Vengeful Child

North 144

What happens if you put a child in charge of a revolt...?

R&R deck publishing bandwagon, currently untested but...

Degenerate CV/Zer0 shenanigans in Gnat on account of you getting pieces faster in a smaller deck. No Inject because I wanted to include breakers that I don't need a mortgage to actually break ICE with, so no MKUltra/Black Orchestra. Also deck space.

Idea is to play pretty loose and not care what you bin if it means getting set up faster. Levy + Same Old Thing for recursion, Same Old Thing meaning you don't have to worry about losing Levy to Zer0/trashing it for a Patchwork install if you draw it early, similar to MaXx I guess.

Friday Chip + Imp are mainly in there to trash big scary operations and 5/3 Agendas that Gnat might have trouble immediately dealing with due to his tiny child hands.

Probably has a very, very rough time against Skorpios.

Guinea Pig didn't find a place? Seems like the card is intended for Gnat. You could replace your code gate breaker with Cradle if you wanted more influence, too, but maybe all of that runs a little too delicately.

@Gauss Both good points. Cradle I wasn't so keen on as I think having an empty grip (thinking strength for Tollbooth) isn't great for any surprise damage. Anything above it's strength would also be an issue without heavy Datasucker investment. Not to say you couldn't have 1 each of Gordian and Cradle I guess. Like you said, Cradle seems delicate.

Almost a similar vein with Guinea Pig. I'm sure it could be good, but it adds more points where you have to...maneuver yourself into a place to play it efficiently.

To be honest I think this is mainly degenerate Anarch in a 40 card frame to give speed alongside Patchwork, Gnat's ability giving you the odd free credit. Absolutely up for making/seeing something more thematic though, that leans into the handless/near-handless play. Could make use of Guru Davinder etc to keep yourself safe.

Thanks for the comment! Helps me think about it more.
