Built this with the express purpose of proving that the Clot is something you need to bring to the table. Clot's a pain to fight through, but not the end of the world.

Did Blacklist actually keep any Clots at bay? Did it suck not having Daily Business Show or Fast Track? I found that without them I wouldn't be able to score during huge scoring windows because I didn't have the agenda in hand. Also, how often did the Grails hit?

Blacklist didn't directly stop a clot at any point. The games where it would have the runner just wasn't playing Clot in the first place, and the games where it would I dodged clot in other ways. Blacklist a lot of the time cycled and cost the runner 3 and run because there's no damn way they're leaving it on the board. I did lock a MaxX player away with it behind a Wraparound though. Love that card.

I did feel the absence of Fast Track (I had one in the list up to about 20 minutes before the event, until I realized I only had 1 Breaking News in the deck and needed to cut something out to put it back in). IF I could redo that, I'd cut the single Marked Accounts for it.

Grail "hit" twice for gigantic, game ending effect. In other games it was as taxing as expected (Galahad eating 2 Lady counters for 2 cost was the best).

Did you ever miss shipment from sansan? I find it's versatile enough to be useful a lot.
