hi so um a deck I made because of finding “Pretty” Mary da Silva really pretty turns out to be quite good, here are some accolades for the deck:
(* please note that people bought slightly different versions of the deck)
I am as bewildered as you are.
Thank you for tuning into the meme.
We put lots of girls in a deck and they work well together. More seriously, this deck offers an ultimatum: if you give us access to R&D then we get a lot of accesses through Akiko Nisei: Head Case, “Pretty” Mary da Silva, Trick Shot and so on. If you overcommit to R&D, we can get our accesses elsewhere through Cupellation, Burner, Eru Ayase-Pessoa and a solid breaker suite for remotes supported by Pinhole Threading. Finally, Physarum Entangler and the significant amount of recursion for it allows you to commit to a server pretty easily, and then sell it when you need to change server.
We also run a transient rig, supported by Aesop’s Pawnshop, meaning that we can always sell components that don't work out. This leads to a fairly common Shaper toolbox alongside the pressure package above: Muse is a lovely tutor, particularly when we run trojans, Coalescence is a trivial include in an Aesop's deck, and Environmental Testing means we can get a big payout for doing what we want to anyway.
I wrote a long strategy guide for QEH internally which has a bunch of play advice, which is now available publicly. It was for a slightly older version of the deck (to be precise, the version run at Bristol Regionals) but that's okay. I hope you enjoy it!
Because gender is complicated, and girls come in all different shapes and sizes. Feminism says something about this, I think. (Editor's Note: Phoebe does not study feminist theory.)
More seriously, here are some common points of discussion regarding card choices that different players have provided different answers to.
It takes a lot of people to build a girls. Plato said this, I think. (Editor's Note: We asked Plato, our Blahaj. He said yes.)
More seriously, it has been absolutely wild seeing people take my deck and refine it with me to create what feels like a genuine contender. The last few months have been incredibly special for me despite the stresses of work (thanks, PhD thesis...) - becoming visible in the community through high-level judging and some actual good deckbuilding has boosted my confidence no end. To list people in particular:
girls wins

"we can wait for her" yeah we can wait 7-11 days for my girlsops alt arts to arrive :p for real though. it's been wonderful getting to see this deck change and grow over the past months, and see it find exactly what kind of deck it wants to be and watch it achieve exactly that. netrunner is a game about being your deck. looking forward to your akiko cosplay at nats <3 |

I was so happy to Matrix dodge this matchup at the Nottingham Regionals. Congratulations on building a really cool successful deck and it was lovely meeting you! |

I continue to not only cackle about the meme but also about Akiko popping up as a dark horse with such a sick deck and rad results. <3 <3 Bee |

This decklist is fantastic! It’s clear that a lot of thought went into crafting such a balanced and strategic setup. Each card seems to perfectly complement the others, creating a cohesive strategy that’s both exciting and effective. It reminds me of the strategic depth in retro) bowl—where every decision can make or break your game. I’d love to see how this deck performs in action! |

Super fun to see an Akiko deck doing well :D I was not expecting that ever! Could this be one of those cases Beatriz makes sense? After all she is a girl and has synergy with the ID and pretty :D Also, shoutout to women! I guess they are pretty cool. |

What started as a fun, creative project unexpectedly turned into something quite powerful in geometry) dash razorleaf gameplay. |

This deck can make me even more trans? Holly molly, I'm not gonna play another runner ever |
girls wins!
But seriously I do not think I can possibly thank you enough, for everything you are and continue to be to me, but also on a less sappy for the most fun runner deck I've ever played. girls just clocks with my brain in a way only toolboxy shapers can. Maybe it's the homosexuality :p
