CJFM 2258

Working on finding the best balance of stuff in here. I love Order, and this deck can be poor while it's clicking up with Kati Jones. None of the card choices are firm, but I thought I'd share a solid shell that might serve well for the community. Comments appreciated.

I'll defer to you on Order of Sol; you know far more about the strength of that card than I do! It must be decent to splash it for 3 influence.

I'm curious about your take on Knight in a post Blue Sun world? Obviously you included it, but I know I've been shying away from it. Plus, you don't have the AS play to back up it's immediately pay off, particularly since you are going all in on resources. You think Knight is still worth the risk?

I'm looking at that 3 influence spent on Order of Sol and thinking you could upgrade the 3 Special Order to 3 SMC instead.

Ever since I hopped on the (S)MC Hammer train, Eddie has become much more consistent for me, especially against FA decks. That said with just 2 Grimoire the MU to run SMC can be tight

@omegalife2002 It's a catchall right now, and it's been good in the games I've played (but yet to play against BS). I'm not 100% on it, but I feel that it is a good place-holder while you're SO'ing Zu.

I am not yet sold on Order in this build; However, Order just saved my life against heavy-scorch + Punitive Argus: being able to clear two tags in a turn after Data Raven + being closed-accounted. The card can keep you in the game, and it's a must-trash for the corp. Again, it could just be better as +1 Legwork and +1 Utopia. I'll let you know how it's shaping up, but so far: very, very good.

Future cards:

I think SOT becomes Deja here. I like SOT, but Deja is better for Parasites. I'd like to go to 2 copies of Deja if possible, but what to cut?

I've yet to draw Medium or Imp... Not sure why that is.

@Dzerards Definitely an idea, though Special Order has been adequate for what I want to do. Finding a Parasite instantly would be nice though. And then I could fit in the Dejas...

I can see a version where you go to 3x SMC and cut the Knights for D4v1ds. That way you have instant protection against Archer, and can neuter Blue Sun.

@CJFM Here's an idea:

cut Order of Sol, then up Legwork to 3x.

Change ZU.13 to Gordian Blade.

Swap both Knights for 2x D4v1d.

Drop in the 2x Deja Vu's.

I think that works pretty well.

@omegalife2002 did a bit of work on it after testing it all day yesterday and this morning. I will test with the third legwork. I added Davids and Dejas. I'm not a fan of Gordian Blade... it's too expensive in the current environment (quandaries/enigmas). Paying 4 to get through a Lotus is sort of taxing, but that's the price you pay for a cheap breaker.

@CJFM I completely agree about Gordian, I was just trying to use up all the influence. In my own decks, I'm usually OK with skipping out on a single influence if nothing fits quite right.
