Feels really good contributing to a resurgence of the boat.
One key improvement and two "eh" changes:
-Slash and Burn Agriculture as a 1x lets you fast-advance Eminent Domains essentially safely when you're otherwise locked out from the game and build a remote/econ engine from there. Closes a decent amount of games. Sometimes gets you a funny kill with Azef. Losing a 3/2 (Azef) from the list kinda hurts but the ability to Do Something when you have a flooded hand is absolutely huge. Gives us an extra slot because we can get away with cutting the incredibly awkward Audacity now.
-Wraparound was last-minute tech for ice destruction and Audrey decks because Freedom makes us suffer immensely but it never became relevant at CBI so I don't really know how much it matters.
-Tucana made the cut in the final "don't really know what to do with this" slot because it mattered a lot in a game I spectated. Again, didn't become relevant, but I don't think I hate it.
Experiments:
-1x Hearts and Minds was kind of cute but mostly just ended up as trash fodder for Svy.
-1x Urban Renewal literally never impacted the game and again mostly ended up as trash fodder for Svy.
-3x Mavirus was actually pretty bad! I wanted it to be good to facilitate ducking Diversion of Funds more reliably t1 but it made my opening hands feel a lot more likely to have no <=5c sets of options in them - doubling up t1 is just not possible.
Everyone go play this, it's the best deck.

I think if you want to play 3 Mavirus you have to be on the Regolith as well. Was Audacity really that awkward though? I usually found I was winning with it quite often. |

@Meathir The particular situation that was usually a problem was earlygame with no spin where there were a lot of agendas in hand. It's not a bad card and I'd consider having it alongside the slash and burn, but it sat in hand until the very last score a lot of times. |
given how many obs are in cbi top cut, you really predicted – or set – a trend. thank you for getting me on the boat!! <3
