Rubberband Sable [12th @ Nottingham CO]

J-Flex 211

This is my runner deck I took to the Nottingham CO, the biggest so far in the NSG era it turned out. Much like the previous tourney I had done more practice with the Corp and was comfortable and confident with it, whereas I had less time to find a runner I wanted to play, and results bears this out.

Looked at Good Stuff Hosh, Freedom with Solidarity Badge and was considering an event based Kit but I saw an Az deck posted which used Cezve credits to pay for the install from Bahia Bands and it was combotastic enough to win my heart.

Unfortunately, cards that heavily rely on others are rarely consistent and that proved the case on the day. It managed 1 win, 1 timed draw and 2 losses - both losses were to Pigeon Brawler R+ decks, which I had included tech cards for but didn't help. The deck also gets completely wrecked by Ob rigshooter and the Stavka Hafrún combo so I included a Flip Switch and I installed it only once and removed a tag for 1c, didn't encounter any Ob.

I really like Sable and Deep Dive so if I was to continue with this deck I'd drop some tech and increase the number of breakers/Mutual Favors.

Even though we ended up in mid-table obscurity, as is tradition, I feel ok with my plays. We were on table 1 briefly and the top 4 cut was a possibility.
