I know what you're thinking. Here's the process.
After placing just outside the cut in the BLM tournament, I was confident GameNET was still a great deck, provided I played around what at the time was a pretty serious Apocalypse problem in the meta. Then as metas do, Titan came to beat the Apoc decks, and Leela/419 came to beat the Titan decks. In testing, it felt like while I could beat the crim players, out-tempoing them was often a sucker's bet - I often felt incapable of maintaining enough money to score agendas against money pressure from viruses/DoF/PAD Tap, and agendas would pile up in HQ, to the point where I was winning more from good luck or runner mistakes than my own capability.
So I thought: why do I need to out-tempo them? Why am I trying to be tempo at all? Why not be a lumbering, controlling monster?
Hence the swerve to being a harder glacier.
So, in their place:
In swiss, the deck went 6-0 in games played, beating Aniccam Party Ken, Paragon Leela, Knobkierie Freedom, FTT Omar, reg-ass Hoshiko, and Apoc Hoshiko (the last two being games played after an ID in the round). In the cut, it went 2-0, beating reg Hoshiko and Apoc Hayley.
Contrary to opinions on the stream, I think this deck has a great Crim matchup starting on turn 10 and it's a function of getting there without substantial collateral damage. While I definitely had to sweat out a few random accesses over the course of the tournament (and who doesn't?), the deck felt untouchable in almost every game.
I also felt like the Attitude-Preemptive package was excellent, powering me through several spots of agenda flood where my previous list likely would have suffered.
I'm not sure how much the HHN package ultimately added. It may be that going with different tag punishment is better, such as 2 SEA Source and some number of Closed Accounts. That said, there were definitely games where Psychographics would have been stellar were I able to draw it. Perhaps the list is fine and just going -1 HHN, +1 Consulting Visit is ideal. I'll probably be testing that for Continentals.
