Kyoya only builds autopilot decks to represent having the player as a puppet to the deck. I see what they did there.

Aaaand by the look of things, they're wasting a perfect opportunity to use to my "affordable loss" rule of thumb in favor of keeping Gao's on-screen record spotless. The affordable loss rule allows your main character to take a hit without really hurting the overall team, while at the same time, giving the teammates a chance to show they are capable of picking up the slack at times like this. The way they're doing it is almost as bad as the WRGP. Basically, they're forcing either Tetsuya or Zanya to become the sacrificial lamb so Gao can win the winner-take-all game at the end. They're also trying to put the sacrificial lamb first to keep the second person's back against the wall, thereby adding to the repetitive formula.
