Scorched Biotics (2nd Place Las Palmas Jan 2015)

Treiclon 65

What can I say about this. Good old Midseason into scorched made with Custom Biotics. I went undefeated with it in the last tournament.

The assets serve a double purpose, you want to tax the runner with the trashing so you can get more tags on him when the times comes. If he doesn't take the bait, then you will have even more credits.

ICE is porous on purpose, you want them to steal the agendas, right? But a bit of a tax is important too.

Nobody expects the Ghost Branch after clicking through bioroid ICE. That's a whole turn to drop your scorcheds.

Reclamation Order to reclaim all the scorched of course.

Agendas are selected for their affinity with the combo. You want to score those efficiency commitee and project vitruvius to keep throwing scorched earth at the runner until there's no plascrete left.

Ideally, NAPD Contract is the last agenda the runner steals before the Midseason comes. (Even more ideally, NAPD protected by Ash, that's 4+4+3 credits).

If everything fails, PSF for the meat damage lock, or just 5+ damage in a single turn if Efficiency commitee is scored.

Overall, I like how the games turned out, but please, feel free to modify it and play with it!

Please tell me you PSF'd some people out. Awesome deck!

Luckily it didn't come to that, I either won by points when the tax was too big for the runner, or just used Vitruvius to play the same Scorched over and over again.

And thank you!

No Jackson? did you play against Noise at all?

Yes, I did. He was scorched like the rest.

How often did the trace go off on Ichi 1.0?

Not even once.

Post MWL, how would you change this?

It would need a lot of work, the meta changed massively this last year, and we have to face new stuff like Film Critic, Faust, and Blackmail Valencia that completely shutdown many parts of this deck.
Turing is stepping in, Eli needs to go, at least 1 midseason or scorched is out... I need to rethink the concept and rebuild it from there, maybe even Traffic accident is easier for it, I don't know. Many, many changes.
