Deck Notes
I've been playing variations of this deck for a year now, and with great success. It has won 3 Store Championships, a Regional, finished 5th out of a field of 170 at UK Nationals and finished 3rd at Worlds 2015.
This variation of the deck is teched to beat NEH Astrobiotics and Butchershop/Convenience shop decks. These decks give an open remote which I can abuse to gain a credit advantage using Security Testing and Bank Job. In testing leading up to Worlds it had an extremely positive win record against these decks.
However it does have weaknesses, it isn't great against glacier builds especially decks like Foodcoats which don't give an open remote. I knew going into Worlds that the deck only won 25-40% of games against this deck. I predicted that the majority of the decks I would face would be yellow and therefore this would crush them, but it was a gamble on what the meta would look like.
The deck can definitely be adapted to give it a better glacier match up, and previous versions of the deck were not as 'all in' on the dealing with yellow decks. However I feel that in a yellow heavy meta is where this deck does its best work.
I'm not going to do a complete breakdown of the key cards in this deck as I've done this on other published versions, but the key is the run based economy in my opinion. Desperado, John Masanori, Dirty Laundry and Security Testing / Bank Job gives you credits for days and allows you to deal with asset based economy extremely well.
I'm pretty proud of this deck being the only Criminal in the top 16
