Agent's Control Slide Deck V5

Deck I used in the Online Round Up 2026. I was 2nd place in the swiss rounds, but lost the first round in my top 8 match vs Prodigy. This is a control slide deck that does not want to be involved in shootouts. I slotted in some vamoosin to help provide some escape tools if my dudes became wanted on the opposing side of the street, idea being let the callout happen on my dude, let them get wanted, then vamoose myself home unbooted letting me move about again after to threaten a new location. The workhorses of the deck were blood curses and phantasms. If I drew into them early I typically won. Given that I would phantasm opponents dudes onto my home or their adjacent deeds forcing them to boot them to move somewhere and of course blood curse speaks for itself.

Game 1: W vs Aussie Scum playing Morgan Regulators. Drew blood curse and phantasm early.

Game 2: L vs Carter playing House of Many Faiths. I drew into my blood curse and phantasms very late, which at that point Carter's deck had plenty of extra influence to offset whatever I cursed away. In the end I conceded, because he had me dead to rights with overwhelming board presence for the final day.

Game 3: W vs Deputy Way playing House of Many Faiths. He drew into some spells to protect his dudes for shootouts that never happened. I played enough deeds to slide out and I blood cursed just enough to push me over the edge.

Game 4: W vs Queen of Carnage playing Encroaching Darkness. She did not see any forced fights and I just kept spitting out deeds and blood cursing whatever influence she had on the board to let push the win.

Game 5: W vs Zenarchist playing Law Dogs. He did not have enough forced fights to combat my dudes parked at home. I got my blood curses late, but it was enough to seal the deal by sliding out over his reduced influence.

Top 8 match, Game 6: L vs Prodigy playing Serpentine Syndicate. He had a more shooting capable control slide-ish deck. I think I lost lowball 6 times in a row and that really messed with some of my economy. Him winning lowball and being able to play his own deeds without fear me threating them put me in a position that I couldnt come back from. His force fights were enough to do me in targeting my dudes with Blood Curses. Solid performance from him, while I felt like I just made some bad choices.
