Congrats on the win! :smile:

I think if you’re going that route, you may want to wedge a Femme in there.

1296

I think this goes a long way to explaining how that Kim deck had any success. I think the Kim deck flat out folds to blue sun. In the absence of BS, I guess it’s fairly reasonable (except for leaving mimic in favour of Cuj.0).

That’s a nicely balanced field though. Sounds like a neat tournament.

1297

Really? My experience has been quite different. If they’re on the bblum vegan bootcamp plan, you might be in trouble. I’ve been doing okay versus Blue Sun as a whole.

1298

I meant that Kim deck in particular, not Kim decks in general.

Until ff0x (or someone else) starts updating the decklist page again, would it be possible to get a thread that is purely decklists, completely free of commentary or discussion?

Oh. That’s probably fair.

1301

FF0x is MIA. We are actively looking for someone to takeover the job at this point. We’re probably going to make the setup a lot easier (by removing the picture) and/or possibly make the decks self-submittable.

Can you login to NRDB from more than one location? One possible solution is to have a shared, public account where everyone can upload and do writeups on the decks. Guidelines would have to be made for some consistency though.

Alternatively we could have one dude in charge of it, so people email that dude with their writeup and a NRDB deck and the dude simply copies the deck and the writeup.

People would be able to view all decks within NRDB (and all of its features) through this NRDB users’s profile.

This is a never-advance/glacier deck inspired by Clicking Hell. It proved to be surprisingly effective (mostly because EtF is such an insane ID).

I actually played 0 games with this excess-MU brew before the tournament. I had assumed that it would roll over to NEH, but there turned out to be some play in the matchup because Legwork and The Maker’s Eye are really good against them.

Tournament summary:

Round 1 against Chris (Tennin FA / Drip Andromeda)
Chris’s Andromeda didn’t manage to get much economy going and fell against HB’s quick economic pressure. As runner, I eroded Chris’s R&D defenses with Femmes and won via multiaccess. 4 prestige.

Round 2 against Preston (NEH FA / Noise)
As what would become a recurring theme of the day, I beat NEH by the skin of my teeth thanks to a lucky Maker’s Eye. The HB v. Noise game was also tense and interesting. I rushed out a lot of agendas through while Preston was building, but the late game was very dicey since Chakana was active and there were 4 points in archives. Cyberdex Virus Suite was clutch and won me this one. 8 prestige.

Lunch break. Eight of us went to a Mexican restaurant a couple blocks away. Unfortunately the restaurant’s service was so slow that we had to take our food to go and I didn’t get to eat my machaca until after round 4.

Round 3 against Jon / @Sirris (NEH FA / Reg-Ass MaxX)
I’d been practicing with Jon the week before the tournament, but I could never win any games against him. That trend continued here. As runner I foolishly kept a hand with ProCo and no other econ, drew into almost no money, and lost horribly. As corp I was up 3-0 when time is called; Jon casually walked through Ichi on R&D on his last turn to get 4 points and the timed win. smh, 8 prestige.

Round 4 against Noah (NEH FA / Andromeda Datasucker)
The turning point of my corp game: Noah ran HQ with Datasucker/Mimic on click 2, planning to break my Ichi. I proceeded to rez Cyberdex to purge his sucker tokens and The Twins to force him to encounter Ichi a second time, trashing Corroder and Mimic. Noah fought on valiantly but never managed to get the upper hand after that. The second game was super close. I think I landed a Utopia Shard+Legwork combo to finish the game just in time. 12 prestige.

Round 5 against Darren (NEH FA with scary stuff / Andromeda)
Darren decided to mulligan for E3 and didn’t get much econ going, so I slowly locked him out of the game with towers of ice. Highlights: Twins-ing a Viktor, then doing it again on the next turn to stop an Account Siphon; and Twins-ing Janus (he had Alias so he “only” had to spend 20 credits), then using Archived Memories to return Janus and threaten doing it again. In the next game my runner got a reasonable set up, but my Maker’s Eyes mostly whiffed and that pretty much sealed my doom. Some last-minute R&D luck couldn’t rescue me since I didn’t manage to steal any agendas before Darren was about to Fast Track the win. 14 prestige.

