Bye Bye!

Taking inspiration from The Snitchiest Exotic Earthrise Hotel, I decided to build my own variation of it.


I immediately identified Earthrise Hotel as the best thing we can be doing. Spending a click and 4 for 6 cards is definitely something we want to be doing, especially as these cards will come in over the next few turns when we have time to install them. So that immediately went to a full playset. I also took out Sure Gamble because I would rather draw anything else; I have enough money from Au Revoir stupidity.

With so much money, we have no reason to not just jam the Battering Ram instead of the Corroder, as it's only less efficient against small ICE compared to Corroder, and if they install several Barriers on a server, it becomes much better than Corroder.

Ninja got the nod for the 'actual' Sentry breaker, compared to the fake one that Femme Fatale is. Ninja is the most efficient non-Switchblade breaker, and there's no way we're fitting Silencers into this deck. Femme can take the small ones here.

Torch versus Gordian Blade was a tough choice, and I ultimately went with Torch for the more efficient repeated run breaking, instead of the better in a single run.

The last weakness I could find was the lack of HQ pressure, but I had no influence to bring another HQ Interface in, so instead, we look in-faction for the Escher. This card is patently ridiculous, even more so because we know ALL of their ICE, due to Snitch.

In testing:

Good lord does this deck make some ridiculous amounts of money. Seriously, I played against a Core Weyland who couldn't ever SEA Source me because I just had this enormous pile of cash. It can take a little while to get running, but with the 3x Diesel, 2x QT, 3x Earthrise, this is as fast as we can make it go, I think.

I never drew the Personal Workshop, which makes me think it might not be needed. Not sure what you'd put in instead, except Perhaps: Symmetrical Visage, max out QT, max out R&D Interface?

Pretty sure this is my new favorite deck, even though the Ken Comet deck is alluring.
