Smallest ob possible: 4-1, 44th at ACC

A slightly smaller variation of my smaller ob. Give me like 3-4 tournaments and I'll be back to a 49 card list at this rate.

me running this deck into reg hosh

me every time my opening hand actually has both ice and money and not 3 agendas

If I get this opening I'm usually happy which is saying something about this list

wtf 79 cards

Whenever someone asks me, "why run so many cards", I usually respond with something like "I need to justify 3x Tithe". It's actually insane into all the Echelon Turbine lists to just have these 3-stacked for free on rnd.

Other reasons include:

• ZATO City Grid is insane. if you get 3 ice on the remote its usually unbreakable.
• Yakov Erikovich Avdakov is hilarious and pretty good. Bonus 2 creds on Rashida Jaheem or Mavirus and you can bluff with it pretty easily.
• 2x Rime, ez bankhar tech. Not like I already have the Tithes for that. Really good for Sandstone/Envelopment into turbined Cleaver.
• I get to run literally every piece of tech I see on ob lists across time and space, including Hafrún, Gatekeeper, and my own set of Corporate Troubleshooter for turbine busting and Angelique Garza Correa for defense.
• 3x Anvil, you don't actually want more then 1 or 2 out and rezzed at any given time but hey, you can use one to trash the other to grab Mavirus so thats cool.

If I was going to change anything I'd probably do something like -1 Slash and Burn Agriculture +1 Project Atlas. I found that it was hard to score the slash and burns but I had them often in HQ with nothing else to score safely.

Cool Combos

• Extract a 3-cost to get holoman, click for 3 advancement tokens, into either Audacity on a 5/3 or just advance the 4/2 for a NA score that is also money positive.
• Hammer from Tucana to actually have beef into some lists, or just use it with ZATO City Grid to wreck someone.
• Yakov Erikovich Avdakov -> Extract -> Tithe number 3 on rnd
• Throw a bunch of stuff into a ZATO remote. Runner ignores it. Then score a Hostile Takeover to get a card from Malapert, Hammer from Tucana, and probably a Hermes bounce.
• Anvil/Stavka on archives is great defense to nab Spin Doctor with one of your Tithes that eventually makes it to board. Great defensive play.
• Thimblerig memes.

Gameplay

This deck lives or dies on RND. It's actually hilarious how most of my games play out. On one hand, you can break rnd lock pretty easily with an ob trigger. On the other, that just gives more unique accesses from the second or third Trick Shot.

Twinning lists do lots of damage. I find the wincons there are either Stavka Hafrún snipes or just get out fast enough to prevent horrible things from happening to you.

Worst performance I've seen though is into Hermes Tāo lists. The movement of ice really can mess you up, and hermes is generally bad if runners are running less then normal crims. I suspect 419 can be very good into this list too, but I haven't actually played into 419 at all in my testing.

Also sometimes your mulligans are the worst thing ever and you just lose, but hey thats life. Choosing whether to keep your opening hand or not is probably the hardest thing to do piloting this list.

Huge shoutout to everyone running Conts this year. I had an absolute blast playing in it!
