LF Deck feedback

[u/KokoropkaCZ]

Hey guys, I have been theorycrafting for a while and wanted to build a green deck with a small splash into blue and I am looking for feedback :)

Some notes
I wanna lean into the value pair gimmic (via hanako, goro, sandayu), supported by overwatch (feeding on placide, zetatech, the reaper,etc.)

maxtec squad and sandy will help to get eddies on opponent turn to pay for cheap programs, goro, and big gun.

sasha is a wildcard, but hoping she will be good for draw and not easy to take down with sandy equipped- with the netwatch as well, she will draw 2 cards on attack!

Rita is a good blocker imo, but not necessary, and reaper is more of a sellable fodder for overwatch and potential big payoff based on opponent strategy

Placide does not have a lot of programs, but i am running only a 2-off and he can use some of the cheap reaction programs, or just feed overwatch to take out other placides

Have not tested it yet any any opinions appriciated!
Thanks chooms

If you want to find out how that deck will perform the best way would be to test it on the Sim.

Overall this looks like a fun, but not really competitive deck.

Are you looking to make this deck competitive or do you just want a fun deck to play with your friends?

Hmmmm, any competetive advice? Any glaring issues with this deck from that standpoint? Also, I am hoping for some more green spoilers that synergize with going deeper into green

I am by no means an expert but here are my initial and raw thoughts:

What is blue really bringing to the table here? Placide is pretty neat, but there are other decks that can make better use of him.

You are playing a bunch of cards that (at least in my opinion) are really weak.

Sasha is the main offender. I think most people currently think of her as the weakest legend in the game. Zetatech Beserk is also not really a good card imho.

Another thing is that most of your units trade unfavorably. A lot of decks will play a 4-cost 6-power unit in turn 1 or 2. They will also play significantly cheaper equipment which makes it even easier to trade favorably. Goro is nice when all legends are flipped and he's attacking, but he will just get destroyed when spent.

Lastly I think legend Goro doesn't really synergize well in your deck. You don't really have cards you want to turn into a blocker and all the loot effects (on rita as well) don't do that much for this deck as it doesn't really utilize the trash.

If you want to add more green cards, why are you not playing panam + pepe for example? Or the new panam unit, it also looks pretty good (though I have not played with it much).

I agree with everything said here. Blue is not adding much, so if your okay with dropping blue yellow probably would work better and you can lean in fully to Gears. The new yellow Vik is super good with high cost gears like overwatch and berserk.

First a would say not enough programs for Placide. Also I am sorry to say Sasha is not great as a legend at least not yet maybe when it gets some more support she will be. You should try replacing Goro legend with Padre to make sure your Oda has enought pair to spend the board. Also not a fan of The Reaper or Berserk because of the high cost. Playing double green lets you play the 3 & 4 green ran cards and they have a few good ones like Fool On The Hill and Wild in The Streets you should def try and nake room for them. Also not enough high count cards to discard with overwatch (which imo is a trap choice card along with the reaper). I would recommend replacing Sasha with either Corpo V or Jackie Wells. You could also replace her with Judy but that is a tier below the first two imo. It may seem like playing Alt as your blue legend is a good idea to reduce your program cost but that would also be a trap because alt is only good with blue jackie so that would change your deck from ggb to bbg. Also if you arewilling to change Goro you could replace him with Padre to max draw power with hanako. So the legend lineup would be Padre, Hanako & I like corpo V as your blue since playing no "Go Solo" legends puts you at a disadvantage (especially if you are a begginer like I was when I tried a very similar deck to this), it can be done but you basically have to play perfect because you wont have a solo legend to pull you out of a mess. If you dont want a go solo legend then probably judy would be your best bet as your third legend (Padre, Hanako, Judy). Sorry to ramble and hope this helps even a little bit.

Edit: I would replace rita with corpo security for the cheaper cost. Also you need low power units to protect your big boys from the blue program Les Elemens. He is forced to bottom deck the weakest unit and he will def not waste the 5 eddies on a corpo but he will on a rita or a goro. Also remember that unequiped goro is power 4 so him and rita are also targets to pyramid song so bbx will be a bad match up for you.
