Added the New Baltimore event date. Confirmed that GrandLAN will not happen because the store closed and the kit went to another store on FFG’s waitlist. So all store championships have been scheduled.
Added the Fun 4 All winner to the opening post. Will post links to decklist when I get them. (Edit: Just got them and linked them above. He used @anon50033301’s decks from ChiLo).
We had the GYGO Store Championship this past Saturday with 16 players (updated at the top). @Chromatically won again, but that allowed @greyfield to get the Regional Bye.
Ryan
(Hayley Kaplan / Blue Sun) - 10 (SoS 2.75000/2.03125 - Wins: 4 Runner 1 Corp
Chris
(Leela Patel / Engineering the Future) - 10 (SoS 2.12500/2.31250) - Wins: 3 Runner 2 Corp
Tim (me)
(Hayley Kaplan / Building a Better World) - 10 (SoS 2.12500/2.21875) - Wins: 3 Runner 2 Corp
Steven used @Calimsha’s Hyperdriver Mac deck to go undefeated in Runner games. His one change of switching in Notoriety for Scavenge was inspired, allowing him to win both of his elimination runner games. His NEH (credit to @FoilFlaws / @spags) only dropped one game to Ryan’s Hayley in Swiss.
Ryan used an unconventional Activist Support/Blackmail Hayley deck to earn himself a Regional Bye, by going undefeated with it in Swiss and dropping just one game to Steven’s NEH in elimination.
There was a fairly good representation of all factions on the day except for Criminal, but that faction’s lone representative, Leela, made it all the way to 3rd, and HB, which also made it 3rd.
There was a strong contingent of Weyland, probably to counter the heavy Anarch threat. This strategy worked out well, since Weyland was able to win 7 of 11 games against Anarch, but it was not nearly as good as NEH’s 5 out of 6.
For what it’s worth, Scavenge was the card I cut to play Noto (then Critic). The deckslot is pretty much whatever and probably just dependent of the metagame. If you don’t have a clear view of the meta, Scavenge is probably the best call
Having a lot of Weyland trying to counter the faust-meta is a godsend for shapers anyway. Weyland vs Kate is basically Weyland going to 4-5 pts and never be able to score out the winning agenda.
Yeah, I agree. My BaBW deck dispatched both Dumbleforks decks I faced on the day, but couldn’t do much against Shaper, dropping 2 games to them. But, as the T.O., at least those games were quick.
Added RIW winner. Michigan was invaded by Toronto and @d1en didn’t drop a game to win the 20-person championship with updated Apocalypse MaxX and Mumba NEH.
Mike’s Comics also had a Store Championship on Saturday, but I don’t know of anyone that went. If you have any details let me know.
Man, that MaxX list was cruelty incarnate. Just goes to show that it’s not just faust that’s ridiculous in orange Props to Toronto for bringing their world-class meta to the Yew-knighted Staytes!
Store Championship in Toledo this weekend.This one is pretty close to the Metro Detroit community, so likely a lot of us will be there.
Mike’s Comics in New Baltimore’s Store Championship. I’ve asked them to let me know when they’ve rescheduled, but I’ haven’t heard anything back. They seem pretty responsive to posts on their Facebook group, so it wouldn’t hurt for someone else to ask them as well. But, this may be even farther away from you than Toledo.
Maybe some Store Championships in Indiana?
If you’re part of our Metro Detroit Netrunner Facebook group, that’s the first place where we post GNK and Pubrunner events. Also, I know for sure Flatland will hold a GLC event, but I don’t think a date has been pinned down. Maybe @hypomodern know more?
There will indeed be a Metro Detroit GLC event, probably in June so @raphaeln can defend his title. I’ve reached out to him about dates and will talk to the Flat Land folks next Tuesday.
It will be scheduled before the end of the month :).
That’s so very nice of you!
But, please, don’t change any plans just because of me if it is not convenient. I know that June is already booked with Nationals at Origins.
