Danse on that Music, Thule!

Lots of fun with this. Better yet with Jive music in the background.

Note : this deck was initially imagined to be in the startup format, but I made a mistake and included non-startup cards. It is now a standard deck, but probably an inferior version of what it could be.

Game plan : Win on centrals and never care about ice strenght.

Mulligan plan : Get some money first.

How does it work : Run central while encouraging the corp to not rez ices and then get rid of that ice after. Once the corp has rezzed some ice, score and give it back.

Meanwhile, you get tempo from clickless economy and draw your cards at the same time. This is on top of doing all of this without spending a click.

You will get to see a lot of the cards in centrals, forcing the corp to protect everything.

And since the startup format has very few 3 points agendas, this runner will put immense pressure very early.

Of course, luck is part of the game and having no breakers means you want to rush the corp as much as possible. This would be weak to the glacier archetype, but that archetype as fallen out of favor with Parhelion (it is still a good archetype in my opinion).

Note that Thule is weaker against Nyusha because of the click gained with the ability. Making Thule near blank, especially once you have some coffee installed.

I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I do. It is a lot of fun.

Cheers!

DreamNet has unfortunately rotated out of Startup, as has The Class Act and Boomerang.

Otherwise, cool concept. Have you considered Tunnel Vision as a supplement to the other tools?

The Class Act, Boomerang and DreamNet sadly rotated out of startup with the whoel Ashes cycle. Interesting idea though.
