Rigshooter Prav - Worlds 2022

As seen in the NSG stream for R2 of Worlds 2022 Standard Swiss. Modified from Drago Rig Knockout from @Limes.

Game plan

Go for a lockdown through any combination of:

• Ping to Keegan Lane for breakers. All within 1 Corp action window so they can't remove the tag before Keegan does.
• Drago or Tomorrow's Headline to Retribution for breakers, boats, and everything in between
• Runner just eating the Ballista subroutine
• Ark Lockdown to deal with breaker recursion

Notable achievements over 2 days of Worlds (Standard Swiss and KOS):

• Boats sunk: 4
• Boats bounced: 1 (right before being hit by an Apocalypse)
• Stargates killed mid-Stargate run: 2

Performance

Did it perform well in Worlds? Not really, I never had a situation where I blown out, but the deck didn't fit well with both the Runner meta and the tech to deal with other Corp meta decks.

Just like the original deck, also had to deal with not having strong econ options to deal with all the expensive ICE this deck uses.

Other notes:

• Jua: In practice, a great choice for dealing with early aggression, and led to a few "Take 3 creds, go" turns from the runner. Not as great when they're going for a Deep Dive.
• Mestnichestvo: Great card to have, but usually didn't get it in the first few turns to make the best use of Prav triggers. Bit too expensive too, especially with all the Boats in the meta.
• Best Defense: 1 copy was initially in the list, but I removed it after King of Servers since I wasn't finding any 0 cost targets that day. In Standard Swiss, I realized I had to deal with No Free Lunch before I can Retribution their breakers.
• Ballista: Having an alternative ETR function helps to reduce how many breakers I need to remove for a lockout. Still very expensive

Closing

This was my 1st Worlds, and I'm glad I was able to go, especially after 2 years of not playing Netrunner. Thanks to NSG for keeping the game alive and managing the event, and to everyone I met and played over the weekend.
