Carver I would understand if you were boosting for strength a lot, but those are mostly fixed breakers.
Mr. Li is actually pretty good in anarch, it’s a little slow but they desperately need card selection. He lets you set up pretty easily if you have some time to use him.
No clue on Levy
EDIT: apparently it was a meta call that he never used. SourceReasoning
Yeah, the formatting goof threw me for a loop too :). I didn’t see the Kati Jones at first and was like “Y U NO MONEY” :). Clone Chip + Deep Red is nice synergy. I’ve been tinkering with Grimoire for Clone Chip + Parasite instead, which is a different build altogether.
Mr. Li is the best draw card in decks that have lots of redundancy (as Anarchs do). Ice Carver is an excellent resource that’s currently underplayed-- it works very well with Anarch breakers. For instance, a lot of people have been playing Viper and RSVP in NBN recently to avoid Yog, and Ice Carver shuts that down hard. I definitely play 2x Ice Carver in my non-Siphon Reina decks.
LALA I’m less confident in. It might be a meta choice against Jinteki, but personally I think this is unnecessary and not even that reliable when you don’t have Same Old Thing in the deck.
I’ve always thought the team covenant meta suspicious from the information they have posted about their tournaments and these decklists continue in the same style. The weyland deck is great against bad opponents, once they figure out the “trick” of not doing stupid runs on centrals, always have a good bank of credits and hit any remote the winrate plummets.
Haven’t played much Reina so can’t comment much on that list but whoever piloted it must really like Mr Li.
It was a weird game. Corp waited for the runner to make a super run with 2 RDi’s and a Maker’s Eye and the Runner let an (open?) HJ go, while he knew it was a combo deck…
I get that he won even without the combo, but that doesn’t prevent me from being annoyed at seeing the combo attempted :). Yes, the runner should have played around Turn Two Nuclear Launch Detected better in this particular case.
For me that second game shows a fundamental lack of understanding regarding how to play against weyland combo, and every possible warningflag was up after that first turn.
