With the release of the turning wheel, which doesn’t require a successful run to be active, people have been bringing au revoir/snitch back. The obvious choice is Andromeda, allowing the engine to get setup quickly. I thought we could have some discussion of this here.
Decklist below shamelessly stolen from Calimsha. There are lots of variants along this style (corporate scandal + blackmail) but I think this is one of the better ones.

Account siphon is always a solid play, but Legwork is very good vs FA, which is why I’d imagine it runs 2. Beyond that, Councilman and PolOp shuts down SanSans.

Makes sense, I was wondering about the Legwork! Thanks all for the advice… I’m so used to playing Shaper, I think I’d just curl up and cry against NBN if I didn’t have Clot
I’ve been working on the Chaos Theory version of this again.
The theory is that drawing four extra cards is vaguely equivalent to five less cards in the deck. The difference is that I get access to Shaper tutor abilities and the massive amount of card draw they have. The downside is less ability for shutting the corp down via Account Siphon and Political Operative, since the Au Revoir package takes nearly all of your influence.
I won’t post the full list here since I think this one’s specifically for Andy?
I do know that if you’re going to do this in Criminal, Andy’s your best bet. Leela’s second best, but you still want to accelerate your plan, not slow the Corp’s.
Another option is The Source. It does change the frame of the deck (need Fall Guys, Film Critic, and probably Hostage) but it’s a good way to slow down FA decks while you get set up.
Personally I’m partial to the Corporate Scandal/Blackmail version of the deck, but I figure it’s not a significantly higher amount of jank. Combine with a PolOp and a couple Drive By and you’re fine with upgrades. It also allows you to spend less influence on icebreakers, since ice won’t often get rezzed anyway.

I’m a total sucker for the Source/Film Critic/NACH package with all these Astros, Midseasons, and BNs going around. A lot more sit-back-controlly, I’ve frequently ended up just charging TW until I can access every card because the corp can’t force anything meaningful. Definitely still some room for improvements and still can lose outright to a good rush.
If the FA variety relies on in-hand cards, Demolition Run wouldn’t be a bad splash in this deck. It would crunch Scorched Earth decks too. You’d obviously need to free up some influence somewhere, but it’s a great combo with The Turning Wheel.
nice list! what would you do with 2 free influence? no one plays quandary so peacock is an easy sub for zu. personally I think it’s a no brainer but I don’t need not have that argument all over again; just pretend you agree with me and we can move on thinking about what we’d like with thos 2 pips!
au revoir + snitch takes up 4 MU and corroder takes up the last slot. Zu13 is a cloud breaker so with 2 link you don’t have to spend MU to have it there. You could swap corroder for sherman and make this play. I’m not sure what I’d add with the extra influence, but earlier versions of this build had a spare deja vu that was swapped for the feedback filter.
Lol, i have literally never once even thought about the fact that zu is cloud. Nice memory solution, probably the right choice for the kit then, given that Sherman is loads worse than corroder.
Otoh, i am thinking that maybe a vamp would really kick ass when you can click for 3
I’ve been running this out of CT and Kate (still not sure if the deck size+memory is better than the discount), but I think most of my points apply to the Crim version as well.

A few notes. FC+Turning Wheel is quite good, especially if you make enough money to get in anywhere. After a certain point, there will be no unrezzed ICE on HQ and R&D, so after that your Turning Wheel counters just build up naturally. Out of the Ashes is a bit weird, it’s mostly discarded after overdrawing, and then used to build up TW counters and money before you want to actually get in. I did get some wins with this deck.
That said, the setup time is atrocious, even with six tutors and CC, and needing to put out programs means facechecking is next to impossible without Snitch. Since the buildup takes so long, your TW will often get blown up with some counters on it when playing against yellow decks.
The influence constraints are rough, Vamp and Clot would both be nice includes. I’m gonna keep testing, but I am very meh about the deck. You put a lot of constraints on yourself for things that you could get otherwise too.
You need 6 MU (3x breakers + 3x card in [Au Revoir, Snitch]), you have 5 with CT.
@Calimsha choosed Andy because of Sport’s Hopper +1Link giving him +2MU through Cloud Breakers, with a single card AND SE protection AND draw power when founding the second car vs non T&B decks.
With The Turning Wheel synergy, it’s the best idea of this deck (on NRDB’s published decks, Aurevoir Andy is an idea @friff14 first had Dec 2014 the 1st ;)).
A targeted 3x +1 or 2MU slot in CT is 56% post muligan. If Andy is targetting a 2x Slot, she has 60% (75% for a x3).
CT have a +4.9% to find an unfound 3x on the first draw after this, Andy have only +2.8% for a 2x (+2.9% for a 3x) on her first draw, so CT’s real & great strong point is after the mulligan. + tutorship. She find lost % vs Andy in one or two draws.
She’s not a bad idea
