Tag -> Core -> Core -> Pass -> "you have zero clicks please discard down to hand size" -> End of the Line -> GG
The objective of this deck is to get the runner to 2x core, and then kill them with End of the Line + Distributed Tracing, or by sticking a tag through either Oppo + False Lead/MCA.
You can additionally threaten a score out using MCA if the runner is refusing to trash any of your assets to turn on Riot Suppression
My favorite thing to do in any game is turn the core concepts of it upside down, which this deck does perfectly:
- Nothing quite like making a Bravado unplayable :)
I think 1-2x Ablative, and possibly Drafter could be quite good. However, the deck list simply does not have the space to play all the cards it wants already.
This has been my personal pet card for a while!
It has a very powerful guaranteed effect for only 2 credits. However, it needs to be built around, since the effects are vastly different, and the runner's choice:
Additionally, if the runner is absolutely refusing to take the core there's an additional interesting score out option of:
This deck got codenamed "Barf Thule" as it simply barfs things out onto the board, and is extremely gross to play against.
It tested quite well into Hosh, beating it multiple times with open lists, even with turn one Maw, or early Stargate.
It absolutely folded in its open lists test games vs Sable. If they save Class Acts for your click taxing tag kill turns, and/or have multiple No Free Lunch, it becomes an almost impossible matchup. Their click free central accesses make things extra difficult as well.
No testing vs Shaper, but I think this matchup in theory should be ok. You might have to core them out for 1x more due to LilyPAD plays, but seems ok.
I heavily considered taking this to worlds after its performance in testing vs Hosh. However, I expected top tables to include a lot of Sable, and with failing that matchup in open lists it was sadly out of the question.
CoS (Crown of Servers) was the perfect place to bring this monster, since the entire tournament was closed list swiss, and made it a ton of fun to play!
Highlights [2x games ending with]:
Games:
I think my reasoning for not bringing this as my worlds deck was correct. However, I do think this may have actually had a better performance, due to the unexpected nature of the deck.
I could have also used more prep on this, and worlds in general, as multiple misplays cost me the possible game against RotomAppliance.
This deck is nasty to play against. However, it does also feel very fragile to play early:

From the other side of the table this seemed to be disgusting :D luckily for me I was playing startup against Radiant's Drago R+ :D GG |

ICELESS 4EVER! Haha! But on a less meme way, that is a fun deck that I'll be testing now. Is there anything (keeping it Iceless) that you would change in the deck? Cheers! |

There hasn’t been anything dramatic standout that I would change. You could cut the Malia, but I think generally it needs the card. The only reasoning I had the distributed tracing line vs Rotom was that I had trashed out the first No Free Lunch with an early core. An additional card to explore would be slotting 1-2x Red Level: I was also wondering about running 1-3x Offworld Office possibly instead of Luminal/Onto: Additionally, the list is missing an inf atm: Overall, mostly a slots issue, but have some areas of exploration. I think Red Level is the most promising if anything. |

Greasing the Palm doesn’t have too much of a particular usage. I was previously running Hedge Fund, but since this deck is installing a lot of cards, I found that Greasing the Palm seemed to fit that Econ slot a bit better. I’ve never personally used the tag removal aspect since if you land a tag there’s far more punishing options you want to follow up with 😁 |
