The Sword and the Scorch

greyfield 3915

Probably not as good as ETF Scorch on balance, but it's been performing nicely. On the one hand, you have to use Allele Repression instead of Project Vitruvius as your "extra" Scorches, and your ice mix is slightly less powerful; on the other hand, RP is still a busted identity, and Sundew is still a huge pain in the ass.

I've opted to go full-"rush" on the agenda mix, cutting the Niseis altogether for Fetals for added expense/annoyance/IHW counters. Your mileage may vary on that one. The deck might also not want all three Caprices anymore, since scoring out is a lot less useful, but they've been nice additions to centrals for protection against Medium assaults and the like. It'd be nice to find space for maybe some Snares! or Cerebral Casts.

Allele Repression is really versatile. Just got siphoned and you could really use the Celebrity Gift to recover? BOOM. Done. I feel like the combination of traps and Allele Repression is just too good not to include.

Why Mental Health Clinic? It seems like in this deck it's pulling against you slightly.

@GrantZilla1979 Because in practice you usually need two Scorches anyway, and getting the money for free is usually worth more than mitigating the hand size boost with PAD Campaigns.
