Punissuaq ☠️ [4th @ Colorado North CO]

"brace yourself, punishment is coming"

My spin on this Punitive Issuaq list, placing 4th at the Colorado North Circuit Opener.

IMO, Data Loop is too pricy, both in influence and credits: Anemone may only fire once, but once is all it takes if you time it wisely. The extra inf lets us run a full set of both Seamless and Punitive, meaning we usually get to threaten the Issuaq counter or the Punitive kill, if not both, by turn 2 or 3.

The deck has performed extremely well in testing, though only went 1-1 on the day (took a bye, and a loss to a Steelskin Steve who piloted superbly).

If there's room for improvement, it's early game money, which can be a struggle if I can't stick a Rashida or Charlotte. Trick of Light is cute, and another way to cheese out our fake 7th point (from a Bio Vault, or a self-advancing La Costa; note that sometimes 1 adv can be enough!). But it can also be a dead draw, so tempted to cut it for money (probably Subliminal, or Mindscaping, which ensures Phoneutria has teeth; Hansei Review eats into Anemone food, and NGO can be a non-bo, if it baits the runner into trashing upgrades). If I cut Trick, I'll probably cut 1x Bio Vault as well.
