Legislation Goosecoats - 1st at Derby Regional: 7-0

This deck went undefeated (7-0) at the Derby regional beating 2 Mti glacier, 2 Team Spons CTM, 1 Skorp, 1 Ded Cer CI and an Azmari glacier, taking me to 1st place.

The general game plan of the deck should be pretty apparent from the list. You go tag me from turn 1, pressure centrals as much as possible, keep the corp poor with a combination of shutdown and DoF, inside job and Femme problematic ice then when they start to stabilise you play apoc and start all over again. The deck lives and dies by successful runs so don't be afraid to run early and often against all corps (yes even Mti) and fire 50/50 events such as DoF and Hot Pursuit as forcing them to rez ice they'd rather not is a win for you.

Why are you playing__ and not__?

Equivocation is great for threatening R+D in the early game and absolutely brutal after an apoc. It allows you to put a lot more pressure on the corp from turn 1 as opposed to Counter Surveillance which is often a one run win later on but gives the corp more time to set up for a lock out or focus on more important servers. Most corps are happy to let you single access R+D for a few turns while they double ice HQ and try to score out. Equivocation makes this a terrible plan.

Doppleganger was mainly in the deck as I couldn't be bothered to manual Paragon on Jnet when I was testing but does allow for some cute plays like Equivocating 5 times in one turn or playing Mars for Martians click 1 and still having a click left to apoc. It also gives you more bankroll and turtle counters when you need to check naked remotes vs asset spam

Eater acts as a 4th turtle in the early game to force ice to be rezzed and as a safety valve to recharge turtle later on if you get locked out and purged. Bare in mind that accessing 0 cards with eater still gives a turtle counter.

3 Femme is a must for me as seeing one early is vital to ensuring that turtle keeps firing and the corp needs more ice. Obv best to install with Credit Kiting but the deck runs quite rich so a hard install is often fine.

The High Profile Target in the Room

Yes, you will auto lose against Argus and Outfit decks. Playing this at the regional was a meta call and if the field is likely to be >20% meat damage decks then it's probably not worth it, however if you do bring it I can guarantee (no guarantee) that you will win all the rest of your match ups and have an absolute blast.

Closing Thoughts

This deck is a lot of fun to play, is extremely interactive and opens up lots of really interesting lines and match ups. The CTM matches in particular are very interesting and create difficult puzzles for both players to solve. Give it a go, you will love it.
