Thanks Eric, I appreciate the write-ups and identity rundown!

Quite to the contrary, I enjoy tournaments with interesting twists and challenges, I find them immensely entertaining. I traditionally organize a couple theme weeks during each season of league play here that revolve around such twists and challenges. The part I take issue with is that this was done in the name of promoting a healthier and more balanced meta - and from what I can tell, it did quite the opposite.

I played and went 4-1 with a TWIY Grail Never Advance deck at my last Store Championship… the deck (moreover, the entire concept of the Never Advance archetype) simply does not work with only four 3/2 agendas in the deck. Had the ChiLo Grudge AstroScript restriction been imposed at my Store Championship, my “creative and fresh” NBN deck would have been shelved for something else.

Anyway, if you’d like to continue the discussion, please move it over to this topic, we’re well outside the realm of tournament winning decklists at this point:

I like the lil crash space-masanori combo!

975

I don’t love the 2x of Special Order and Silencer, I feel that this deck really needs to have the breakers it needs when it needs them, with a lack of Inside Jobs and general “slower” setup time, plus Switchblade really needs 2 Stealth credits to operate. Cutting ES to 1 or else the 1-of Kati, and maybe the ED, for 3rd of each could smooth out any issues digging.

976

You could think of Express Delivery as the third Special Order. Pretty reasonable in a deck with lots of powerful 1 ofs and situations where you’ve got the breaker but need more stealth credits.

Not to mention he’s got twice as many breakers as the last Stealth Andy list.

Priority Atlas

Agenda. 3/2.

Place 1 agenda counter on Priority Atlas for each advancement token above 3. Hosted Agenda Counter: Rez a piece of ice.

BOOOM!

Lol, I made the mistake of just checking my computer’s date, and it was after midnight. As you probably guessed, the tournament was the 29th.

982

Haha yeah I figured! Congrats on the win, I just have a question though why Tennin over plain old RP it doesn’t seem like you are trying to use its ability that much. I understand you can use a never advance strategy but do you think it was worth it over the click compression?

983

Wow 2 biotic labors in supermodernism. Love it. Take heed; this is how posted bounty should be played.

Well, I’ve been playing this deck since Honour and Profit came out, so part of the decision is just familiarity. But I do gain some interesting advantages. I can sometimes force people to run a fairly taxing server just to see a a Jackson Howard, since it could be a Neisei Mk II that I can score if they don’t run. I can also score a future perfect from 0 advancement counters in one turn, by combining my identity ability with a single trick of light. Finally, sometimes I can just double trick of light out a Neise Mk II or score the philotic entanglement from hand with a trick of light, which can help close out games.

There are some significant costs. The biggest one is not having access to the drip economy like Sundew, so I end up having to play medical research breakthrough, which is not a great card, but is essential for allowing me to rez ice early. Still ,this gives my deck the ability to rush out agendas if the opportunity presents itself, which is harder in RP since you have less burst economy.

He finished the last game off with a double Biotic 5 advance PriReq from 4 points, which was… an odd end to the tournament…

I hope he tutored for them with atlas counters

He did. It was pretty funny, especially becuase the runner was Silhouette and knew that the Pri-Req was in the remote. The only thing stopping him going in there and stealing it was 1. money and 2. a lotus field in the remote, and 3. No Code Gate breaker.
