Untested/Non-competitive Decklist MegaThread

I hadn’t thought about the Twins, that is a nice idea! I’m thinking of trying a non-grail variant with grim/archer/Marcus Batty which they’d fit into even better as they’re also searchable with Recruiting Trip…

Give them a try sometime. They are absolutely devastating with Archer and Curtain Wall, bare minimum. You can do some cool bluffs with them as well since their rez window is like Caprice. I’ve had people bounce off Curtains they could break since they didn’t like the prospect of me spending a card to force them to spend 11. And if they bounce, you keep your copy of the card! win/win. With d4v1ds running around as some decks only Archer defense barring Parasite/Sucker, you can oversight Archers to good taxation too. Datasucker tokens reset as well, so Mimic+Sucker needs at least 6 tokens to break a Twinned Archer.

I considered the Twins, but they feel too janky for me. I might be wrong. (But I won’t try them out just now).

Two reasons that I love Fast Track: I want to score asap, and I can hold them in HQ without risking losing massive points to Legwork or random HQ accesses. Especially good in a deck that runs multiple 4/2s. Sure, Atlas does the same thing, but you need to find and score that Atlas. Multiple Fast Tracks (to get one early) helps a lot.

Should we split this to a new thread? Getting long here :stuck_out_tongue:

I suggest we call it Postmodernism: Weyland Rush in an Oaktown World

I was gonna wait and see if it held up at another tournament before sticking a thread up about it but when I saw how similar your list was I had to get involved here :smiley: I certainly think it deserves looking at in more detail, I’ve tried to build rush + trashing Weyland decks on and off for over a year now and this is by far the strongest the archetype has ever been.

Simple idea, take Meat is Murder, substitute out all the op economy for must trash asset economy, force a big economic swing, then kill the runner with fat traces. Gagarin is the best place for Weyland to stack up a massive remote economy, and the extra effort required to run on em means you generally stay quite well ahead in the credit race.

If they leave em alone, become silly rich and build into a multiple turn scorch fest.

Tested it some more, beat crim but lost to the Professor(!). Shaper really is the kryptonite of this deck. Now to figure out if I can pack in more Kate Hate or if I need to play more carefully.

Have you got Blacklist in your version? It’s pretty crucial against kate to stop infinite Sharpshooter recursion and other Shaper bullshit. It’s a very complex matchup but extremely winnable if you play it carefully. You need to be aware of what’s in the trash the entire time and try to catch her with a Blacklist rez when Atman, Datasucker or Sharpshooter is in the bin. If you can manage to catch 2 of them you’ve as good as won, but 1 will often open a window. Try to keep a different ice type on R&D to the remote so that forcing an SMC use on R&D won’t help her get in the remote, and don’t bother rezzing ice on centrals if the breaker will help her get in the remote as well unless she’s misplayed and overstretched economically - you’re way better off trying to draw into a Power Shutdown to kill the SMC than forcing her to pop it for a breaker that will actually help on the one important server.

The Prof might actually be a harder matchup than Kate since you don’t know their entire breaker suite the moment they put down the ID, so you can never be sure if they’re locked out or have another answer to your remote, and the fact that their econ isn’t as good doesn’t really matter as it’ll still probably be good enough to match yours over the long term - if you can’t win at full speed (sometimes the deck does just hand you an unstoppable 8-9 turn victory) you can forget matching any runner’s economy and have to focus on having more gear checks than they have tutors and/or MU.

5-2 against randoms on OCTGNs, seems broken.

In all seriousness, not as bad as it looks, but still pretty bad, Results have got infinitely better since adding some ice.

Probably more of a play issue and not deckbuilding. I made some huge blunders (install Blacklist behind Archer, not realize that the runner had tons of sucker tokens and a mimic…), but mostly I think you just need to slow down vs Shaper? This feels so weird, but right now, you can’t outrun Shaper, but you can turn on the afterburners and leave Crim and Anarch in the dust.

I made this. It’s very silly but seems not awful. Maybe I should find room for a parasite. Maybe instead of one of the career fairs. I guess I need a fracter too, or wraparound makes me cry.

I’m really wanting to play Off the Grid…and have it really work. When you combine OTG with Crisium Grid, life gets much harder for the runner. Now what if they had to run through bioroids? Sounds like a fun place to start.

I know she’s a big splash, but adding caprice to HQ with crisium means all hope is lost for the runner. Maybe find a slot for 1 or 2 of her. She can act as backup on RnD so the runner can’t force a win through there too.

-2 Snare
+1 Caprice
+1 Interns

With only one Snare remaining, I might as well move it to be an Ichi?

Maybe, even 1 snare leaves the runner guessing. Hit one, and they will back off a bit. Might not be the worst slot ever. I’m unsure if 1 caprice is that strong of an upgrade over 3 snare though. Might merit testing both ways.

Threw this Stealth Hayley list last night. Would love any and all notes on it. Mostly unsure about the econ and card draw package.

Peddler would probably be really good here. I’d probably go -1 Parasite, -1 Stimhack, -1 Quality Time (I swapped the Earthrises to QT in the most recent edit), as I’d prefer to not drop stealth credits when I don’t have to.
