The Outfit - 1st Place Wegrunner NISEI GNK

kevintame 569

I won a 14 person GNK and this was my corp. I've been playing several versions of The Outfit since rotation and this one I think might be the strongest. Out of 20 games I've lost only one to @osclate.

Combos

Most of the combos require you to either install Reconstruction Contract or Reversed Accounts in the remote the turn before. If I have a pretty good remote server I often like to instal, advance, advance the Reversed Accounts.

Ice Placement

  • Data Ravens are usually on the remote with Border Control. Taxing tags is really good.
  • Archer is usually for R&D. It is really just for the central which is the most problematic and R&D is where you will usually lose.
  • Surveyor is for the remote.
  • I rarely ice HQ unless I'm playing against a Criminal or Freedom. You want to be jamming things into the remote so you don't really pile up agendas.
  • A triple advanced Hortum is a good way to keep a nasty turtle out.

Important Note - Archived Memories is usually to get Dedication Ceremony back. But sometimes it is used for getting back High-Profile Target. - People also think I'm running NGO so you would be surprised how often double advanced stuff gets scores. I almost always install, advance, advance if I'm putting an advance-able thing in the remote.

Give this deck a spin and let me know how it goes.

Hey, I really like this build but I am curious how good the Surveyor is here since you have only 13 ices and three of them are trashable? Also, what is your ratio between score and kill win?

With only 5 Bad Publicity cards in the decks, what’s the thinking about playing this in The Outfit rather than in Argus? Is the relatively small amount of extra credits worth losing a more defensive ability? Thanks!

Congrats, man!

@Longi Probably 50/50 kill to score. I usually am only protecting 2 servers so 13 ice seems to be ok. Surveyor even with 3 ice is pretty taxing for most runners.

@Algebraic I tried this in Argus and Titan and I didn't do as well. The money you make early and the recover from low credits with The Outfit is critical.

Thanks for the response. I've had a play of the deck and the ability to recover quickly is nice. The Outfit ability is a major part of your economy. I've also being testing they list with a third Hostile Takeover instead of the IPO for that reason and I think it's a slight improvement. I always like having 3 when I'm playing Archer :-).

@BizTheDad Thanks friend!

@Algebraic I think an extra hostile seems like a good idea. Another bad pub and another agenda for archer is a great idea.

I have the feeling I always lose to Argus & Outfit, so I thought I should play it. ;-) Used your list for a small GNK, so thanks for publishing it and I have to say, I really like it! TY
