Valencia - Undefeated at Store Champ

imrahil 1269

Legal up to Order and Chaos:

Went undefeated in Swiss at Oxford store champs (5-0, carrying my foundry 1-4), finally went down in double elimination to AstroBiotics (didn't get the incubator quick enough and they waited to score from hand with biotic labour). In swiss I played 2XNEH (astrobiotics) 2X BlueSun and 1XFoundry.

Getting an incubator out early is key. And then just hang back and build up against blue sun or blackmail/check everything against NEH. Normally get about 4 points from servers (blackmail) and then get as many counters on Nerveagent/medium as you can (incubator/surge) and blackmail.

Luckily I didn't come up against RP which is always going to be tough for Valencia - hopefully they cant get caprice on R+D and HQ and you target accordingly.

Initially the plan was to go for Medium but given blackmails pressure HQ tends to get flooded making Nerveagent the main win condition.

If they remove the bad pub that's pretty much game unless its late on and you can get the odd dig with crypsis - luckily that didn't happen in Oxford and currently doesn't seem to be something that people have deck space for. If they rez ice in some non-running way then you have d4vid (for bluesun/OAI) parasite and crypsis but if they get a lot rezzed hats also probably a straight loss.
