I've always had to be a little different. And that's how you end up bringing Prepaid VoicePAD (RIP), Dinosaurus, Gingerbread, and Panchatantra to a regionals. It performed admirably at 4-2 on the day, including a win in the Grand Finale to seal the deal.
I've been playing some version of this list for the past several months (shout out to @greyfield for posting some rad jank way back in February), but it wasn't until Sports Hopper came out that it really came to life. Sports Hoppers are pseudo-Plascretes, expensive Diesels, and 1 link all rolled into one. Having 4 link is rad.
I wrestled with what to do with the 2 Day Job slots for a long time, and decided there was nothing wrong with more money. Finding the time to Day Job can ease the pain of playing Sports Hoppers and Quality Times if you don't have discounts. They also get your bank roll up so you can threaten a certain red card..
Keep in mind that a common response to Panchatantra is going to be icing a remote with more ice, and icing R&D with more ice. This leaves HQ pretty vulnerable and you can spend all that hard earned Prepaid money on Vamp. Surprise!
Mostly I just wanted to draw a bunch of cards, get a bunch of money, be able to get in essentially anywhere, and hit R&D hard. You might also notice the distinct lack of silver bullets. I just kind of don't like them.
PRO TIPS FOR PLAYING THE DECK:
Round 1: 0-0 Gagarin. Crap. I'd banked on not really seeing asset spam, and I get to see it right off the bat. There were Museums, Mumbad City Halls, Jeeves, NAPD, that kinda thing. I had a naked Chronos Project scored against me that lost me half my deck, including Levy. From there I got MCH -> Salem's'd to death with a SEA/Scorch I think. The whole thing took like 45 min. I get jittery in my first games too, so I wasn't surprised/worried about dropping it. (I got my revenge as the corp)
Round 2: 0-1 More green, this time Blue Sun. He was running Janus, 5 agendas, and Punitives. I killed an early Oversight Janus with Pancha and Sharpshooter. From there I kept my money up and tried not to steal 6 points in one turn. I think we both got to 6 with the winning agenda in the remote, but I stole the 6 pointer on a Maker's Eye.
Round 3: 1-1 This was a grueling match. He was on SYNC Exchange of Info and Scorch. I got real lucky with my Prepaids and my deck was absolutely singing. And then I kinda just blew it. He was down to 5 cards in deck and I saw all of them but whiffed. He did a SEA Source EOI on me to win it, which is something I hadn't seen before.
Round 4: 1-2 Haarp was picking up the slack, but it was time for Kate to make her comeback. Up against SYNC again, and this time I made sure to hit R&D more often. Gingersaurus cut through the tracers pretty easily and I think the game ended up being pretty one sided.
Game 2 of Top 8 : 2-2 Haarp went to town in game 1 so I was in the winner's bracket. I went up against Wompa and his NEH. I can't remember this match very well. I think I figured out pretty quick that he was on FA, and he had a few Sensies and SanSan that I didn't let him have. That's about all I can remember.
Game 4 of Top 8 Grand Finale : 3-2 I totally pulled a game out of my butt with Haarp in game 3, so I was still in the winner's bracket (I didn't totally understand the chart, and thought I had more games to play, I didn't realize until about a half hour later that I was in the finals already). I was up against Sam and his EOI SYNC deck. I saw the judge describe this as the least interesting game he watched all day. Sam got to 3 points before I had him pretty well locked on R&D. He drew through to some agendas I think, but my final turn was drop Gingerbread (to get through the Vanilla I saw), play Same Old Thing, and use it for The Maker's Eye to snag the winning agenda.
Final record : 4-2
Score one for the little Gingerbread that could.

Woah, with no Clone Chips I figured you'd at least have Test Run and Scavenge to Synergize with your hardware and 1x programs. Did you ever feel like you were missing anything during the tournament? Congrats on the win, and with an amazing deck! |

Also, would comet work in this deck, or are the dinosaurus savings on Christmas cookies just too good to lose? |

I feel like a singleton Scavenge (for putting your Bread on your Dino) has got to be better than the 3rd Hopper. Or maybe the 3rd QT. 3rd Modded? 3rd SOT? I dunno. But one of these 3-ofs has got to be better as a 2-of and a Scavenge. Cuz then you can install your bread whenever you want. |

I'm trying to figure it out, but the deck is basically designed to get burst econ, somewhat quickly get a Dinosaurus, Gingerbread, and at least one Panchatantra (ideally more) out, and then run on R&D at will (once per turn), right? Eventually establishing an R&D lock. Meanwhile if the corp is trying to rush then you can use a Pancha and either Deus X or Sharpshooter to get through one-ice remotes, though sparingly since you only have the one each of the "break all' breakers. That seems hard to do, juggling all those pieces at once. You would also get set back if a surprise Batty or Keegan Lane trashes the Gingerbread. Obviously the deck can win, since you did, but it doesn't seem straightforward. |

Reviewing the decklist I'm shocked to see 0x CC with stuff like Sharpshooter and Deus X. |
