[TWA] Andromeda Midrange

Hey everyone, This is my go to list for tournaments and structured play in general. It's helped me come 2nd at both Melbourne Regionals and Australian Nationals (with some slight differences) and frequently brings me into the top 4 at weekly events here in Melbourne.

If you're into criminals I strongly recommend you try it out!

The deck plays between very aggressive to midrange depending on your draw. Some hands allow you to run with impunity very early, such as Overmind/Siphon, while others help you crush corps that overextend in the midgame, such as with Professional Contacts/Siphon/Shutdown.

In most games you want to begin with a Desperado, and find an early Security Testing or Professional Contacts. Testing and Desperado in combination allow you to present threat on Archives or (perhaps empty) remote servers, and punish the corp for not rezzing ICE. In this way you pressure the corp economy on multiple fronts: through Siphon, Testing, Yog.0, Shutdown, and R&D Interface, it's often impossible for the corp to hinder your swelling economy whilst also preventing R&D lock, developing a remote, and getting agendas out of HQ before you scream in with a Legwork.

More generally, this list emphasizes the fundamentals of running. Poke and prod about the corp's servers, gain every piece of information you can, and be very responsive to how their game is developing and what direction they're choosing to go down. When your poking and prodding has forced a line, it also reveals a weakness, and this is when you start hammering in. However if you miss this window... if your breakers get trashed to wayward damage and you get locked out of R&D or if your Siphons miss (god forbid), it will be very difficult to claw your way back in. So don't be conservative!

Please enjoy!
