Worlds 2014 2nd place decklists

Yep, just wanted to point that this archetype is not unique inside of this identity.

Hereā€™s my current list.

Cerebral Imaging: Infinite Frontiers
49 cards
Influence: 15/15
Agenda points: 20

Agenda (10)
1 Accelerated Beta Test
3 Efficiency Committee
3 NAPD Contract
3 Project Vitruvius

ICE (14)
3 Eli 1.0
3 Enigma
1 Rototurret
3 Viktor 2.0
1 Viper
3 Wall of Static

Operation (23)
3 Archived Memories
3 Biotic Labor
3 Blue Level Clearance
3 Hedge Fund
1 Reclamation Order
3 Restructure
1 Reuseā€¢
1 SEA Sourceā€¢ā€¢
3 Scorched Earthā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢
2 Subliminal Messaging

Upgrade (2)
2 Panic Button

Panic Button acts as an Off the Grid for HQ. If you have as many credits as the number of cards left in R&D the runner canā€™t run HQ anymore with Panic Button installed. If he does, just draw your whole deck then Reuse, Biotic Labor 3 times, SEA Source and Scorched Earth 3 times. If you have a scored Efficiency Committee, you can Scorch Earth 4 times (with Archived Memory). Most of the time, the runner is not aware of Panic Button and you just get an easy win. If he knows the trick, then your hand is not runnable anymore hence the HQ ā€œOff the Gridā€.

After scoring the Efficiency Committee, you will typically be lower on credits and it will prompt the runner to run. If you have the right pieces in hand (i.e. Reuse, SEA Source, Scorched Earh), Reuse gives enough money to scorch the runner. If he has a Plascrete Carapace, simply use the Efficiency Committee counters to Archive Memory a Scorched Earth #3.

It is quite tedious to actally win with Agenda points if the Runner decides to never run. A possibility is to add 1 Domestic Sleeper to speed thing up. Another possibility is to install 3/2 Agenda on naked remote to force the runner to run.

Andromeda with Security Testing and John Masanori is quite widespread at the moment in Europe. This deck is a good counter. It has a terrible match up against Noise though since there is no influence left for Jackson Howard. Noise can sit back and installs a bunch of Virus until your are milled out. So take it to your local tournaments wisely depending on your meta. :wink:

Why 3 Vitruvius over ABT? Do you normally overscore them? If not, it seems that ABT is objectively better.

its not better in the deck with 14 ices and no jackson.

Itā€™s an optional trigger.

ofc optional, but in that case its blank agenda here. u may leverage vitruvius better.

If youā€™re fast-advancing all your agendas then Vitruvius is also blank. I think triggering ABT is more likely than overadvancing Vitruvius.

its clickless archive memories, can be crucial later on. your goal is to kill with scorch, so u may spare two biotics to overadvance vitruvius.

we may agree to disagree, all in all its a matter of playstyle :wink:
