That’s Tennin NA, actually. He talks about NA tactics (scoring unadvanced Nisei mkII, bluffing with Jackson and Crisium). I’ve been playing a similar deck since H&P, but this is the first time something like it has been mentioned as top tier. Usually everybody just expects Trick of Light shenanigans out of Tennin.

Real exile players play chess!

edit:
Well, pawns

Minor detail, but the Valencia list should probably be down as Valencia Chakana rather than Medium Dig. It rarely digs more than 5-6 cards at a time and certainly isn’t set up for true big digs (also a lot of games end on a Nerve Agent run before Medium has even hit the table)

Ty, can you link me a better one?

I’m not saying the linked to deck shouldn’t be included, I did take it to 1st and 2nd place in SCs, I just think it’s been mislabelled. I haven’t seen a Valencia big dig build that’s gone anywhere as yet, the only other SC winning Valencia list I’m aware of is the Eater/Keyhole with Desperado build posted here

Question if you run a sentral server then jack out unsucessful can you run on remote or does it have to be sucessfull

Against Jinteki: RP your central run doesn’t have to be successful to run the remotes, but also you can’t jack out before you encounter the first piece of ice on a server.

ok so it just means he has to spend 1 more click thanks

No, not always. It depends on the ice you encounter. If you go for a server with lotus field, you can just end the run, but on a Komainu, or even a Pup, you have to pay.

I’ve been playing RegAss MaxX recently and I’m enjoying it, but I’ve never had experience running the fixed strength breaker suite (out of criminal for example). What should be mind set here, particularly with Sentries? I always feel like I’m one run away from an Archer to the face. Should I be looking to keep one or two Datasucker tokens? What about later in the game when central are locked down? Advice much appreciated.

The more suckers the better, stay aggressive. Also have a D4v1d at the ready in hand or clone chip. Clone chip might keep the corp from even rezzing archer, because it’ll cost them an agenda, and you’ll know its there, and it won’t hit 2 breakers and give them ETR or 2 cr.

So when the opportunity presents itself, perhaps early on, a turn like; Install DS, Run Archives, Run Archives, 3 on Ms. Jones, would be acceptable?

if rnd and HQ are locked out sometimes. If there is only unrezzed ICE, run HQ and make them pay. Running archives just for a token is not great, but if you have mimic out and worry about archer, you need those two. If you have nothing on the board but datasucker, fear no ICE(ok, some ICE) and run, run, run!

Would it be possible to tier these lists too? Or is the idea that most/all of these are strong decks in the right meta?

Is there also maybe a way to give this it’s own thread or even page like how the tournament winning decklists used to be? I think this is an awesome and valuable start for new and experienced players. Thanks for keeping this updated.

valley image pack for octgn floating around yet? or is this something that should be simple enough to do on your own, haven’t looked into it

Dan and Anthony are revamping the decklist section of the forum, I’ll wait and see if they make this obsolete.

Regarding the tiers. The “other” decks are not top tier. I don’t go futher then that to avoid tier discussions. This is about the decks…

Butcher’s Shop NEH seems to be gaining in popularity (e.g. Butcher Shop v4 - 1st Place Uncle's Games SC (Redmond, WA) · NetrunnerDB).
