field is not efficient for faust at all. That being said lotus field probably is a good include. As can protect blacklist very well - as not parasitable. Ice definitely needs playing around with. But need the money to rez it as well.

If Faust was being played a lot, does keeping at least 1 Swordsman in the deck not seem like a good idea?
