Off the Grid (SA Regionals) 1.1

hi_impact 1732

After overplaying the crap out of this deck at regionals, I still continued playing it over the last month. Despite the stress involved for the pilot, this deck is still hilarious to play against new opponents and friends alike.

Changes include:

1) Tighter agendas: I felt 3 pointers are better for the timing windows this deck creates. Falls into next point.

2) Punitive Counterstrike. When promos & mats are on the line, people don't play Weyland. Plascretes are getting cut in the competitive scene. Despite not running Scorched, I felt Punitive provided both a second win condition and a possible hilarious out for the weak early game of this deck. It scares people if they see it on access, too.

Gameplay: Mulligan for at least 1x Quandry/Ice Wall. Play off your draws, meaning you either Oversight a huge remote, or HQ for Off the Grid. Expect 1-2 early accesses. Count their credits, watch for the Inside Job.

Every deck is countered by something, and this deck is shamefully disgraced by generous Femme scavenging.

Side note: I am eagerly awaiting Blue Sun. While this deck is not a 'Blue Sun' deck, I think any deck that uses Oversight AI benefits from Blue Sun more than BaBW. Even without changing a thing, this deck will be an instant ID swap for Blue Sun.

The Root & Taurus currently have no space in here, but that will change come Blue Sun. The Restructures or Beanstalks are targets for cutting.
