Man, after grinding decks all day... I think I'm even more uncertain to what I want to play Friday now?
Having fun with Titan FA, but occasionally there's games where the wheels just fall off and you feel terrible.
Jemison is batshit insane and hilarious, but see above in regards to wheels falling off, but even harder.
Part of me wants to just play a kill deck instead?

Huh, that was a interesting deck I just played against. Kate with a Yog packing a Dedicated Processor and a bunch of Egrets to make everything code gates.
And a bunch of Rigged Results. Which did a surprising amount of work.
EDIT: Next year, when Leela rotates, will be a happy day.
i always loved the ice and icebreaker game, but wouldn't a deck like this struggle mightily with asset spam?

Agree to disagree. I honestly don't think I can even consider playing the game without her, which will mark making it officially dead to me instead of simply a game I'm not currently playing. :P

I want to cram Cerebral Statics in my deck just to tell her ability to fuck all the way off. Why is it two influence when Employee Strike is only one?

Leela is a strong ID but nowhere near unfair to play against. She changes your style of play, forcing you to consider ice placement more than you would normally, but that's good, and exactly what I want out of an ID. Oh, I'm playing against this ID, so I need to do that instead of this.
I haven't played in a while but have been keeping an eye on the meta and waiting to see what happens with rotation. Will make me super sad to see Leela rotate out though, she is one of my favorite runner IDs.
I think I would be more okay with her if she only triggered off scoring and not stealing. Triggering on steals feels way too much "win more," where she gets to continue dismantling your defenses that you didn't get to rez anyway because of Crim bullshit.
And it feels WAY worse when she's doing it to ICE you had to advance to make non-garbage, because it's your only non-garbage ICE and you lose all that time and credits you invested in it and whoops now you got siphoned so you're REALLY not rezzing now get fucked for not playing asset spam.
...sorry, I've had bad experiences.

What I really like about her ability is that it's limited in how often it does anything, and the timing of it is extremely important as to how useful it can be.
It can be win more when triggering on steals, but shouldn't your own ID ability reward you for making good plays? and then it's also extremely relevant to corp decisions- I've been people IAA 4/2s before just so they could install any ice you bounce right after.
It's a fascinating ability to interact with which is why I like it a lot.
but yea, playing advanceable ice vs her does suck because advanceable ice are already kinda hit or miss, she just makes that more pronounced.
On a more positive note, Emergency Shutdown has been working to get a database of the original Netrunner cards up. The Webminster Project. If you've never gone through them, it's kind of fun to go through and see what old cards have been reprinted and changed into new forms.
EDIT: Also, Crimson Dust officially has a release date of tomorrow.

Argh, I want to play that Skorpios deck now for Friday, but I didn't bring my collection with me to GC. Just my decks, and a copy of Subcontract I'm debating about sticking in.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU! - Switch Friend Code SW-5465-2458-5696 - Twitch
Shout if you want some runner decks, some of them don't have game against moon or whatever, but they are balanced otherwise. Happy to share. If anyone ever wants decks always just say.
So Aus nationals are next weekend but I really haven't got time to grind out practice between now and then since I'm spending four days away for a funeral right before!
So I think I'm gonna take my au rev Andy for some goofy fun since the new turtle AI will be legal! I was going to take an update hydra but I fear too many people will be expecting it!
Round 1: ETF/Haley. Ended up getting four agenda points out of R&D but ended up going broke due to not seeing any economy past this point and they scored out.
Ended up having the set-up to score GT, but I put GT down in my scoring remote to try to bluff Clot. They actually couldn't recur Clot again, but was able to get in via Faust, and I didn't see any Hortums to block it. If I held it in HQ and just Biotic'd probably could've got it.
Woo, auspicious start. 0-1 with both decks.

oh look all my agendas are on the bottom of my deck. Didn't draw onto GT until the end of the game, and if they didn't pull 7 points out of R&D that last turn I would've scored it.
Versus CTM, it was a draw due to time. I held a 10 Minutes on my Film Critic and on the last turn I pulled it into my score pile to tie him at 0 points. (I had accessed a News Team earlier.)

I think people are just waiting on some news and rotation.
Round 3: HAARP/Sunny
*airhorns*
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
TAKEOVER SCORED
And then I actually got something like nine cards in my score pile due to News Teams, and eventually scored out. Hooray for having multiple Critics and holding the Minutes in there again so the Corp can't take it back.
So Runner 1-1-1, Corp 1-2
Round 4: ETF/Kate
Didn't draw my Clot and he FA'd and won. Was very money starved since I didn't see my money until after my PPVP's were out, and then I saw none.
(Even if I forgot that I HAD seen my Clot and it was in the discard pile and I had a Clone Chip. Whoops.)
VS Kate: They stole GT when I had a lot of credits and they didn't have any.
Punitive trace for 20? LOL 6 meat.

I was at 4 points, pulled a two-point agenda out of HQ on click one, got into R&D, and then Archives and then BWA BWA BWA, putting me at 2-2-1.
Corping, I got flooded early and had GT and Cleaners in my opening hand. Was dumb and only Jackson-shuffled the Cleaners alway. Should've done both. Actually drew my Chronos Project later and then I got Legworked, they stole both so they got 7 points in one turn. (The top card of my deck was Punitive.) So corp went 2-3.

Man, I forgot just how rock solid the core of this game is, running on face down cards is just fun.
Choose Your Own Chat 1 Choose Your Own Chat 2 Choose Your Own Chat 3
People bitch about the core cards never rotating but it feels good that I can always come back to those cards if I choose to end my hiatus.
