Tune in to my youtube channel for a more in-depth discussion of the deck later on in the week.

Preface

One of my casual homebrews cobbled together for the UK Worlds testing gauntlet turned out to be the anti-meta deck of this year's Worlds. Who would've thought?

Special shout out to Dave (rojazu) and Laurie (lpoulter) for doing all the dirty work in testing this deck, verifying that it is indeed robust against Whizzards in general.

Description/Performance

With the 12 non-economy operations in this deck, the torture you can inflict on the Runner is really only limited by your imagination, as well as your ability to sculpt your hand during the game. As with traditional butchershop decks, piloting this deck requires more finesse in hand management than most other Corp decks. Especially so because in most games, the combo is not played out in a single turn; rather, the combo is initiated when a critical mass of conditions is met, and the game typically ends with you limping to the finish line, with the Runner so close yet so far from victory.

BOOM! did the heavy lifting against unsuspecting Runners during the Swiss rounds, but as the top cut unfolded the remaining players were much more wary of the flatline threat; the 1x EoI became incredibly key as it bought me multiple wins via agenda points.

Unlike my Runner deck, this is a rather friendly deck to pick up. That being said, it is by no means "the best deck"; it dies hard to most Shaper variants: Dyper, link Kate, and anyone running NACH + Film Critic. Do not play this deck if you're expecting any of those.

Congrats, man! I'm really glad you were able to kick some ass with SYNC! I had a lot of success with Tri-Scorch SYNC in my local Netrunner league, so I'm stoked to see that it placed high at worlds. :D

Your games were hands down the most entertaining I saw on the stream. Thanks for playing such an interesting corp deck and piloting it with such precision.

Congrats Ben! Thameside is so proud!

I loved watching this deck in action. Congratulations Ben and well done.

Brilliant performance Ben, and I love the deck. Really well done. Looking forward to hearing more about it on your channel.

Congratulations again for developing the best corp deck for 2016 Worlds! I'm honored to have both played against it twice and (if the deck name is any indicator) helped inspire it.

The agenda suite in this deck is a stroke of genius! Ditching the 3/2's takes some serious balls and I commend you for that. Nothing better than a runner hitting a Quantum Predictive Model after a Data Raven, and it double here as EoI fodder as well.

A question - in which matchup does Observe and Destroy do the most work for you? That's the one card that I'm unable to understand.

Thanks everyone :)

@tmoiynmwg Your decks never fail to inspire!

@grueble Observe and Destroy (O&D) destroys Plascrete. O&D destroys Obelus. O&D destroys Mediums and Keyholes and all the things that make you lose. What's there not to love about the card?

@beyokenI absolutely love this deck, and I'm so happy you played it to second place! After playing world's, is there anything in here that you would change?

My one question is why you don't have 2 EOI in here, it seems like you could really benefit from a second with 7 1-pointers in your deck. Could you just not find any space?

8 Nov 2016 meta4

If I was going to cut a card for the second EOI, it would probably be one of your six tagging ice.

Have played 1 game with this deck and I am in love. Was able to O&D Magnus, Archive O&D then hit Plascrete. Felt pretty good :). Gratz on the results.

As a follow up - I've been taking this deck to a number of game nights and a GNK, and the success rate has been very, very high. In the GNK it never dropped a game. It's oppressive, the Runner is dammed if they run and damned if they sit around and don't adequately protect themselves. Seeing 2 Breaking News scored is incredibly scary for them. Serious well done this deck, I love it.

18 Nov 2016 Oziride

@beyoken with Intervention coming, especially Data Ward do you think there will be space for it? if yes, where? if no, why? thanks
