Deck valid after Fifth Rotation |
I didn't expect this deck to do this well, but I feel like I learned a lot through the lower bracket run in the top cut. Every game I played I got better with ice placements and became more aware of how I could lose in a higher pressure situation with open decklists. I'm still amazed I managed to win in a variety of ways, ranging from the Regenesis from board + double Big Deal to the full 7 from the board, with a bunch of other scoring patterns in between. That said, I feel like the habit of including somewhat unexpected 5inf cards in other factions still runs strong in my veins and I should talk a bit about why I think the deck works and why it's cool.
All these points (with a couple more observations) are what helped the deck reach a record of 6-1 plus an ID, losing only to Darta's Hoshipko in the very first round of the top cut on time, but getting revenge against him in the second game of the grand finals. I feel like the deck went through extra tight and longer games than I would've preferred but that's just #AgInfusionThings. I also somehow managed to face Boat Anarchs 5 games out of 7, which isn't ideal for the ID ability due to Hippo, but great for the 10 sentries in the deck. I got lucky a couple times over the two days of tournament, but Darta himself always says that you don't win them with strokes of back luck.
It was great seeing a couple new faces and I hope the community can keep growing with time. Huge thanks to everyone involved and all my friends as always, pretty much every game was very tight and very very fun. Here's the runner I played. You can watch the tournament's games here, though some of them are split in two due to some technical difficulties.

Big Deal AGinfusion was the innovation this meta needed. You're a hero koga, best Netrunner bday present ever.
