James Bristol (2nd & 3rd at SW Regionals)

This is the list that Aashbo and I took to Bristol Regionals and is basically Kikai's list from EMEA

I had dismissed this list before EMEA because I was in my Crim doomer arc, turns out all you needed was to reinvent deck building for the faction.

Is this the most fun runner deck? Yes.

Is this deck actually competitive though? Unequivocally yes!

Changes

Boomerang is the best Netrunner card (as proven by science) so I wanted to play a second copy, especially into fast corps like PD, Ob and Azmari. Revolver was also a weak spot for the deck against Jinteki.

Cutting the third revolver for a boomerang felt natural and at that point you want a more permanent solution to sentries as you have less recursion.

I tested these changes only a couple times into each of the matchups I expected and it felt good. Aashbo and I agreed these changes were positive for the whole day.

Regionals

Aashbo went 4-1 with the deck, only dropping a game to my RH in the cut.

I went 4-2 with the deck, dying to an unsatisfying punitive flatline in round 1 (my fault) and then losing to Azmari in the finals in a really close game.

Thank you so much to Baa Ram Wu, sixtyten and Nicky3.0 for putting on a wonderful, sold out tournament.

See you all in Nottingham!
