NAT Job

This deck started when I first saw Neutralize All Threats. I felt like it was a card made for Whizzard; and to me it is. I started out wanting a deck that destroyed the corps hand. Originally, this included Hacktivist meeting and Demo Run. The sad part is, those two cards tend to be very timing sensitive, and often dead weight for me. While I loved the idea of them, I also realized that I needed more econ as well.

Looking at econ, and in Whiz, I took direct queues from Spags. Honestly, this is 80% L4J. Neutralize All Threats is a major departure, but I feel like it really makes the deck sing. I realize that it's unique, however it's zero cost, and on top of that the downside doesn't even exist for Whiz.

So, while it's a variation, I feel like so far that it's a really strong variation. It seems like a crazy amount of influence but NAT lets you do that as soon as you draw it, and that can be turn one. The threat against HQ begins so quickly that it creates immense pressure.

Faust is the other major switch. Since this deck is more of a rush style of play, you need more universal access.

There's a one-of Dirty Laundry in there, which might seem odd. Well, at this point, it's just the random slot that I felt was better served with even more econ. I'm not sure this deck needs it, and eventually I might drop it, but it does let me load up my rig as fast as I can.

So far this is the fastest, and most brutal, Whiz I've ever run. I love it.

Don't you think is a bit slow for the current meta? Did you test this deck? It sure does a loot of money! Did you think about singularity, Deja Vu, Would it not give you more tempo to buildup you resource infra? Sorry about the english it isn't my first language! Nice deck good luck!

So far I'm 5-1 with this deck against the likes of Spark Agency, Haarpsicord, Chronos Protocol, and the latest version of Redcoats. The one loss was against a tricky Haarp that likes to catch you with 2 tags, which means if you run click 3 or 4 it's bad news. I ran click 3 and instead of the winning point I caught a second tag and a scorch/accident to the face. :)

It's definitely quite fast. Singularity is a bit expensive, though it's always been a card I loved (at least in theory). DeJa isn't needed. I'm not really recurring much here.

I think you would look at the deck I derived from, which was L4J. That's a solid build. Honestly, it speaks volumes about simplicity. The world champ's HB was all about simplicity, and it makes sense. You don't need tricks to have a strong deck, so that's why I made my only "trick" a free HQ interface that can start pressuring turn one. Normally Whizz doesn't create that pressure. Honestly I feel like I should -1 Dirty -1 Liberated, but the pile of cash to build and run with impunity is just too good. Also, in concert with the free trash creds Whiz gets, there are a ton of tougher Glacier builds that the extra credits help against, especially late game.
