TAI Breakers performed well at an online tournament, quelle surprise! The world tree Ari deck is very good but has weaknesses that are possible to punish (like every deck) There have literally been 4 medium/large tournaments since the ban list with differing results why are we talking about banning cards?
While I don't fully agree that World Tree Ari has weaknesses that are universally easy to punish, I do agree that talking about banning cards is not exactly what I want to be doing at this point. When I talk about tournament results, I more so want to focus on discussing what has been successful at tournament scenes, and what upcoming tournament players should be keeping in mind when they're making meta-conscious decisions.
I was scrolling NBN IDs trying to find inspiration for non-PD decks, and remembering NBN: The World is Yours* used to be in standard is just wild. Hand size plus-1, but less influence, and no other ability for the 'benefit' of a smaller deck. Recursion is powerful, and having something that lets you recur your FA tools is just too strong. Back in OG NR days, you'd try San San Grid to FA agendas: that had a major cost and was really difficult for corps (to the point it didn't see a lot of play). But needing just /one/ Seemless, and being able to use it over and over on agendas that give value (credits or an install) is crazy powerful. But part of the issue is that PD is able to score whilst improving board state, whilst other decks can't really, and when runners set up so quickly and exploit weakness so easily, it makes it hard to successful do anything else as corp.
