lol. tbh I’ve never actually played the game. I just heard the term from somewhere around the internet and thought that name was awesome enough for a SC winning Kim in Halifax.

Someone in my Facebook group mentioned that right after I posted it too.

Nice. As you were describing those decks, I recognized them from Mead Hall. They were good decks and the sub boost on Architect is smart and annoying.

Finally won a Store Championship this season after coming in second at the other two I attended.

The decks are nothing too special, but I’ll also link the 2nd place finisher which ran NEXT Design and Chaos Theory. Also, since I organized the tournament with @hypomodern, I will include some pretty graphs about the tournament.

Based on @Calimsha fantastic build. Only change was 1 more The Maker’s Eye instead of 1 Indexing. I made this change because I expected more glacier/taxing meta where multiple R&D runs in the same turn would be unlikely.

Fairly standard AstroBiotics NEH. Minor changes are 3x Shipment from SanSan and a bit bigger ice with 2x Lotus Field and 1x Tollbooth. This was to score from low credits (0 with Astro token, 5 with Biotic, and 6 with SanSan City Grid) and to keep runner out of central servers and/or defend a rezzed SanSan City Grid for multiple agendas. This worked well against Leela, 2x Edward, Silhouette, and Andy in Swiss and Silhouette (again) and CT in elimination rounds. Undefeated in all games.

5-0 in Swiss
2-0 in Double Elimination

Swiss:

  • Round 1 vs. Leela and Blue Sun: 4 - 0 Round 2 vs. Silhouette
  • Notorious Quester Silhouette (updated with new Lunar tricks) and NEH AstroBiotics: 2 -2 (only runner loss on the day)
  • Round 3 vs. Edward and Blue Sun Grail: 3 - 0 (time runner win against friend and coworker)
  • Round 4 vs. Edward and Tennin: 4 - 0
  • Round 5 vs. Supplier Drip Andy and NEH AstroLight (@hypomodern and I were on top of the ranking and we both knew we made the cut): 4 - 0

Elimination Rounds:

  • Runner vs. HB: EtF (Edit: I guess this is a thing) - I very close win against a deck using Rework, Heinlein Grid (and a bunch of other upgrades), and False Lead. After he scored the False Lead I was worried that he might zero out my credit pool during any run on a server with an upgrade, but he ended up using the False Lead a few turns later to help score an Utopia Fragment. The 3x The Maker’s Eye really helped in this matchup.
  • Corp vs. Silhouette from 2nd round of swiss - I was glad I didn’t have to face his NEH instead. He played it well, but NEH was running really consistent the whole day and knowing the his deck pretty well from the earlier swiss round really helped.
  • Runner vs. NEXT Design Rush/FA - The eventual second place finisher had a very strong deck and was able to pilot it even better. The critical play was using Utopia Shard when he Biotic’d, knocking out the Profiteering that he wanted to score to allow him to have enough credits for another Biotic in the next few turns. He knew he made mistake as soon as I used the shard, but after nearly 9 hours of Netrunner, who can blame him. He still scored out an ABT with the Biotic, so I didn’t think I got anything with the shard, I still checked archives after he fired off the ABT and scored the Profiteering. He was low on credits at that point so I was able to steal the last agenda from R&D without too much resistance.
  • Finals: Corp vs. String Theory - He came back up after defeating @hypomodern in the finals of the lower bracket. It was possibly the closest game against NEH all day. I’ve played String Theory for months, but this was the first time I faced it. I thought I was going to lose seeing the piles of credits he was building up and the massive card draw. Most of his runs were power multi-access run events. It seemed like it came down R&D not giving up too many points and providing the agendas when I needed them. I believe the last turn was seeing Fast Track a card down that I was able to select with DBS to score out the Breaking News with an Astro counter. If I had to wait another turn, it may have meant that I faced his aggressive NEXT Design Corp deck again.

Tournament Charts


A very diverse tournament in general. But, you may notice something interesting. A nearby store’s playgroup decided to come with the same decks and packed The Professor and Custom Biotics. I couldn’t blame them. Most of them already had a top 4 finish already, one won a store championship, and another won two.

The runner wins were pretty evenly split and the Professor held his own.

But on the Corp side, NEH showed it’s strength and won at a vastly disproportionate rate.

Flatlines weren’t very common on this day. But, I may have missed reporting some of them.

Edit: I forgot one of the most important graphs last night:

The Corp vs. Runner wins were about as evenly split as you can get: 52 total Corp wins, 53 total Runner wins, and 1 tie.

Any chance you could obtain the Prof decklist for me? It’s of particular interest, for… academic purposes (I’ve found two T2 builds so far, want to see if this resembles either of them or if the guys found something else).

