Finger Food (don't need cutlery!) Brisbane Qld. 1st 8-0

Are you sure you aren't just playing cutlery because the deck has fork in the name?

Let's try eating with our fingers :D

Seriously, I noticed in my local league that the cutlery wasn't seeing much use, often clogging my hand or getting fed to Faust. Glacier is very out of fashion here and most ice being rezzed is the cheap rush type.

I decided to ditch the cutlery and get 3 peddlers - we gotta get that busted pancake eating skull machine running ASAP!

Expected a lot of kill decks - Argus being widely successful in Australia. Also figured that even the NBN would probably be trying to kill me.

I wasn't wrong, six out of the eight Corps I faced wanted to send me home in a box:

Swiss:

-Palana Grails

-Argus Kill (Andru - Sydney Regional Champ)

-Harp Butcher

-NEH Butcher (Technically we ID'd and played a practice game, but I’m claiming it lol)

-HBFA Jeeves

Top Cut:

-Argus Kill (Andru Again)

-SYNC EOI

-Blue Sun Midseason

For some reason, NBN Fast advance just isn't as popular here either, leading me to question Turntable and move over to Grimoire.

GRIMOIRE! this was an absolute beast all day! With the instant parasites, all the annoying Anti-Faust ice now lies dead in the archives... Spider web, enigma, Komainu, Tsurugi, the old 'RnD Turing' play... Hell, so many runs the corp just shrugged "NO REZ"!

The extra mem enables even more hilarity like:

-Going double datasucker and destroying the whole board

-Going double medium and closing out the game

-Double parasite on that fancy tollbooth/archer/etc. that won't live to see the end of my turn :P

-Having mem to install a corroder... good card still!

Definitely give 3 clone chips a try - it’s a great experience. The ‘forgivingness’ it creates allows you to take advantage of high risk/high reward situations. Pitching programs with Faust and installing them mid run is also great fun.

There's obviously a lot of meta specific choices here. For a more typical metagame I'd probably play -1 Plas +1 data sucker and maybe -1 parasite to free influence for +1 film critic.
