Identity Crisis: Gnat - Locke Lamora

chaosof99 74

I was going for a Gnat deck for my personal challenge of winning a game with every identity. Not being a big fan of gnat and absolutely despising Klokotze's Black File deck I wanted to get this over with quickly, and just netdecked an aggressive Apoc list from here. Unfortunately the experience of playing it was awful. It ran Aumakua with the only support card being a Knobkieri which didn't exactly work out. The Corp would just ice up centrals, purge, and you'd have no access anymore and no way to utilize the Turtle.

So with this deck I tried to rectify that. Deck has a bunch of run-based economy which facilitates aggressive play. Spending 10 influence on DoF is well worth it in a 40 card deck, and keeps the Corp poor and servers open. The same is true for Devil Charm and Chisel. Prefer this over Hippo as Devil Charm doubles as support for Aumakua, allowing to break ice even after a purge. Backup breakers are also included.

The plan is to win fast and win early, with some multi access in the late game if necessary, or locking them under repeated DoF by way of Labor Rights. 3-1 so far by time of posting. Not YAAD, but probably better for it.