I quite like the SfSS addition and the bigger ice. Did you find the bigger ice (code gates) to help lock out a runner from a server to be beneficial?

1344

Yeah, definitely. Since I was undefeated on the day with the deck, I can’t expect better. I think if you expect a heavy Anarch meta, this build would serve you well. Last week I faced 3 Noise, 2 Reina with Siphon recursion, and 1 CT and didn’t feel the regular light ice stood up too well. This week, I faced completely different set of runners (only CT in common).

Does well against Criminal as well. Against Shaper with Cyber-Cypher or Torch (and the tricks to get it out without paying 9), Lotus Field is usually not worth installing and Tollbooth is marginal (probably only worth putting on R&D where they will try to run every turn).

In one of the games against Edward, I just had a Lotus Field on HQ and I felt pretty confident that all my operations and agendas were safe for the first half of the game. IIRC, in another game against Criminal or Edward, I had a Tollbooth in front of a SanSan City Grid that allowed me to score 2-3 agendas. I didn’t save any SfSS’s and felt that it allowed me to have enough credits to either rez ice or be able to play a Hedge Fund the same turn I drew it. It seems like a small gain, but SfSS protected against giving the runner a window to ransack my servers after scoring with non-Astro FA tricks.

1345

I agree on Torch, but you can cause problems for cyber-cypher decks by spamming out code-gate servers. and sticking unadvanced cards into them. Do they spend their precious clone chips/SMCs to put the cypher on a server only to hit a PAD campaign? If so you create another code gate server and put another unadvanced card in it and this time it might be an Astro/SanSan.

So, I’ve played in seven Store Champs in So Cal. I took 2nd in three of them, 3rd once, and 4th once. I dropped before the cut in the one I was judging, and split 5/5 with random O&C jank the day after it came out.

I see your point, but it still seems like a marginal play against Shaper. If I was playing like 3x Quandary and 2x Enigma, this would be a fine strategy against Shaper, but it’s hard to justify pay 5 for Lotus Field to bluff them out of one of their tricks. If you try it more than once with Lotus Fields on remotes, they’ll probably just get Atman at 4.

It’s definitely a line of play to keep in mind against Shaper, but it seems like a lot of things have to line up for you: having 1-2 Quandary not used on centrals, 1-2 Lotus Field, several assets/SanSan and an agenda to make your bluff play. I think most of time against Shaper you’re trying to race them or drawing to get out of an R&D lock or getting the credits to fast advance you’re next agenda.

But, a valid point and good line of play to point out, so I updated my post.

1348

It’s true that I’ve been playing a lot of Foundry recently, and it’s a play that Foundry excels at (there has to be something, right?). NEH’s ability obviously doesn’t set it up as well.

Cards legal up to Order and Chaos

We’re trying a new league format with a leftover winter kit from a few months ago, running a short Swiss tournament every other Tuesday night for four events, culminating with an 8-player double-elimination tournament with all the winners and runner-ups from the prior events. Surprisingly to me (due to it being a weeknight tournament), we broke 10 players last night, so the lists get published! Conveniently for me, I went undefeated with both decks and won last night. :smile: So, here’s my latest NEH Scorch and Atman Noise builds…

How do you play that Corp when your opponent knows what you’re up to? I tried out a Midseasons Scorch deck the other day and found that while I could surprise people, if someone sniffed out the trick and stayed ahead on money, it became very hard to win.

That’s why I love SanSan City Grid and Daily Business Show in NEH Scorch, and used to run Fast Track here as well. Typically, someone sees Data Raven, Scorch, or Traffic Accident, and they begin playing very conservatively while pumping Kati and staying ahead on credits. That usually leaves wide open windows to kick the AstroTrain into high gear and start scoring out. Eventually the Runner must start coming after your assets (often bringing them back into Midseason range) or you get the agenda points win.

That said, last night it was (for once) a decent meta call. Nobody expected it, nobody saw Scorch or Traffic Accident in HQ/R&D, and I won by turn six via a surprise flatline in every game.

I find the trick is to give them must run stuff, with taxers on the way. Even a tollbooth over a melange works. I’ve slotted private contracts and melange and been fine keeping up on cash until sansan showed up.

No, Flare? WTF? :stuck_out_tongue:

Congrats and nice league.

I ran a similar list, but made it look like AstroBiotics (1x Biotic, 2x Scorch, 2x Traffic Accident, no Data Raven) in the first 2 Store Championships. Only lost twice and came in 2nd both times. IIRC, only had Plascrete installed once, but I did hit a few I Had Worse, which cost me one game. Other times, I just ended up losing a Traffic Accident, but they were still tagged from Midseason, so I just had to wait for more flatline cards. I was worried that people would wise up, so in the 3rd SC I just went with AstroBiotics.
