Kiel's Best Mom (1st place GNK)

The Sunny train's a-rolling

This deck went 4-0 at a small 6-person GNK in Kiel, beating Asset-based Tempo Sportsmetal, Rush Argus, GameNet Glacier and Vegan Rush Earth Station. It was built almost completely by Jakuza, who in turn took inspiration from Cpt_Nice and TugtetguT. The only thing I changed was add in a third Security Nexus (which he also did in the meantime) and cut a Dirty Laundry. A reasonable change would be swapping the Career Fairs for PAD Taps, but that's a meta consideration, both cards are good and work well in this deck. The other main point of contention in this deck are the exact numbers of Aumakua, Rezeki and Jak Sinclair. You generally would like to play 3 each of Zeki and Turtle, but the other 20 Influence are very good, so cutting one of the two seems necessary. This, again, is a meta consideration. Jak with DreamNet and Turtle is very good for early pressure, while 3 Rezekis help set up your crushing lategame earlier, this really depends on the speed of Corps you are expecting. You could also go down to one Jak, but I don't like it. I think Jak synergises too well with Nexus, Turning Wheel, Aumakua and DreamNet to go gown to just one copy. If you do, though, you should definitely play 3 Rezeki and 2 Aumakua.

Also, do not cut the Notoriety. It won me two games: One where I was more or less in control of the situation, but there was still the Atlas-Audacity threat with Earth Station on 5 points and one where GameNet had the winning agenda in their scoring Remote and would have won next turn. Just knowing you have one extra point in your deck makes a lot of games much easier and fulfilling the conditions for Notoriety is laughably easy for Sunny.

@Klopstock Hi, bit late to the party, but I am wondering. What is your reasoning behind no Sherman? It is the cheapest of Sunny's breakers and barriers tend to etr.
