Punitive Azmari

I started playing netrunner earlier this year and really struggled to find a corp deck that I liked. I finally tried playing Azmari glacier, and found out I really like the glacier playstyle. I ran into an issue when preparing for the Ohio Circuit Opener though, where playing pure glacier in timed rounds felt really difficult. So I played around with trying to make the deck faster, but it didn't really feel like the same deck anymore. So I decided to try adding Punitive Counterstrike as a second plan and it worked out!

My personal way of playing the deck is to not treat scoring out or Punitive as a "backup" plan. Depending on the matchup and the board state determines which gameplan you should be pivoting to. The scoring gameplan is to get a single 5/3 scored, and then use echo chamber to break the tie before time. If the runner sets up faster than you, then punitive is a good plan. Try to focus on keeping up money on the runner.

I wasn't sure what to expect for my first tournament. I was worried my corp deck wouldn't do very well, but it did fantastic! It didn't lose a game at the CO and I'm very happy with how the games turned out. My runner deck didn't do as well, but I think that was due to a bad meta call (teched into asset spam but played into a lot of PD)
