I would love to fit 3rd Enigma actually. I would rather cut Crick for it than Yagura, though. I found Crick in the early game to go on archives and threaten to recur exactly nothing and in the mid to late game it’s a 2nd piece of Archives ICE that you didn’t need.
It’s one of the closer matchups but you can certainly still win. You have to play a lot rushier, because it’s hard to beat them late, especially if they can get into archives and repeatedly pound a TFP. Lotus Field is quite good at keeping Noise out for quite a while on the cheap.
I love the Fetal. I was actually convinced it was the best choice for a long time and then switched over as a concession to time concerns. I don’t honestly even care that it is dealing damage and I expect to kill approximately no one using my build, but it’s taxing to hit, and it can’t give the runner 3 points.
21 Points was justifiable because you could expect to always fight on the TFP psi. There’s too much Reina denial, unlucky Siphon starts against Leela, and people throwing agendas into Archives via Noise or Keyhole or Wanton right now to expect TFP to be worth 1 point on average. Most of the games you lose with the 21 point list, or even the 20 point list with a one pointer, will be games lost where the runner scores 3 agendas. 1/3 of those times, if you play the Fetal over the 4rd TFP, the game would go on.
I can’t really justify it with any good math, it just feels right to me right now.
