Takobi is busted in everything (5th@AMT)

This is a pretty experimental list to see about the usual Crim weakness of Big Ice Glacier and Rigshooting. We are Ken almost exclusively for the extra 2 inf, and getting to play 9 Sure Funds is pretty good.

This felt very good for as rough of a draft as it was. Im of 2 minds about the double breakers part of this, it felt very good to have the freedom keep them in hand when net damage was on the table, but it didnt feel great to see the second copies when you need more econ.

I expected to regret going down to 1 nuka a lot more than I did. I might even consider 0 nuka, 3 earthrise, not only in this specific deck, but also in reg crims. Verbal Plasticity was mostly a dud that i didnt install. The lack of bahia bands in this deck is definitely criminal, id would 100% cut nuka or second maemi for it.

Ken is my favourite. He’s so fast. I usually play cards that mean I don’t have to have as much money such as czeve and prepaid, so it’s interesting to see such an econ heavy Ken deck.

I always found it hard to have good card draw in criminal. Not easy against prison decks. But you have so much money to pay for class acts.

I’ve been experimenting a lot with how many Bahia bands to put in my deck but it’s hard when I’m being greedy with the influence for other interesting cards. Also not completely happy with all of the criminal breakers. So that’s using influence. Shibboleth is alright in early game and if you have enough econ it might be alright even in late game. But buzzsaw and Takobi is even stronger so that’s pretty cool. Hadn’t thought of doing that.

Takobi really is a undervalued. Was a regular in my Smoke decks.
