The name of Dan D'Argenio's 2015 card is pretty fuckin' funny, in retrospect.

Athenor · September 2018

We're a week out from Worlds, and I haven't sat down and built my decks yet. I am kinda resigned to losing, but I want to at least be competitive for my opponents. Yet at the same time, I just.. don't know how to tackle this problem.

All I know is I want to play Crim/Weyland, to honor my roots. Either Leela or Gabriel. But beyond that.. I haven't followed the game closely in -years-, and I'm just going to have fun.. But.. ugh.

tzeentchling · September 2018

I mean, I can give you a Titan deck that'll probably wreck anyone not on Clot (and has some outs against that too, though it's harder for sure). Crim is in a tricky place right now, 419 and Liza are probably the most common. There's a 419 Apocalypse deck out there though (@Cerberus) that could potentially be transplanted into Leela, though you lose the Aumakua-expose synergy and some information, with the benefit that your apoc turns are probably slightly easier.

Dis' · September 2018

I wouldn't recommend the 419 apoc deck for lapsed players? Seemed quite a tricky one to play. Basic good stuff criminal can still work out of Leela I think see this deck:

There's a lot of pretty robust Argus/Outfit decks from the German/Nordic nationals (i.e. with the MWL current for worlds) that might be good. Modern Titan is a very different beastie from weyland of old.

I haven't played with any Kitara cards or R&R cards, save for maybe a couple swaps in those last two decks.

On the criminal side, I did best when I just stopped caring about the corp. Run hard, run fast, maximize tempo and hit as hard as I can. I loved having so much money that the corp just couldn't outspend me. I didn't go full-on tag me, but I definitely was known to run on click 4 a lot more than someone should.

On the corp side? Similar idea - One or two honeypot servers, blind bluffs, anything involving GRNDL Refineries, Snares, Cerebral overwriter, that kind of thing. I never liked Scorched Earth, but I would seem to threaten it. I also like playing with Weyland's advance-able ice and glaciers.

If I can find decks that play like that, and won't just be blown out, then I think I'll have a good time.

Athenor · September 2018

Wait.

Could my Fisk deck still be viable? I built it earlier this year, so again, no newer stuff. But it appears to be completely legal at the moment. It may not be optimized... but.. possibly??

Edit: Okay, went ahead and workshopped this with my fellow players. I'll see how it plays tomorrow. Still need a corp deck.

Dis' · September 2018

Fisk is certainly a bold choice - corps have sufficiently efficient tools now that they generally benefit from the draw rather than getting flooded by it (fisking SPORTSMETAL sounds like a bad time, and there was an agenda filtering card for each faction in Reign and Reverie), but it could be hilarious fun as well

!

I would say that SYN attack giving the corp a choice makes it a real bad card even for the theme of maximum fisk, and you'd be better served with the 3rd Bankroll or 2nd Turtle.

Yeah, the Syn attack putting the choice in the hand of the corp seemed like a bad idea. I'd probably go for a 2nd turtle, as I tend to get real scared of losing my breakers.

But I know that earlier iterations of this deck applied a ton of pressure to the corp. And I think it'll be fun without being a negative play experience. I mean, a crim mill deck just sounds wild!

Yeah. The L5R support's been ramping up, but nothing like this. It makes me kinda regret playing a gimmick deck.

psyck0 · September 2018

Holy Christ those prizes are something else!

Athenor · September 2018

Okay, one more deck I found online today that I keep staring at and wondering if it will work.

http://www.netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/52366/dying-for-the-city

From the description, it sounds like you basically have all the money in the world, and score these giant agendas as your primary win condition- and punish if they steal them. I'm not sure if this is a viable deck or not, but it sure as hell looks fun. I would likely tweak it to my playstyle.... but I love the idea of just having EVERY transaction out there available.

Thoughts/feedback? I'd throw in at least a couple assets - likely a snare or two, my standby of Grndl (though I don't think I'll need the money and usually grndls are advancement soaks for me)... maybe a boom to take advantage of the tags Surveyor / Mausolus / Prisec can dish out?

It's possible that its a joke/theme deck, knails is wont to do such things (though they are a pretty good player). So it might be a bit risky, Boom vs High Profile target is a playstyle thing - if your relying on passive tags the fact that HPT can wait in your hand untrashable is pretty good over boom.

Athenor · September 2018

That's what I am scared of - that this is a joke deck and I just can't tell. I really like the idea of making all the money and just threatening to unleash hell, but the ice density is so thin and the agendas so big to accomplish that...

@Athenor I spoke to knails and they said the deck was more than a meme but their refinement of the deck looks like this list. They did say it was confirmed fun which sounds good. Rashida helps with drawing enough ice apparently.

Nice.

I've been workshopping with my friends and one basically turned it into a HHN/HPT deck with a focus on surveyor... it seems to stray quite far from the concept. When I played knails' deck last night, I just could not get enough credits.

I've been playing a lot of runner this morning, getting my ass kicked. I really don't know how to handle HHN and still be an agressive crim.

On the other hand? I never liked playing scorched earth decks. That's why Knails' deck appealed to me - something different.

Dis' · September 2018

I'm not sure the knails deck is meant to be that rich - seems more like you'll constantly be jamming stuff in the remote and making them waste money getting in, with City Works/Dedication ceremony as the closer. One of those blockchain on R&D, nothing on HQ, big old ice stack on the remote way of playing things.

This makes sense. As long as I don't draw 4 agendas in the first two turns!

My Fisk deck has been reworked into a leela deck with rebirth. Goal now is to flood HQ and pick from it. But knowing when to turn on the gas and avoid hhn is just... Ugh.

There’s images of it floating around.
The starting side has you draw a opening hand of 10 cards, and before your first turn you can install up to five cards and Rez any number of them, lowering the total Rez cost among them by 20. And then flip.

The flip side forces the runner to lose 1c per agenda in their score area the first time they initiate a run each turn, and you gain 1c per credit lost.

And it also has a click: gain 3c or draw 3 cards.

40 min deck size/infinite influence.

Interestingly, the worlds cards have out of sequence numbers to them...

Athenor · September 2018

The day 1b card is shaping up scary. It's currently an upgrade that says in order to run this server, the runner must trash an agenda. The final vote is going to be whether this can be negated by a run on HQ or if it can be negated by running with 2 or fewer cards in the grip. Both versions are 1 influence, limit 1 per deck, but the HQ one is cheaper and the 2 cards one has a higher trash cost (of 4).

Very nice!

One of my carmates did make it to like 20th or something, the other missed the 32 cut, so at least 1 of those mats is going to Chicago.

On the way back home, we listened to the final few matches. HOLY HELL. Scoring a 7-point Beale to win...

Nah they were definately playtested by the normal playtest groups (quite a lot of playtesters are now chatting about stuff since the NDA doesn't mean anything with the game ending at FFG).

My preorder from FFG showed up! In a super crushed package! Containing a crushed Reign and Reverie box! But the cards are somehow totally fine!

Under any other circumstance I'd complain to FFG or the shipping company, but I feel blessed to get these at all, haha.
