Anachron 229

This is the Nero deck I piloted to the top eight at the Connecticut regional on 5/21/2016. It's very much a work in progress; I need to make a bunch of changes before I'd bring it to another major event. The matchup vs. asset spam isn't fantastic, which is a serious issue in the current meta.

Happy to answer any questions about it.

Out of curiosity, how much value do you get out of Nero's ability. Just curious if you considered shifting this deck into Andromeda.

@pandapersonaIt came up twice in "critical" situations. Once vs an Arugs list I forced him to rez an archer for an ETR due to medium threat. And during my top 8 game vs Stair, I was able to aggressively face-check his architect.

Andy certainly might be better - my goal was to make Nero work, so I haven't really considered changing IDs.

I would suspect there are times that your opponents may have played differently in ways not readily apparent. I play Quetzal and I know that I have had games where I don't break a single barrier with my ID, but that is because they chose to simply not play one. Changing they way the corp plays certainly has value.

Geist>Nero

23 May 2016 Anachron

Geist is a pretty cool guy but he does not wear a white suit nor does he own a monocle. Nero goes to sweet parties and drives a cool car. I don't really see how this is a fair comparison.

No room for Snitch and/or the Turning Wheel?

23 May 2016 Anachron

@noon I haven't found a need for Snitch. Most decks in the current meta (Fastro, Asset Spam) can't afford to ice everything. Any open server and I can get rich.

Turning Wheel will get tested as a medium replacement before the NY regionals.

Add more Siphon Spam. Change deck name to Nero to Zero.

What's your opinion on [Exclusive Party](/en/card/10060? I immediately slotted it in a Stealth Andy build I tool around with but I had mixed feelings about it.

@PanzerDThe parties play better than I expected, but they are not critical to the deck. I think a Career Fair/Hotel/Casts package would work fine. I was originally running 3x Easy Mark and 3x Daily Casts and I think I like the parties better than those 6 cards. If you find a way to add Quality Time to the deck I think the party value goes up.
