Hub for Life - 3-1, Top of Swiss @ East Anglian Regionals

Fridan 560

Slightly longer writeup on my runner here.

I very nearly swapped to some more experimental corps but ultimately I wanted to keep working on my corp fundamentals and play something that lets me adapt my play into a variety of runner archetypes.

This is essentially Shoot the Moon PD so I don't plan to go into loads of detail, but we have made some key changes.

The agendas suite

We've swapped out the Offworld Offices for a third Ikawah Project and a Superconducting Hub. This has consistently felt like a good change. Hub fits the decks game plan very nicely and overall makes it a bit harder for the runner to get to 7 points. You do have to be much more intentional about your scoring plan but that brings some flexibility with it. We're not locked in to a 2/2/3, we have options for 1/3/3 and 1/2/2/2. All of this is matchup and draw dependent.

Influence

We've gone with Border Control over Sudden Commandment here. Ultimately BC didn't come up on the day and I think you could still play your preference, but it would have been nice to stop at least one DooF in my cut game.

Swapping out the Hagen gives us a flex slot to play with. I went with NGO Front because I was having a lot of close games where one good remote bluff could swing the result. This could be a second Big Deal or whatever spice interests you.

This deck is 🔥

Congrats and WP!

I haven't been able to figure out what to do with the flex slot. How was NGO on the day?

Also...

seeing you win with this deck when it seemed the odds was stacked against you was very impressive - congratulations on the tournament :)

NGO only really came up in our game. I think it sings most in close games particularly against shapers, where one good bluff can be enough of an economic swing to turn the tide. It also helps make up for some of the credits lost from cutting offworld.
