Truth is Relative - 3rd @ German Team Tournament, Undefeated

Feels to follow in my Standard writeup.

This is a curiously powerful corp I played at the German Team Tournament, together with Trucy and rustryder ("there's no i in there!") who were awesome teammates. It is also the 2nd time an absolute meme corp I built did unexpectedly well. Prepping a bunch for Standard meant I didn't have time to develop the true villains of the format: Loki AG out of HB and Saisentan Hafrun Ob out of Jinteki.

We use the special rules to swap the ID to Pravdivost Consulting, with the idea that if the runner spends their first click running a IAA'd asset, they must account for it being triple advanced instead.

What the runner doesn't know, of course, is that we essentially never install an agenda - in fact, we only play 6 to begin with, 3 of which must be stolen for the runner to win. Instead, we just develop an endless diabolical serving of Ronins, Clearinghouses, Cobrawriters and Urticae. This is quite different from the usual PE-based yomi deck where your agendas eat a lot of slots - unlike PE, we are not at all fragile into Hermes, for example.

Card choices that may warrant explanation:

Mwanza: Poisons any central running plan and helps fund ice to rez on centrals. The only game I came close to losing I gave my opponent about 7 Mwanza accesses on RnD. Still, with the added benefit of BacPro control I felt it fine to even rez them on RnD on occasion (only to later overinstall them, of course) - even if we don't punitive the money is good and your life you like it well.

Moon Pool: Is included because it lets us sculpt our hand right as runner is about to multiaccess a Mwanza'd HQ, leaving them to the Snares in hand and asking them if they'd rather clear the tags to juke the ensuant Mind Scapings or draw back up to survive the latent threat on the board.

All of this of course comes with playing with your opponent's mind a bit. Jinteki fundamentals, if you will.

Moon Pool also won a game by permitting me to add 2 adv counters to an installed Clearinghouse left at 4 adv counters.

Until next time,
