[Startup] Remoteless PD - 1st @ Milano Startup GNK 5-0

cros 273

This is the deck I took to our 14 people Startup GNK in Milan, I decided to take this one because I didn't like Drago nonsense (even if strong) but I had low expectations, it went undefeated.

The basic idea is to play totally remoteless, in startup Boat is a staple so I wanted to give it as few target servers as possibile, this means a pile of ice on R&D, some on HQ (depending on the agenda situation and opponent) and Nightmare Archive to protect Archives along with Mavirus.

Ideally you want to FA three 3/2 and a 2/1 slowing the runner with the -1 from Nightmare Archive, they are also needed to make the two Ontological Dependence at least 3/2. Whenever you FA an agenda you take back the Biotic Labor or an economy card if another copy of Biotic is in hand. This is possible just because at the moment Clot is unplayable in Startup without instant speed tools.

The two Mr. Hendrik are there just to be installed togheter on a central server in order to give a single Core damage even to the most careful runners and activate Ontological Dependence as a 3/2. They never fired in the entire day but scared few runners avoiding me to spend money on ice.

Tollbooth, Bran and Bloop are enough taxing also for Boat and Botulus and make the runner check centrals less often.

The single Send a Message is a liability in the deck, you will never score that but Nightmare Archives help even in case of steal.

During the day I faced a Padma, three Esâ and an Ayla, most of the time the deck did exacly what it should and just in a couple of games I got flooded before finding a Biotic but I managed not to lose anyway.
