(Shoutout to Coldlava, who dropped this absolutely stone-cold deck name during one night's oracle session and got the entire call wheezing for 2 minutes straight. Also belated shoutout to Baa Ram Wu the Prophet of Jank who played this concoction 5 months ago!)
Look, I wasn't even going to publish this in the first place, I had a deal with Brandon that whoever placed higher in the respective District Championship that they were attending last weekend (Pittsburgh for him, EMEA Online for me) had upload rights on the list. And then this happened:
I think I'm on like a 4 streak or something
Aaanywaaay...
Some time after CBI, both the king and I independently came up with the idea to port Toron's excellent Core PD idea into Asa, on the basis that the Élivágar Bifurcation-Djupstad Grid sCore-from-hand combination (what I like to call 'the Ellie hip-fire') was a much more consistent way of delivering the first core damage than sticking a Djupstad in remoteless PD or saving enough money for a Salvo Big Deal.
'OooOOooOo Jai you're so original, taking X concept and playing it in Asa, have you even played any other ID in the last 8 months' look friendo I said I'm washed and no one believes me what do you want from me
Yeah so anyway the hip-fire combo is 6c and precludes you from playing Tranquility Home Grid, so you're gonna need a lot of asset econ to justify the ID pick. We even faffed a lot about putting Hedge Fund back in the deck, but saner minds prevailed and stopped us from playing bad cards.
Tatu-Bola is also absolutely an econ card here, not to mention Asa flipping a Nightmare Archive the turn they go on the Djupstad is always funny as hell. Highly recommend playing this in meatspace and giving your opponent the most innocent look you can muster when this happens.
Anyway that's all for this one folks, District season is chugging along and Elevation is almost in sight (T-51 days at time of writing). Stay strong and don't resort to playing nonsense core damage combo like we did!

I've oracled this a lot and I've never seen so many opponents bail instantly at game end without a "gg". What a sick deck! Well played to you and The King! |

good hit with Cohort, if they take the core you can probably just go off, and if they take the -point honestly thank fuck, it compensates for the fact that we're playing 3 copies of the worst 5/3 that NSG's ever printed |

The King's speech to text inputting Audrey rather than Andrej is extremely on character lol |

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Asa at superhuman levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on side assignments. The Cobr.ai side determination algorithm has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches. Humanity has reached its pinnacle. The low tier peasants are living in poverty. It seems nothing can stop the great leader of 20XX, Lisan "Jai" al-Jaib, and his army, the Asa monks who live in great monasteries where they levitate while installing two cards simultaneously with one hand, and winning tournaments on Jnet with the other. The tournament metagame has gotten to this point where everything is played out to theoretical perfection, so tournament goers look at side assignments to see who gets to play Corp, and that’s the game. The leaders of the anti-20XX movement aim to keep 20XX from coming. They are all fighting to keep the apocalypse at bay, the Asa apocalypse. But their efforts are futile. Their silly Hoshikos, Sables, Lats, and Loups are no match for Asa, the only viable corp in Android Netrunner: The Card Game. Try as you will, but 20XX is coming. Or maybe, it’s already here. |
Why Nightmare Archive?
