Hardcore Sports (4th @ Omaha Districts)

NeuralShock 21

Hello and welcome to my second published deck!

This deck is the result of me exploring a fairly gross Thule Subsea: Safety Below direction that goes all in on core damage. I brought that list to New Year's Showdown and while talking with one of my opponents, @PiCat, it was suggested that I explore adding Giordano Memorial Field to the list.

This deck is the end result of a few months of tweaks and adjustments after that suggestion! Giordano was an excellent include especially for all the negative point agendas the runner was collecting. I leaned further into that angle by making the switch to Sportsmetal: Go Big or Go Home. The fun kick-flip in this deck is while having Arella Salvatore and Djupstad Grid rezzed, scoring 3-4 points and causing 2 core damage to set up scoring Ontological Dependence. Of course, this is far easier said than done but I've pulled it off a few times.

I particularly enjoy scoring an agenda and using Arella to place a Nightmare Archive in the server with an advancement counter to tempt the runner into an expensive run that feeds them a negative point.

This list is probably not terribly good, but it's fun.
