No, Nova is not the worst runner identity, you're probably just bad at playing Nova.
This is the Nova list I took to an 8th place finish at Aldershot Regionals. [REDACTED SMURF] played a near identical list to a 29% win rate on jnet, although I think they played an Ashen Epilogue like a coward
In terms of playing, it's like 40 cards different from the list Sokka took to a high finish at Worlds last year. It's very good. You just sort of play tempo control with Diversion and Swift, and use your strong tech cards (Miss Bones, Stoneship) to dodge matchups where they try and do weird shit. Tired of losing to your local PD player? beat them to death with Nova.
I've been playing this personally as well and been having good success on it. I played a single game on my main jnet account and went undefeated with it. Good deck good.
(Shoutout rubenpieters for the idea to shamelessly parody Whiteblade's "Yall Just Suck at Crim" writeup after I remarked that my Nova functions like a bad crim deck)
(maybe I should have been less worried about sticking to minimum deck size... feels overrated 😉)

"(maybe I should have been less worried about sticking to minimum deck size... feels overrated 😉)" 100000% fam. Get couple more cards in there and we have a certified classic on our hands |
I don't know if it's more impressive that you actually played (Runner) and performed well or that you didn't play Ob xD
Great work!
