[STARTUP] Only tree for me

Diogene 3942

Only use World Tree and be super agressive. There will be no respite for the corp.

Mulligan : either World Tree or Spark of Inspiration in hand.

Game plan : Put heavy pressure on centrals with nearly every multiaccess cards that are available.

With a 40 cards deck size and 3x Spark of Inspiration and 3x World Tree, we have 82.1% of getting either of those cards in our starting hand. Otherwise, with all the draw of the deck, you should be able to get it by turn 3 most of the time.

This is a breakerless deck, you have Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga and Endurance to break ices. This is why being agressive with this deck is important. Your ID will let you put ices where it help you the most, which is putting the ices with fewer subs first, so that it hurt less when using Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga to pass them.

World Tree will allow you to get Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga early and every other ressource easily. If you spend all you tokens on Endurance, use World Tree to swap you current Endurance for a new one, for the low cost of 5.

This deck is really wild. But then again, so is startup. Cheers!

Have you considered including more Hardware to provide a fetch for Endurance in case you don't pick it ?

@Mppqlmd that is a good idea. The cheapest would be to use Hippocampic Mechanocytes, but it would "cost you" an extra card from the damage. Otherwise, I think a Pantograph or Prepaid VoicePAD could be used, since it could bring some benefit, even if it cost 2 to install. We could take out a Dr. Nuka Vrolyck for it. Great call!

Thanks!

No problem. When playing World Tree, i like including a single copy of many useful resources, such as Xanadu, or The Twinning, to build a toolbox. From the cards you list, i'd definitely go for Prepaid VoicePAD. Launching a Maker's Eye with Prepaid VoicePAD, then trashing it mid-run to install Endurance, sounds like a very fun time.
