No doubts here. Salvage is going all the way.

TThis is fucking bullshit RR is better than at least 7 or 8 of the other cards that started this bracket

I think that Record Reconstructor’s interaction with the Executive cycle (Director Haas, Chairman Hiro etc) is far more useful than anything you could do with Salvage. This should be a pretty one sided round.
If you could advance Salvage while face down, I can think of one scenario where it would be highly effective: Your opponent is playing Cy-Cy and no Parasite; they have no reason to suspect that a card advanced more than 3 times is a code gate because Wormhole is the only playable one, so they don’t move their Cy-Cy before running on your new server; and you have the new current called Surveillance Sweep active, so the runner is going to get tagged by every single subroutine. It’s like a Midseason Replacements that you have to spend clicks advancing and get the runner to run before you can use it! But this doesn’t work since Salvage can only be advanced while rezzed.

Voted Salvage. Not even close.
We should do this again @Lttlefoot! This was fun, despite my argument with @anon34370798 (I don’t normally enjoy discussing things too seriously).
We could break down into each subtype? Maybe that’s too much work.
Regardless, I really enjoyed this. Thank you for your time and effort! 
EDIT: I wouldn’t really call the little discussion at the end of round 3 an “argument”, but let’s just say I rather watch the debate than participate.
Record Reconstructor is a card that I thought about putting in some Shaper decks to get around a resurgence of Shocks and Shi Kyus at one point. That card would let me load up on Datasuckers pain free. I ultimately never came close to using it, but I had at least THOUGHT to put it in my deck for like a split second.
The other is just a terrible card that I have never thought to ever put in my deck.
Pretty easy decision, imo.
Edit: Also, on the way back from Tulsa, @pacer, @dodgepong, and I debated the worst card for each faction I think. We had some pretty lively debates. It turns out debating the worst card is so much harder since you have no reference point for what it can even do since you’ve rarely if ever seen the card in play.

Just wait until we start seeing this one in archives out of Weyland and NBN

I’m that guy. With Improved Tracers scored and Midway Station Grid salvage is something I’d laugh as I rez.

Loved this whole thing! One piece of feedback if we ever do follow-up rounds or similar; every post should have links backwards and forwards! It ended up feeling very disjointed as conversations from one round would keep it at the top while a later round would fall away. for example I think I accidentally voted twice in round one, then didn’t see round two at all, the saw round three after it had closed.

Maybe have a draft of mostly bad cards? You still need some good cards in there just to be able to do things and defend servers.
Hey look at that.
1 corp card. 1 runner card.
I guess my next stream I’ll make 2 decks to maximize the potential of these two idiot cards for idiots
You guys suck. I played with Zed before, why didnt Zed win?
Or did I just answer my own question…

Tennin does this 
Do something like suicide chess, where you build a deck and hand it to your opponent at the start of the game. Correlate the placement of decks with the cards that are in them and get an idea of what cards usually make a deck worse.
Poll closed, Salvage wins 104-25
There might be a way to include all rounds in a single thread for future contests of this type. However, polls can’t be added or modified from a post unless you’re an admin.
Well, salvage is the worst card, it’s official. I thought zed was bad, but I’ve hit with zed before. Salvage is impossible to be meaningful, especially with midseasons

Lots of RR lovers in this board, there. The card have so much potential for the corp player
That card void a victory condition and is basically useless in 97.3682% of games, good call, good call.
