Fly Wishbone

CritHitd20 7135

Still sick, still unable to actually play games.

Wishbone is my favorite deck that I've made, and both Fly on the Wall and Arella Salvatore open some new dimensions for the deck. Let's talk about what they do.

Fly on the Wall fits excellently into this deck's plan of IAA everything. QPM was the previous deck's 3/1, and while QPM increases the odds of the run being a waste, that sounds less powerful than making as many IAAs threatening as possible. Not having to pay the trace for SEA/HHN is excellent for this deck, and also opens up some deck slots. The downside is that there is no longer a punish for excessive runs beyond the runner becoming poor, but that is a lot more probable with the addition of Surveyor to the cardpool. If this ends up being a problem I could see making room for 2 HHN.

Arella Salvatore is an excellent card. There are two powerful uses here. One is just to use her as a pseudo-Team Sponsorship, installing more ICE in your remote for free after a score (which is excellent for Surveyor). The other is for some cool scoring plans. You can IAA Beale, then next turn score 2 Beales, or you can IAA Fly, then score into Closed/EOI and have a 5/3 double advanced the same turn. Aside from this you can always just use her for tempo plays, installing a Rashida or NGO after

I want to try Peeping Tom/Standard Procedure at some point but I figure it's best to start with established successes and work from there. I also really want 3 Rashida but I also want 1 Attitude Adjustment and I don't know what the correct cut is; an ICE, Closed #2, IPO #2, and Arella are all options I'll be looking at. As with my MaxX list yesterday this is mostly me vomiting ideas and hoping for feedback.

Looks super solid. Do you feel Gatekeeper is really worth the influence?

Nope! Made this while sick and made several incorrect choices, but I will say that Gatekeeper is better than Enigma and Enigma is good so it's not an awful call. Hopefully someone else can give me some good ideas on how to better spend some of the inf.

What do you think about ASI so you can trash multiple CVs more easily with one fly?

Maybe Bio Vault could be a nice include?
