[PAWNSHOP] i just think she's neat (1st@First Pawnshop)

This was my Runner deck for the inaugural Pawnshop event. It went undefeated, beating KnightFromChess (BABW), Nephralite (Cybernetics Division) and l0velace (SSO). My corp, BWBI, also went undefeated so I won the tournament!

You can read about what Pawnshop is, my convenient knowledge of FFG jank, and my thanks in my Corp writeup.

I built this deck because Jesminder + Code Siphon + Maya lets you be aggressive early and hide away the few economy cards that a Corp has available to them. I definitely, absolutely, 100% did not just build this deck because I think Jesminder is pretty and I am definitely a very strategy-minded individual apparently the strategy is picking cute people given what happened with girls

We use the most convenient rig I could think of for the format: Gingerbread + Panchatantra. By painting an ice with Tracer, you can break one ice a turn for a reasonably small amount of money. With this, you can Code Siphon or dig for the second Panchatantra and so on. Sharpshooter can also be used to break one ice for basically zero credits by painting it with Destroyer.

Yes, this rig does mean I can only break three non-Tracer non-Destroyer ice a turn. Just win before then, or derez some ice with Crescentus. The fact that this rig consists of so few pieces means that you can run early and force some rezzes to slow the corp down.

The rest of the deck is the urgently-needed money and draw to make a functional deck in the Pawnshop format. I'll shout out Ice Analyzer: it's a cool card that will get you one of your programs for free, and you can sell it to Isolation later if needed.