For the top 8 I ended up as 2nd seed, just behind Jon. Darren and Greg both made it again too!

Round 1 against Clay (NEH Midseason)
I decided to run first so that I could corp more later. This game looked grim when Clay scored 2 Astroscripts, then even grimmer when he gave me 6 tags after my first steal. Luckily, my Utopia Shard nabbed a Scorch from Clay’s hand. A bit later Clay played Celebrity Gift to get up to a dangerous amount of credits; he hid one card and revealed 5 non-agendas. Of course, I immediately ran HQ and pulled the game-winning Beale like a boss.

Round 2 against Darren (Andromeda)
From our previous encounter Darren realized how porous my ice was, so he opened with a blind Account Siphon through my Eli. That momentum netted him 4 early points, but fortunately for me his offense petered out afterward, and I drew Crisium Grid before he could draw another Siphon. I didn’t draw any more agendas for a while, so I was able to slowly build up credits and board position and grind out a win.

At this point, I realized that every other person in the top 8 was playing NEH. Aiyiyi. :weary:

Round 3 against Brian (Calimsha Kate)
This was Brian’s first Netrunner tournament and he did very well, so props to him! Our game was an intricate bluffing match of cat-and-mouse, as I would play cards one-by-one into my porous remote and make Brian spend resources and Lady tokens to check them. The game ended on time with the scores tied at 4-4, so I advanced based on my higher seed. Had there been more time, I suspect Brian might have had the edge at winning.

Brian and Darren were kind enough to let me watch their “final” match since I had already seen both their decks, so I had the pleasure of watching a close Kate vs. NEH game. Well, it was close, until Brian spent a turn playing Clone Chip and SOT, and then Darren immediately scored a Chronos Project off SanSan, conveniently wiping out all of Brian’s sentry breakers. It was a brutal move, and it locked up the bye for Darren!

Finals against Darren (NEH FA with scary stuff)
I’m getting a strange sense of deja vu…

Since the store was closing soon and the bye was going to Darren in any case, we decided to play a single game to determine the fate of the plaque. Darren won the coin flip and chose to corp. He mulliganed a mediocre hand into a flooded one, whereas my Chaos Theory finally got a great draw with lots of money. Darren still managed to score 2 Astros, but that couldn’t save him since R&D luck wasn’t with him either. Sage got me past the Wraparound on HQ, and Utopia+Legwork dealt the killing blow!

Closing remarks:

  • 5 Swiss rounds + top 8 cut is too much for 20 people. Good times were definitely had, but it was certainly another grueling 11 hours…
  • I wasn’t really expecting these decks to work out at all. Now what am I supposed to play next week?
  • Sorry again, Darren. #alwaysthebridesmaid
  • Good luck to everyone who’s doing the store champ in Garden Grove today! Go Jon!

Please do not take my words as a slight, but the fact that this deck, and a fair number of other tournament-winning Leela decklists, are exceedingly similar pleases me greatly (never, ever thought I would hear myself saying such a thing).* While intentional, focused deck innovation is something I value immensely (I was putting in work with Noise at the end of Spin Cycle, what can I say), when a community recognizes that something is a force to be reckoned with, and implicitly acknowledges certain deckbuilding suggestions (by emulating them), I think that’s kinda neat. Note: there is certainly a fine line between this aforementioned acknowledgement and simply net-decking fine-tuned decks out of laziness (not hating, I do my fair share of this), and I readily admit the distinction is actually difficult to make here.

Anyhow, the take-home message is: Leela be ma homegirl, so it’s great seeing her receive the adulation (and success) she is due.

*In point of fact, this specific decklist is, card-for-card, identical to Aaron Andries’s list: Leela Finds a Way MKE Store Champion - 13-1 · NetrunnerDB (I would know, I’ve been playing the ever-loving shit out of it), so acknowledgement may be in order. Not being Mr. Andries, however, I suppose it’s not my place to enforce such a thing.

Here in Belgium, if there’s less than 32 players, we tend to only make a top4 instead of top 8.
It’s pretty silly to force a top8 for 20 people. Almost half the players will be in the final cut.
