Skorpios TD (Cambridge Terminal Directive Event)

Cuacuani 84

Corp Deck for Cambridge Terminal Directive Event. Build rules were 1 Core Set + 1 Terminal Directive, only IDs from Terminal Directive were allowed. Corp decks had to have 3 Evidence Collecting (these replace the Private Security Force in this decklist). We didn't follow the MWL (although I didn't realise this until too late, so my decks both are MWL-legal). We then played 3 rounds of Swiss, but had the little Objective cards.

This deck went 3-0, but one of those wins was a timed win, because the pub called last orders. So it's more like 2.5-0. I went for Skorpios mostly because I own the super sweet Weyland Posted Bounty deck sleeves and I don't own the HB sleeves. I definitely recommend basing your deck choices on what'll look swanky. Apparently, it'll net you 4th place and some sweet full-art cards.

General gist is - score out behind ICE, pressure the runner into making a mistake, burn their house down. Not exactly anything new or interesting. I quite like that Skorpios makes the scoring part easier, if you can snipe an ICEbreaker. On the evening, I only flatlined one Runner, instead managing to score out in my second game.

Some quick card notes:

I made quite a lot of money. Not as much as some of the guys playing Seidr Laboratories: Destiny Defined, but enough that opponents stopped counting and just sort of accepted that I had the money to rez any facedown ICE.

Illegal Arms Factory was really good, although it did Agenda flood me one game. I installed it naked in two games and neither Runner decided it was worth trashing.

Shadow got me my one flatline. Runner ran last click without a sentry breaker and three cards in hand. I'm not saying it is good, I'm just saying it happened.

Rototurret didn't do anything that an Ice Wall installed in its place wouldn't have done. I don't think I managed to trash any ICEbreakers, which was a little bit disappointing.

I didn't see Mr. Stone at all, but in my head he's there to make K. P. Lynn more of a threat. She spent most of her time sat in the root of HQ, given the fact that pretty much everyone was playing Steve Cambridge. I can't wait to see if he because the new mascot of the Cambridge meta.

There should probably be some Snare! in here, somewhere. Maybe replace the Eli 2.0 with some Weyland ICE and then trim two Operations?

I managed all of the Corp goals, including getting 3 Bad Publicity in the same game by scoring all 3 Hostile Takeover. I went into my final game only needing to score one Evidence Collection, which went down naked Turn 1 and I then scored Turn 2. Probably wouldn't have done that if it wasn't the final tick I needed, but it turned out the pub was kicking out, so it didn't burn me too badly.
