So I'm convinced this is the best version of "please don't run archives dear god im begging you i'll do anything" RH. For those who haven't seen this kind of deck before, the idea is quite simple. You have Regenesis. You have 3-pointers in archives. Go nuts.

I say "best" but I don't think this is particularly good anyway. An ideal game has two phases:

1) Find two Punitive Counterstrikes and then score an Obokata Protocol behind ice with a money advantage.

2) Save up 17 credits so you can Big Deal a Regenesis while you have a facedown 3-pointer in archives.

You don't need to invest too much into the remote. You only need to score one Obo, then you can durdle to 17 credits and hopefully nothing bad will happen COPIUM. Strategically, the main thing to keep in mind is that you will need Big Deal to score out. You can protect an Obo or a 3-pointer in archives with Punitives, but when it comes to scoring point 7 (ie, the agenda you actually need to win the game) you'll be needing Big Deal.

This deck is countered hard by Steelskin Scarring, Citadel Sanctuary, and Stoneship Chart Room. In other words, cards that see play in every deck. Have fun with that!

Why not use Biotic Labor to score Regenesis? Unless you meant to score an 3 points agenda?

Thanks for sharing!

Because if you biotic regenesis, then you dont get the on-score effect. Big Deal rfg's, so you can do it. Only needing to score a single agenda in your remote, and then being able to ignore the remote with Big Deal is the biggest thing that makes this deck function.

Good spot on Big Deal, I hadn't thought of that!

I really want to this see this as DOTW so that Andrej plays it. Looks fun! Is it fun? Maybe not 'fun'.

The best thing about this is SanSan has rotated so the first time there was ever a legitimate-ish use for Allelle Repression (archiving agendas at the end of the runner's turn) it can't be done.
