Rush Keeling -- Undefeated at Seattle CO (BAD DO NOT PLAY)

Do not play this list.

True, it wins games on occasion. In swiss rounds, Runners don't know what kind of Ag they're up against. They gotta prep for Loki, Cold Site, Regenesis, the works. These decks all require approaching the early game differently. So when you roll up with a rush Keeling list, sometimes you're gunna catch runners off guard. But it feels weird, desperate the whole time, and loses hard to Hoshiko with open decklists. If you fail to flatline the Runner by the end of the midgame, you'll lose, but it will take roughly a billion years.

Mulligan for Keeling, bonus points if you get DNA Tracker. Just jam it and keep jamming. They'll trash one or two, but Restore it back and then install another. There really isn't a good way to break DNA tracker over and over again in standard, so just keep dragging them through. You've got Bio Vault for Pinhole and Esâ run events. They'll either get broke and desperate (which is where Anansi and Anemone come in) or totally shut you down and make you feel silly for bringing such a weird deck.

Notable includes/excludes:

• Genotyping: Notably not Spin Doctor. While originally included for influence reasons (17 still not enough 😤), it actually works pretty well with this game plan. Trashing off the top is ok when we have Attitudes and Restores.

• Bacterial Programming: In every other 49-card Ag list, this is Longevity Serum. The thought was that there's pretty much no chance the game will go to time AND the runner has gotten 0 points, so scoring a 2 pointer is basically useless. As such, having every agenda in your deck help you if the runner steals it is a good thing, as either way they need to steal 3 agendas to win (Mad Dash notwithstanding).

• Magnet: If you aren't playing Magnet in a big ice list in the year 2023, you are bolder than I am.

• Simulation Reset: I'd play 3 of these if the slots existed. Great for fixing a slow start. Good call here Wentagon!

• Ivik: Just kidding, this isn't in the list. But it was at one point! Thanks Radiant for not letting me do that and putting in 2 more Chiyashis.
