Fire up the Grill! - Weyland meat lovers thread

alright grillmasters I need a green murder machine for a GNK this weekend. What recipes are serving up well done runners?

I’ve been using this nameless construct recently. I took 4th at an SC, but that was mostly held back by my weak whizz play.

Quick considerations:
Drop archer, I never acutally use it. 3rd Sapper or a 2nd Veritas are both improvements
-1 Reversed Accounts, -1 Preemprive Action, +1 Jackson Howard, +1 Consulting Visit

The idea is stolen from @beyoken’s video, but I feel that the Atlas train out of Titan is much stronger than the extra credits from BABW. I also like the extra influence.

All you do is Rush Agendas, or bluff agendas. Make the runner get into your server until they go broke. When they steal (the runner will eventually be able to) land midseasons and plan out the kill.

Reversed Accounts is a great agenda bluff, and is also something they have to deal with. Dedication ceremony lets you knock off 12c all at once in one turn.

Consulting Visit Blue Sun should still have game. You’ll need a slightly rushier version to go against Sifr though, and you can tech enforcing loyalty if you don’t think you can money through Aaron.

Honestly, I’ve really been liking @Benjen’s list he posted just a little upthread, with some slight changes:

Haaaave ya met Benjen?

Changes over @Benjen’s version include:
-3 Vanilla, +3 Ice Wall (I’ve seen a lot of Sunny’s shitty cloud breakers, and advancing Ice Wall once doubles the cost over Vanilla. Also, no Parasite death on the same turn makes it better for turn 1 rushing.
-1 Veritas +1 Spiderweb (Want more ETR ICE and at least 1 semi-taxing barrier, and I just don’t trust Tribunal to be worth it’s weight in most games, sadly)
-2 Blue Level Clearance, -1 Hard Hitting News, +2 Green Level Clearance, +1 Midseason’s Replacements (runners are pretty frickin’ rich, and I can’t rely on HHN always doing something other than vamping myself. Judge helps, though, so I still like keeping the 2 instead of going all-in on 2x Midseason’s.)
-1 Zealous Judge -1 Corporate War, +2 Hostile Takeover (the most recent change. There’s just way, way too many games where I get stuck on 6 points with an atlas counter and everything, and I have to wait on a Midseason’s play or to trick the runner into spending money so I can try and score, instead of just being able to win instantly on a Hostile).

Basic plan is to rush out while threatening to kill the Runner. Most games are won by using the 1 Biotic Labor to score a Project Atlas. If you can’t do that for whatever reason, Hard Hitting News, or Consulting Visit->Hard Hitting News them, and if they have at least 6 creds, forfeit a False Lead. Follow up with a Boom! or Consulting Visit->Boom!. If they have Aaron installed, be sure to use Voter Intimidation to get rid of him. It doesn’t really matter afterwards if he’s installed, so long as he doesn’t have counters on him.

This deck is can move amazingly fast. I have won on turn 5 before (admittedly, I had practically perfect draws) and I win before turn 10 in about 30% of my wins. Your worst matchup is good stuff Criminal, for multiple reasons, with a very good Anarch matchup. Just keep putting cards behind ICE and the Runner will either give you the points (normal reaction, since Weyland can’t close out games) or won’t be ready and will end up setting themselves back for multiple turns.

As soon as Hunter Seeker comes out, the Voter Intimidation, Stock Buy-Back and Power Shutdown are become a 3x Hunter Seeker.

And @Benjen wins the SC today in Portland with his BABW list, taking out both me and @bluebird503 (as well as whoever else he faced)! He modified it to be closer to what I posted above, so really I have to say we share the victory. I’m sure he’d tell you the same. Final standings after the cut were Benjen in first, bluebird in second, me in third, and a wonderful lad from up in Washington for 4th. Fun was had by all. =)

Good job, dude =)

You should also mentioned that you won 3 of them and that you placed top 4 in the other 4 (?). Anyways, very strong deck and most people in the area know about it and Max still does well with it. Definitely affects the local meta runner choices.

I should be clear that my BABW deck won exactly 2 games out of 6 but won when it counted!

beating a Dyper deck in 6 turns is SO SATISFYING!

so what is the most flexible and viable ID for the Stinson shenanigans do we think?

Probably something in NBN.

I liked the post, but it was kind of a sad like.

I have had a lot of luck with my Titan deck:

It’s just a rush deck in the same spirit as Super Modernism. Make the runner get their breakers and break ICE, with Reversed Accounts you can push the runner into Stinson range if they won’t do it themselves.

I know the list doesn’t look impressive. It’s just a bunch of good cards that work together.
