Living the dream

Did the corp already blow their mulligan? 2x priority requisition and no econ cards sounds like a really bad hand to keep.

Crunchums · February 9, 2016, 6:29pm

Pheromones!!!

Aenari0n · February 10, 2016, 9:18am

Yes, that was the final hand. Sometimes those situations are unavoidable, and I’ve suffered them as well!

Living the dream: Queen’s Gambit a Reversed Accounts from zero, then dump it all into a LIberated Account, ending the turn on 0. Then go trash it later. Thanks corp!

This reminds me of the other week when Titan scored a HRI against me on Whizzcakes. I was starting the turn on something like 16 credits. I did a few things then installed double Liberated, and never ended a turn above 2 credits until I Turntable the HRI a few turns later. FeelsGoodMan, High Risk Investment indeed

Man, sounds like people couldn’t act fast enough to take advantage of these crazy scoring windows those cards should have created

Grimstringer · February 11, 2016, 9:36am

i had someone Queen’s Gambit my philotic,
in another game they Drove-by my Psychic Field t1 and raged.

i have people rage lately on Pe and saying that’s “toss of a coin” and things… ridiculous

Zebadiah · February 11, 2016, 1:39pm

I hate how people leave the game like that, it’s so childish. Not even going to let you do one janky thing your deck can do.

Facepalm. It’s what the card does. It’s not broken or imbalanced or anything. It’s a minor advantage that people should keep in mind when exposing unadvanced remotes.

BubbaTheGoat · February 11, 2016, 4:27pm

Oh man, I never realized that Psychic Field triggered on expose!

I don’t come across a lot of expose effects, but this interaction is hilariously great!

Sorry to hear about the rage-quit though, I really hate it when people online get outplayed, and complain that a card/deck/archetype is overpowered or somehow game-breaking. It’s just being a sore loser.

2 achievements unlocked. floating 200+ credits and outmilling a faust deck through 3 levys.

hypomodern · February 12, 2016, 1:21am

I didn’t have 200+ credits, but I did win by milling a Wyldcakes 2x LARLA Faust MaxX thing with a Stronger Together deck. 200 is… a lot of credits. The Jinteki Board is very, very happy with you this year!

cmcadvanced · February 12, 2016, 1:56am

Well done, I’ve never made that many credits in my HB deck, or my blue sun deck that was literally designed ONLY TO MAKE MONEY. You did this against Faust. Would you kindly present this knowledge to the people complaining about Faust dominance? Unless it was a fluke and you had to fight for your life against the deck, cause Faust. We’ve all been there before

hannibalrex · February 13, 2016, 1:28am

Well, compared to most of the stories here, fast advancing a Government Takeover is pretty scrub tier, but I loved seeing my BWBI FA deck come together.

cmcadvanced · February 13, 2016, 5:38am

This is intriguing, tell us more.

Calimsha · February 14, 2016, 11:47am

I forfeited 3 agendas on artist colony to avoid dying on a philotic kill with a single card in hand (hit a snare the previous turn). I ended up winning that game.
100% worth it, will do again.

hannibalrex · February 14, 2016, 2:26pm

Weyland with 3x Hostile Takeover, 3x Atlas, Government Takeover, Midseasons and Psychographics. Score a HT. Stick 9+ tags on the runner. Atlas token/Fast Track Government Takeover for the win. Forfeit any excess agendas to rez Archers on your centrals.

I honestly think if you’re trying to make a Weyland FA deck, this is your best shot. I built it in BWBI because I wanted to have taxing ice for my centrals, and to see how Commercialisation works to out-econ the runner for the Midseasons. Too many D4v1ds to rely on Oversighted Curtain Walls for econ. It seems fine, but you really want to stick your advancements onto a single piece of ice rather than spreading them around. And ironically, with all the ice destruction going around, you usually don’t want to rez your battery ice, unless you’re playing against Leela.

hypomodern · February 14, 2016, 2:29pm

Setting up an Artist Colony: 1 deck slot, 1 click.
Stealing three one-pointers: 3 clicks and some luck.
Not losing the game to philotic? Priceless.

There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s Remove From Game effects.

Playing against Whizzard with Sol. First turn is Paywall, News Hound on the remote, throw in the Astroscript.

Whizzard installs Medium.
He runs R&D. Thanks to Paywall, I gain a credit, and he sees nothing.
He runs R&D. I gain a second credit, and he sees nothing.
He runs R&D. I gain a third credit, which I use to trigger the accessed Archangel and return Medium to hand.

The dream!

BubbaTheGoat · February 18, 2016, 2:52pm

Playing PE against Whizzard w/Faust.

Only Faust and Corroder installed
Runs R&D (2 unrezzed ICE)
Rez Lockdown
’Fire’
Rez Komainu
Whiz discards to break all but 1 sub
Net damage hits I’ve Had Worse
Whiz is pissed that he can’t draw
Continues run anyways
Flatlines when he steals House of Knives

Last night’s PE dream

Game again Maxx on Jinteki

Playing Weyland BWBI rush

Put Archer on R&D first turn an never rez it during accesses

Score a 0 token atlas at some point

Maxx has eater out, does a retrieval run to get keyhole. Clicks up to 5 credits and then hesitates. I do the match and start saying “Run R&D, you know you want to. Come on, do it! Run!”

Maxx Keyhole runs on 5 credits. I rez archer and they spend all of thier money to break 1 trash sub. I trash Eater. Maxx never makes a successful keyhole run for the rest of the game and dies shortly after she levys to a Sea-Scorch-Scorch.

That was a good day.
