Regenesis is life (2nd @Würzburg Disctrict 25-03-08)

Introduction
Hey fellow CEOs and Runners Force9 here. Old School FFG Netrunner dude, abandoned the game 2016 with the release of Mumbad Cycle and now back to raise hell in NSG Netrunner!

I am a Weyland Fanboy and yet my guts told me to play this list at the District Champs in Würzburg. The reason is simple i am also a big fan of Regenesis and what better way to win the playmat (that was the whole goal for this tournament) then with a Regenesis Combo deck. Click here for the runner deck

Also a big part of deckbuilding for me is to associate music to the decks i play. So everytime i play the deck the rhythm is in my head and i am mentaly in the right place to pilot the deck. For this deck there are two distinct tracks that played in my mind: https://tinyurl.com/s4pkajmy and https://tinyurl.com/3jkhj9ax :D

The Deck Card Choices
The key premise of the deck is simple yet dangerous. Get Fujii Asset Retrieval into your archives by any means necessary (best case scenario is by using the first effect of your Cohort Guidance Program), score Regenesis and make 4points at once.

But like i said this is the best case scenario, this only worked once in the whole tournament but more of that later! In reality you can also win by just letting the Fujis stay inside the archive and when the runner steals them he dies. The only real "surprising" card choice is Hammer i guess. I anticipated that alot of ppl whould like to give Aumakua the last ride into the sunset and i was right. Its still not a 100% removal for our beloved turtle but even if i dont get rid of the turtle i hit other important key hardware / resources.

Retrospectively i would switch out Wage Workers for Seamless Launch simply because i often ended up setting up 3-4 remotes without any ice and ppl had their fair share of respect against PE facechecking everything.

The Tournament
Round One vs. KingHereAfter with HB Precision Design against my Runner

The Game was quite interesting since nowadays there arent that much HB decks out there without any form of Core Damage. So i knew i couldnt play recklessly with my core damage because of Ontological Dependence . So i had to carefully play around it and just do my sabotage thing without going into overdrive mode every turn. In the end i picked up the win simply because he didnt find any of them before i finished sabotaging him into the ground. Time was on my sidein this match, simple and honest.

Round Two vs. Lutheus with Nyusha "Sable" Sintashta: Symphonic Prodigy

I do love the Mark mechanic and i played Sable quite often the last few weeks. My hope was that she would take as much advantage of her printed recursion abilty and that i can lure her into some traps. After some back and forth stealing / scoring she slipped for one moment and ran heads first into one Fujii Asset Retrieval and Blood in the Water which waited there in my archive. Sadly she had only three cards in hand and thus ended up in a very fashionable black bag. (Or maybe as food for the Mammoths <3)

Round Three vs. KNT_HLZ with HB ASA Grp against my Runner

Another one of those HB Matchups were in anticipated heavy Core Damage output and Onto Agendas. At least thats what i thought since the most recent builds ppl play with Asa are Salvo Testing builds. But he didnt do anything like that! But what most Asa builds have in common are the dependency of Cohort Guidance Program so i trashed him one very early. I also got lucky with some random RnD runs and scored one Ikawah Project. In the end i sabotaged enough the win the game with 6 core damage on me.

Round Four vs. Zaphod75 with Lat: Ethical Freelancer

I confess ive never seen this runner before! Yes i do have him, somewhere in my sorted collection, but damn he is boring as hell. (my oppinion) But Zaphod75 had a really good build but boy what happened in this match will never happen again. Turn 1 and 2 i set up some remotes and he also got his fair share of respect checking all of them. He ended up trashing one Cohort on Turn 1, on turn 2 i installed one Regenesis and discarded one Fuji. Turn 3 i pulled of the combo for the first time on that day scoring four points. I did the same on Turn 5 with a Cohort in play and the game was over after i think like 5-7minutes.
I still feel sorry Zaphod :( <3 but neither of us made any mistakes and the deck did what it was build around :D

Round Five and Six vs. Virulentz with his build for Hoshiko in Round Five and his choice of Azmari EdTech: Shaping the Future

Oh Boy, the Game in round five happened to go into overtime. I guess it was 5points stolen from him against 4points scored by me. So i had to make at least one point in my last turn but i didnt manage to do so. Over the course of the match we exchanged "blows" to vital key cards in our decks. I was never close enough to finish him off with damage thus this game was very intense until the last moment.

The Game in round six was also super tight. Ive never played against Azmari so my initial thought was that he wants to fast advance his stuff. But it turned out that he was more of a Body Bag type of deck. :D He scored an early Project Beale for three points, after i stole his Tomorrowʼs Headline on my first or second turn. I wisely removed the short amount of tags i gathered through the game until my last turn. He was at 5points and i was at 5points and than after sabotaging enough cards allready i turned on Overdrive Mode or better known as Running Hot.

I wrecked myself through his remotes, his HQ to find the last two points and accumulated four tags while doing so. In the end i found nothing and died to End of the Line which made me happy. Killed by Weyland doing Weyland things. Fun Fact the top card of RnD was an Operation i couldnt remove, second card was the agenda i needed to win :D

Overall i am super happy with the outcome of the tournament. I made the right choices in all of my games, even the ones i lost. I anticipated the right cards i teched against and i won the Playmat. ^_^
Thanks to everyone in the tournament for making this my first netrunner tournament since 2016 and WE THE COMMUNITY STILL ROCKIN!!!
