[Idenity Crisi] Blueberry Ari

This is (not 100%) the runner deck I brought to the German Nationals team tournament for idenity crisis. In hinsight, the list needs some tuning to contest the very fast corps the format enables. I feel vindicated by seeing better players try this same archetype and doing well, but I failed to translate it into much. Rushy and ice reliant decks can have issues with the pressure we dish out, while asset decks laugh at our complete over-teching into ice based matchups. Such is the life of a criminal grafitti artist. (To TaiB who seemingly read the meta and in an act of 4d chess over-hedged on Barriers: Wow, rude, try and have fun for once. - Enjoy the water bottles <3)

While testing I found that Spree is just really very funny in this deck, but even more hedging on an ice matchup, whereas Simulchip allows us to do the same funny plays while protecting against rude corps.


I would like to take this writeup to thank everyone that made German Nationals possible, especially girometics who took on most of the burden and delivered a stellar 3 days of Netrunner. Tradon who as I understand helped Phi tremendously. Ataraxis and Luthien both kept the ship sailing at HQ. Watzlav (who hates identity crisis), Angel and Cmur2 for judging throughout the event. [object object] for the amazing stream. Monde, Wiki and Jai for casting Saturday. All the casters for Sunday, especially Aksu who enabled me to cast a bit myself and get Watzlav to do some casting with me. And all the players who were amazing the entire weekend.

Being effectively Head Judge was quite daunting to be honest. I am usually quite shy and prefer to not be in the center of attention, neither is it easy for me to be steadfast or strict with people. But Angel and Phi both were of great help.
Saturday morning seeing all the famillar faces have fun, enjoying what I enjoy, made me so happy to be part of it. Thanks for all of it. And thanks for trusting me.

Play some Identity Crisis y'all!

I don't hate identity crisis; identity crisis hates me.
