[Startup] Kessleroid Isn't Real (1st @ WFET)

Cobalt 645

Went 3-0 with this at the World's First Elevation Tournament in Birmingham. While I'd been having fun playing with MuslihaT on Jnet, I wasn't really in love with her, and Hermes Tāo felt a bit too similar to what I was playing pre-Elevation.

It was while looking at Rent Rioters around 9pm the night before that I remembered Sebastião, and then realised Transfer of Wealth is basically Hot Pursuit! I quickly bashed this together by taking several pages out of eden_online's sebs wins. As we don't have Bankhar in format, I added some extra Botulus to compensate, which seemed to work well.

(I also realised I'd not put in Eru until about 5 minutes before I left the house; this was a good thing to realise, as she then closed out two games for me.)

Much of the same advice applies; use the Amanuensis and Solidarity Badge engine to keep drawing cards, use Manuel to attack centrals, and eat all smaller ice not named Kessleroid with the Crew. If you do happen to encounter Kessleroid, simply say no. The Corp cannot legally rez this card without your consent.

I can confirm that Eye for an Eye and/or Gourmand are completely vicious, particularly with Audrey. A Corp with all its operations trashed is not a happy Corp, at least right up until you miss the Bigger Picture and get donked for 10. Serves me right for all that transferring, I suppose...

I'd recommend giving it a try; it's a whole lot of fun!

As for the Synapse matchup... Seb vs. Synapse
