Two net-decks here, not that there’s anything wrong with that… Though it is a tad ironic that I did so poorly at a tournament in which the winner ran a net-deck of a variant of my deck. I blame Cerebral Imaging.
I don’t believe the winner had much (if any) prior practice with it, I played against him the day prior at the Haunted Game Cafe Store Championship (in which he ran a HB Engineering brain damage deck and Blackguard Gabe, and finished in the top four) and he said he’s in the middle of a move and has had no time to playtest or practice online lately. I’m sure that contributed to the decision to net-deck, and he clearly saw the potential of your deck. I’ll ping him and see if he’ll do a write-up. I’ll have more details to post later, regardless, though I unfortunately did not get to play against him this tournament.
I feel like Astrobiotics (or biotic news, which is what we called our test builds of it before your netdecking ) is weak to really aggressive runners. I’d be curious to see some matches of it played vs. “common criminals”, e.g. good stuff gabe/andy, if anyone knows of any.
From my experience having played against many criminals, Datasucker Andy is a bit slow and Knight Gabe needs a very good starting hand, so both archetypes have trouble keeping up. Knight Andromeda I think would do well, but for some reason that’s not much of a thing.
stimhack + clone chip / SMC to set up the rig and then hammer RnD with indexing and maker’s eye.he does have a lot of econ its just not coming from the traditional places. i like it.
