The Durdle is Strong with this one 4th seed at Store Champs

smusher 120

This was the Corp deck I brought with me to Heroes' World in Markham on Feb 6 2016. The deck was originally made from someone else, but made some changes to accommodate to my playstyle and deck space to put in Museum of History. Finished 4th seed with 5 wins, 2 losses and 1 timed win.

First Round: Vs. Silhouette: Stealth Operative This game was won due to time, but I basically just put down a bunch of cards in different remote servers, he didn't have the chance to run them all, so I scored a Project Atlas and got a Public Support put into my score area to have enough agenda points for the timed win.

Round 2 Vs. Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar I got my R&D ICE targeted by Femme Fatale and stole a bunch of agendas, and when I had a timing window for me to start scoring, he managed to run my hand with a Nerve Agent with enough virus counters to steal the remaining points from my hand for a loss.

Round 3 vs. Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar This version of the deck was slightly different from my round 2 opponent, so I didn't know what I was expecting. I managed to score a Project Atlas naked along with a pair of Public Supports in my score area, then proceeded to put my Global Food Initiative in the scoring server protected my Archer, Spiderweb and a Wormhole. He tried to Vamp me so that I would not have money, but I managed to gain enough credits to go ahead and advance and win the game. My opponent did get really unlucky not finding any agendas during the runs even though I kept adding cards back into my deck with Museum of History and missing every time.

Round 4 Vs. Noise: Hacker Extraordinaire We had played a bunch so I knew I had a bad matchup. I lost a pair of Project Atlas to Archives from virus installs and my advanced Global Food Initiative got imped after not being able to steal it with Old Hollywood Grid rezzed and ran archives for 6 agenda points. Afterwards, I got agenda flooded, he proceeded to run my hand and stole the last agenda for the loss.

Then I had enough prestige with the strength of schedule to be 4th seed and after winning my runner game against New Angeles Sol: Your News, ended up facing Valencia Estevez: The Angel of Cayambe in the Winner's Finals and then Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker in Grand Finals

Winner's Finals I managed to get a pair of Project Atlas scored and a Hostile Takeover scored in my scoring server, then proceeded to bait my opponent in my scoring server with assets so that he would burn Blackmail for running the server multiple times. I also made a two ICE server protecting Blacklist so that he wasn't able to pull Clone Chip shenanigans and bring back Blackmail with Deja Vu. On the last turn, my opponent drew cards off of Wyldside, installed turntable, then installed Self Modifying Code and then ran my scoring server with Stimhack, which did not have an agenda at the time, then broke my Ice Wall by discarding a card, then he encountered an Archer, then proceeded to discard the rest of his hand so that he could continue so I trashed a program and gained two credits, he proceeded to see that it was a Museum of History in the Server then proceeded to die to brain damage for not having a card in his hand.

Grand Finals Vs. Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker The game was going very well for me, since I was able to score a Project Atlas really early and forfeit it so that I could rez Corporate Town which shut down his Professional Contacts and his Technical Writers, which were his main economy, then he didn't have Parasites for my Tour Guides which had seven end the run subroutines, he had multiple accesses to R&D, but stole no agendas, I kept putting cards back into R&D with Museum of History. After resource locking him, I scored another Project Atlas with a pair of Public Supports added into my scoring area, then proceeded to make a 4 ICE scoring server with an Old Hollywood Grid about to score the Hades Fragment for the last three agenda points for the win.

If I would make some deck changes, I would probably put in some Cyberdex Virus Suite and perhaps a copy of Swordsman so that it can deal with the Faust. I would probably take out one Lotus Field for a Swordsman, and most likely take one PAD Campaign out for a Cyberdex Virus Suite.
