Old Yeller (EOI Fastro Hybrid) - Brisbane Qld Regional 1st

Oh yellow, we’ve had some good times together

The old yellow dog has seen better days, but I figured… maybe if I kick it hard enough, I can still get it to bite!

This is an attempt to blend the old Fastrobiotic style with the new EOI SNYC hotness.

-Replace the NEHFA ice suite with a more taggy selection

-Use the NEH ability, rather than blue level

-Use the remaining influence to run 2x biotics.

The results? Pretty decent. The deck went 5-3 on the day, with losses against Minh Maxx (DLR pwnage), Goodstuff Andy (early Rnd Lock) and Jesminder (Clot lock). It was able to get wins against Noise, Keyhole Maxx, Sunny, Leela, and finally it took revenge against Jesminder in the final with some timely CVS draws.

The tagging ice usually buys just enough time to score an Astro or 2 before the runner gets desperate and goes tag-me. By this point, NEH can usually win the race. The deck is weak where runners decide to float tags early, with the DLR Maxx match being a complete beat down for me. EOI wasn’t used in most games, but it definitely posed a real threat and was a factor in two of the wins.
