I’m always surprised by how low (actually none in this one) Maxx turnout is in all these US Regionals…I thought she is popular

The complete absence of MaxX surprised me as well.

Here’s the standings at the halfway point.

The two undefeated players remaining are piloting BABW/Noise and NEH/Kate. We’ve got a Cerebral Imaging deck at 3-0 sitting in the top ten as well.

It could be because shaper is popular and Maxx is on the “blacklist”

5

I will say that Blacklist is everywhere here.

BABW?! 10 chars

The question on everyone’s lips… are those top 8 NEH Fastros, or some hybrid like Butcher Shop? Because with no Jinteki in the top 8 I can totally see something equally ridiculous like that.

11

There were 4 NEH decks in the tournament, the three that made the Top 8 consisted of NEH Fastro Grail and two NEH Scorches. The only actual AstroBiotics deck is the one that missed the cut and finished 12th.

Nick Hansen came out with the win, finishing the day undefeated with NEH Grail. I’ll have Top 8 decklists up tomorrow at some point. In the meantime, here’s the final standings:

  1. Nick
  2. Josh
  3. Jon
  4. Sam
  5. Ryan
  6. Tobin
  7. Jordan H
  8. Jordan P

Those weren’t the same decks you had to play against in your Regional?

I think the people need to know about that core set Weyland deck.

Working on adding the top 16 lists to Acoo along with the results. That original Weyland identity deck has 6 agendas, 3 Jacksons, 11 ice, and 29 operations, and includes SEA Source, Scorched Earth, Punitive Counterstrike, and Accelerated Diagnostics. You can do the math, heh.

C-c-c-combo wombo!

Can’t wait to see these lists. I’m bored of RP and need something spicy to play for Regionals.
