Vulcanus

This is a rush-Accelerated Diagnostics Deck.

The plan is, score a Vulcan Coverup or Show of Force. Then, have Power Shutdown and Accelerated Diagnostics in hand with a Jackson on the table or in hand. Install Jackson, Power Shutdown your entire deck, and use Jackson to put back 3 copies of 24/7 News Cycle. Use Accelerated Diagnostics.

Do 2 meat damage x3. Ideally, win.

This doesn't always happen, people don't run Plascrete these days, but a few things stop this that are in use, Aaron Maron with counters does, as does I've Had Worse.

The deck is fast though, and often catches people by surprise. Usually before turn five.

Feedback welcome!

Hoo boy, that's a really long way around just to do a flatline. I'm impressed!

Exquisitely tricky and has a deliciously janky feel to it. Would give it a go.

Could we slot Salem's Hospitality to get rid of those pesky IHW? Consulting Visit also seems pretty good. Does Preemptive Action achieve much?

It saved me once from a game loss but honestly your suggestions are spot on.

Drop the Preemptive Action for Consulting and find some influence space for Salems and I think you've improved the decks consistency dramatically.

Thanks for the feedback!

You're running enough cards that Hunter Seeker might be a good answer to Aaron. You could run 1 with Consulting Visits. It eats your whole turn, but turns the combo back on. Also with Visits, you could cut back on the Power Shutdowns, as Visit -> Shutdown -> Diagnostics still works with 3 clicks.

By "Running enough cards" I mean "Running enough Agendas".

You don't need the influence for Salem's Hospitality because you got alliance buddy!
