OBey — 1st @ CBI APAC Pod, 2nd @ CBI TopCut

Amarum 290

Long Story Short.

Before the banlist, I played a lot of games on Asa Group (especially on Jukebox Asa, but after 24.12 Asa doesn't feel enough comfy for me.

I like to play tempo high velocity decks. And one day I saw tuno playing something like old good Ob and I realize: that's it! I can play one of my favourite decks on CBI! (this revelation came to me three days before the tournament, lmao) So, about the deck.

Slots:

First thing you need to know — inf slots are tight. Really tight. Can’t throw away Tranq or all-mighty-Man or even second copy of Powers.

One day I write to tuno: what we supposed to do with Freedom and Crewshiko? And we have a nice conversation about a silly cards. what is hellheim server???

But after, I realize that solution is right here and it’s simple.

wrap idea

Wraparound. Simple 2 cost, 1 inf. Search it with instant speed and one server will be kinda safe (HQ, for example). Of course in other matchups

Shell of the deck in mostly this deck but with some spices:

  • Descent. 2 cost. My personal preference, cuz Marilyn is often getting trashed by runners, descent can replace one of your Spin, or just eat it with Svyatogor and get ice, powers, wall, tranq. And also it’s code gate, since this deck is fully loaded of barriers, sometimes diversity of ices get the gearcheck job pretty good.

  • Slash and Burn Agriculture. Along with Audacity, its double FA options, no clot in meta and you always can play silly lines like SnB/audacity into azef (xiaat knows that’s my favourite :P)

  • Tucana. I love this card. Just stack more ices to tax the runner out. (also easy to find with mav!)

How to play:

runner tryin to steal ya agenda from bc archer server (silly runner tryin to steal ya agenda from bc archer server)

Rush. Rush. Rush. Score all the points before runner can get through your Archer. If they do, BC for taxing they and keep rushing.

Score Eminent Domain and get safety remote space for your fancy cards. Yes. pinhole didn't exists. Some hands forced you to play more horizontally, some a more glaciery way. Actually, better option is rashida turn 1, cuz she makes you more confident and economy stable. (best corpie card, huh)

Sometimes you don’t have ice in start hand, but mavirus can be your ice. After you setup at least double ice on remote, you can score next agendas.

The best path (on paper) to score is ED ED SDS and Azef/AtL from your hand. In real game your scoring pattern will be different, cuz runner exist :P Your best ice is BC. It turns into smol big boy or HQ bruh(don’t be shy place it on remote if runner don’t have access to decoder.). Also crisium and mav is an option (remember, that Ob trigger already used).

Svyatogor Excavator is the best asset, it gives you option turn your 3-cost ice into Holo Man and score an SDS neveradvance. Just try to play, be creative, find a better lines, let the deck flow by itself.

In Soviet Russia you don’t play the deck, the deck plays you! (fr, didn’t joke)

Best/worst matchups:

  1. Lat — you can outrun him. He draw fast, but you can fetch all your beauty single pieces (even the agendas!).
  2. Crewshiko/Freedom — nasty duo beating our deck almost without chances. Freedom is worse than crewshiko, cuz he can trash our poor baby excavator at no cost. Absolutely awful. Try to survive keeping Marylin or Excavator
  3. Nyusha Deep DiveBC, Crisium for centrals and GAS GAS GAS. (BC turns into Crisium, huh)
  4. Kit — barrier spam, shot the werewolf.
  5. Mulch — oh, I love mulch! Hide nasty mavirus and use powers for reinstall mavirus.
  6. Arissana — Froggy girl don’t like, when your trash ice with her Trojans. Use it!
  7. Reg Hosh — mull for early eminent and score out behind Archer. Also some grip rigshoot azef can be possible ;)
