Scorched Turtle (placed 4th/78 in the Dark Sphere 2016 SC)

biologyinoperation 39

This is the corp deck I took to 4th in the 78-player 2016 Dark Sphere Store Championships on January 10th in London. It went 4-2 in swiss and 1-0 in top-8 double elimination.

It's inspired by/very similar to Duskrunner's deck from last year's Russian Nationals: http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/27440/scorched-turtle-1-after-swiss-5-after-top-russian-national-

There are a few small changes:

This deck is a lot of fun to play and does a very creditable pure-fast-advance impression. People see the early Turtlebacks/Team Sponsorship and are very surprised when they find out later that there's enough influence to squeeze Scorched Earth in also.

i'll be that guy, you have 22 influence

And I'll be the guy to say that:

1) This was taken to a tournament pre-MWL, so no he has 17 influence

2) The MWL only applies to tournaments. We shouldn't put new players off net decking older lists if not going to a tournament, particularly given the fact that the MWL is intended to be fluid.

Congrats on the result, and nice deck. The 3x DBS in particular I am a huge fan of.

The MWL doesn't come into effect until February 1st. It definitely will kill this deck off when it hits though.

@basicio It will certainly hurt it, but you could drop one scorched and one sansan (let's face it, FA is only a threat here). Put in some Lily Lockwell to offset the fewer scorches and gain some draw and off you go.
