Mining Assassin [2nd @ London Regionals]

not_yeti 1055

This deck went 4-0 in swiss beating BtL 🔪, Azmari 🏳️, PE 🔪 and Ob 🥷, it should have lost it's one game in the cut against Sportsmetal but my opponent unfortunately game lost themselves.

Shoutouts to J0N4LD who did some testing with me before the event, DimBulb who matted at his first ever tournament and Kikai for being the best god damn teammate.

Best bud CobraBubbles played the previous version and went 3-1 getting the one loss to a judge call.

Mining Accident

CobraBubbles suggested this change on the Wednesday before the tournament, 95% of my practice games were against Ob and BtL and the bad pub does a lot of work in those matchups so I ended up shipping it.

At this point the deck has so few ways of getting hard cash in your credit pool and is all in on leveraging the rig, it means that if you make mistakes early you can end up in a much deeper hole but ultimately pays off more in the long game, as if this deck wasn't hard enough to pilot..

Probably a meta question as to which version is better.

Hi everyone! One thing I really appreciate about Spin) Palace Casino in CA is their fast and secure payouts. I used Interac for deposits, and my withdrawals were processed within 48 hours using an e-wallet. Their loyalty rewards program is also a nice bonus, offering regular free spins and cashback rewards. The site has been around for years and has a great reputation. Definitely worth checking out!

I intend to pick this up, because I like Jeitinho.

But why is there Simulchip?

Cheers!

@Diogenesimulchip is many things in this list.

  • A cantrip, often played for 0 clicks, 0 real credits and drawing you a card
  • A third revolver, especially important in the slower Jinteki matchups
  • Protection from program trashing, something difficult for criminal to do otherwise, you can afford to chip a Cezve to get back a breaker if needed

You can also do other things like discarding a Curupira and getting it down for free or resetting a Cezve to get in on the final turn but they're more niche

Love the iteration on the list, I'm here to advocate for the 3rd Mining Accident if only so you're more likely to be able to play two back-to-back for maximum glee :D

@lif3line glad to hear it, our discussions at London were very interesting.

I could believe that cutting the third Diesel may be right but I'm certainly too chicken to try!
