Biotech Potatoes - RDG SC

This is the deck I played in a SC here in Portland, OR. I played in two SC events in the area with this deck. It went 2-5-1 (one outright tie). Part of that could be because I am a new player and don't really know what I am doing, what my options are during play in terms of what cards to play and when, and also not knowing the card pool well enough to know what my opponent is likely to do, or what their options are at a given moment.

The idea of the deck is to flatline your opponent - flipping Biotech to do the final 2 net damage that kills them. That worked once, for one of the two wins the deck had. Urban Renewal got the other win. Otherwise UR was worthless all weekend - it's too easy for people shut down, especially rebirthing Anarchs into Omar. And the tie came from the game I decided to ignore UR and the other kill strategies and try to win by agenda points, using Bacterial Programming to stack the deck. That worked better, but as some more experienced players will see my decklist isn't set up super well to support the use (or abuse) of BP.

Other deck notes: Blacklist was in just to see if it could hurt Anarch heap recursion decks. It was worthless. Executive Boot Camp was in just to tutor out UR, which it did quite well. Hokusai Grid didn't do much for me either, but that could be because I don't know how to use it effectively. And lastly Neural EMP was worthless - just dead space.

Lessons learned and changes: Take out all the jank that didn't work, try something else. Heh. I am going to go for more assets that can be advanced, enable the ol' Yomi mind games thing that Jinteki can do so well. Probably put in Celebrity Gift as well - show people a trap and show them an agenda, put one of them into play... which one was it? The trap or the agenda? I can do the same or similar things with Bacterial Programming, although I am mighty tempted to take BP out and put in SSL. And that is the biggest lesson learned: Use the cards Jinteki has available to play Yomi mind games with your opponent.
