The Whale Rider - Startup Format

Free Willy! Take core damage! Your goal is to mulligan for Ghosttongue, get as much value from your events, take core damage then get your Hippocampic Mechanocytes online to keep your handsize up. You're gonna want to trash Orca by damage or discard if possible, and use a cheap Retrieval Run to get that installed and online. So the big question is Why Orca? You can use it to keep your handsize up by charging your Mechanocytes, or you can charge Time Bomb's to get them firing early. I usually end with 6 or 7 core damage and 6 card handsize still. Thanks to my big killer whale!

Flux Capacitor would be cheaper?

@PowerlessCubeRetrieval is 2 with Ghosttongue active, and the corp can't just trash the ice with Flux on it. It fills 2 roles and is a decent enough Killer.

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for good Orca card combo!
