Bad deck building contest

Design a bad deck and post the list here. It can be a corp or runner deck. One entry per person. Me and a guest judge will decide on the winner after some time.

First person to post “I’m the guest judge” is the guest judge.

Important: your deck must have a bad concept with a good execution. If you submit an astrobiotics deck with no economy cards, that would be a good concept but a bad execution, which is the opposite of what we’re looking for.

Turns out spending all your influence to fuel the triple Trope + Monolith + Windfall with empty stack for 54 credits isn’t as spectacular as one would’ve hoped. Even if you manage to pull it off, by the time it happens, the game is usually over :wink:

I can’t imagine not winning this contest.

I was actually serious building this, until I tested it and realized what a terrible failure it was :slight_smile:
Notice how the Au Revoir / Snitch combo poorly antisynergise with the drawing to a never will-be Paintbrush / Surfer combo made of one-ofs and Test Runs.

This is pure organic winjuice here.

The key here is starting every turn with an Investment Seminar and ending each with a Deja Vu for FIS, or SoT>Deja Vu>FIS.

@cursor EdenDejaEden I guess ? I see there is competition :wink:

Outmoney the corp and install SMC’s to bluff breakers and Clot. Never run. The corp will never feel like they have a scoring window and will eventually mill themselves out. Push Your Luck was better in the Prepaid days but the deck is still strong. Nonadvanced 3/2’s are a problem but their days are numbered. Look for this on the front page of netrunnerdb soon.

Needs more marker

Way too good to win.

Bad concept ? Check.
Good execution ? Check.
Playable ? Check.

It’s easy to put some cards together who obviously doesn’t work. It’s harder to actually make a real tier 1 jank who can actually win a game :stuck_out_tongue:

Why lockdown and troll?

My own entry:

Score a Vulcan coverup then shutdown combo into 6-18(!) meat damage!?! Hope you can draw enough jacksons and diagnostics to get through their plascretes and IHWs. Also hope the runner isn’t noise…

Pew pew pew!

Troll is there because it synergize with Valley Grid. It’s a 1 rez cost not super easily parasitable ice who always proc Valley Grid (since 0 sub == all subs).

Lockdown is just an opportunistic hate on Faust.

Huh… wow that is the most trolly troll ever.

I actually went to a regional last year with a deck based on the same principle and finished 2nd (managed to flatline the actual winner).

How do you get a flatline? Glory run on R&D that failed?

You know Palana has a lot of synergy with lowering handsize and glacier builds. Harvester at the bottom of a valley grid server would be hilarious. Maybe a scorched cerebral casts build?
