I get by with a little help from Beckman

shadygrove 7

I made this deck because I am the TO for a fledgling league, and the playmat this season is Tri-maf Contact, so I basically started with 3 of those and built from there.

This deck is all about getting Rachel Beckman out, and your playset of Tri-maf Contacts out, to start cranking out tons of bucks. The Decoys are in the deck because you just lose the game if you get tagged. I feel it fits in really well thematically with an Aristocrat who relies on the help of a bunch of lose, shady connections (who will kill her or flee if she is even identified by the corporation). This deck can be quite fast with Forged Activation Orders and Inside Job, but the icebreaker suite is expensive. You could run Gordian Blade instead of Torch, but I just love Torch's no-nonsense attitude and grim efficiency. I used to use Femme Fatale (because she is also a league promo), but people kept playing around her ability and she was always just bad.

Your opening hand (since that's what Andromeda: Dispossessed Ristie is all about) should have a Logos in it to maximize the "Tutor" ability, and Tri-maf Contacts or Hostage to grab whatever you need. This deck used to run Earthrise Hotel, but I put Drug Dealer in because of the synergy with Calling in Favors and all the ways you can manipulate your turn to not have to suffer the downside of Drug Dealer.
