OG Angry Val

Posting for record.

Dodgeong, Heartthrob, AkAnderson, and anyone else who did will with the apoc list. Those guys help make this list pretty fierce.

As of the current meta - recurring Hostile infrastructure is putting this deck on hold. If not, I'd be going strong with it. Still have a love for this deck.

Shoutout to my main testing partner Shmeguy

11/26/15 - WIN - Jinteki.net - gustini - NEH Butcher variant: siphon early and float all tags. Got to 6 points fast. TA missed IHW and he scorch for the win. Needs utopia or plascrete.

11/26/15 - WIN - Jinteki.net - Simone 'suka' - HB Food: stop early siphon w/Turing. Early Yog got siphon in. started locking me out. Dug for apoc. check remotes while digging... opponent will sneak. Hit apoc. later won off recurring blackmail several times. Didn't respect the blackmail.

11/27/15 - WIN - Jinteki.net - Rosencrantz - HB Food: got to 6 points within 3 turns cause he left rnd open. He recovered nicely with Sexbots. Dug so hard for APOC throwing all goodies away. won a psi on RND that sealed the game. After that pulled mimic with deja and checked through architect on hq for GFI to win.

11/27/15 - WIN - Jinteki.net - LordSpoon - HB variant: Testament that you don't need any cards to win the game... Just apoc. has swordsman and turing on hq. toll and swords on rnd. fire abt to get lots of ice on remote. slowly knife down centrals. he IAA for win. glory run rnd, archives, hq had eli, then surprised heimdall 1.0 - only 2 cards in hand and 2 david counters. His brain miss apoc. I let swords fire to kill eater. mimic stop net damage. APOC. had 4 points already. run rnd - spiderweb. run archives to pop his jack he barely put down. run rnd to see winning agenda (project wotan).

Thinking about including lamprey as a headlock control. I think it would be very good. Also changing vigil to Turntable... -2 Vigil +2 TT.

Need to revamp this deck to match Post MWL. Also realized this deck has evolved a lot on Jinteki. Changes need to be made to deal with RP.

-1 siphon -2 day job - 2 dirty laundry -1 retrieval run -1 ddos -1 earthrise hotel -1 mimic -1 yog

+1 levy + 2 queen's gambit +1 Plascrete + 3 liberated accounts + 3 street peddler

1/3/16 - WIN - Jinteki.net - ElderMason - RP Post MWL - Played against Mason Hanssporting RP. He wont the ANRPC in Tulsa at the Team covenant store. Destroyed him because he didn't know it was siphon deck.

1/3/16 - - WIN - Jinteki.net - ElderMason - RP Post MWL - Wanted a second go. He played a much tighter game. Pulled out everything... Nisei, Crisium... Manage to do a cool play where he rez caprice on hq, then i blackmail remote and force caprice on remote. I then hit an apocalypse. He got more setup and I was getting money back. it came down to a weird play where he was on 2 points and I was on 5 and he had a double advance in a remote. I keyhole philotic and we played a weird game where he nisei my blackmail to get it. He gets GFI so game is tied. I'm digging for david (last card in deck, found out later). He double advance in remote. So I draw draw... nothing. blackmail and let crick fire. He put philotic in remote and we play psi for future perfect. I lose psi game and assume it's over. Run on remote and it's komainu. So i don't break with eater and we play another psi with caprice and philotic in remote. I win psi bet 2-2.

1/3/16 - WIN - Jinteki.net - Chaos Walker - Gagarin - Won pretty handily. Blackmail and DDos crap.

1/3/16 - LOSS - Jinteki.net - Chaos Walker - SYNC - Threw away my placrete before checking influence. went tag me and lost to scorch. Was stealing all the agendas pretty easily though. Need to throw down placrete and respect kill threat. That's why I included the dumb card.

1/3/16 - 3 WINS - Jinteki.net- Elmon (JackWayland) - 2 Titan, 1 RP - welcome to the power of New Age Anatomy of Anarchy, Elmon. 2 apocalypse on RP is fun haha

1/18/2016 - Win - Jinteki.net - Scott - PE - siphon and keyhole... Sorry PE 1/22/2016 - Win - Jinteki.net - David - Medtech - siphon and keyhole... Sorry Medtech 1/25/2016 - Win - Jinteki.net - Jon - IG - This game was rough. Early Hostile infrastructures had my keyhole sad. Not to mention Sealed Vault and Diversified portfolio bounces you back. i think I won this game with no cards left in deck. I decked him. This game took forever. I'm writing this on 2/5/2016 so I don't quite remember what happened. All I know is I was keyholing while he had a Hostile Infrastructure up (he had 3 this game) and I managed to have just enough cards in hand to Mill him out.

I figured I'd give a shoutout to my Hackaholics group. Most of them are in Utah and Idaho. Except for David is all the way in Dubai... weird. These players are my go to test players. Cream of the Crop. I've worked on this list alot with Spence (@Heartthrob), Austen (@AKAnderson), and Sam O. (Elthane). That group of games above with Scott/David/Jon was part of a mini J.net practice tournament for MWL. We had 3 series/tournaments each with 3 rounds. We picked IDs we wanted to test for MWL. Hopefully everyone is ready for SC season!

1/30/16 - Win, Win, Loss, Win - Meeple Madness Store Championship

edits -3 peddler, +2 hacktivist meeting, +1 run amok. These edits will kill me round 3. just wait and see.

Eliot - round 1: AFter losing my RP game (lost 6-6 he hosted TFP on film last minue to win. I had a win in remote) I really wanted this win. I didn't want a split. Turn 1 was the rudest thing in the world. I already had a siphon in hand but no breaker. Click 1 I choose to inject and see another siphon and a ddos. He hedge - install - install as HB: etf. Oh perfect. 10 creds. 2 click - DDos (use) Siphon, siphon. he's on 0 and I'm on 21 credits. excellent start. I dont' remember much of this game. Most turns after that was me checking RnD and getting free points. He managed to recover while i was looking for eater/Keyhole. Instead I get 2 blackmails and an apocalypse. So I blackmail Rnd. I blackmail HQ. Eliot looks at me... looks up to think.. and says, "Shit". I run Archives and click 4 play apocalypse. He put more ice down but by that time, keyhole showed up in my hand. I forget how I close out but I find the last few points pretty easy.

Ross (hasuprotoss) - round 2: This was one of the most fun games of netrunner, I've ever played. Ross is one of the best players in ATL. I was kinda nervous going against an RP. I expected an early caprice on a central somewhere. Most likely HQ since he knew I was going to siphon/apocalpyse. I forgot my opening hand... but I mulligan into money but nothing that would pressure ross. I made a mistake of just blind running hq and letting him rez enigma. I'm now on the hunt for Yog. He puts down a caprice on hq and soon after Celebrity Gifts into 2 whatever cards, a Future Perfect, GFI, and Nisei... wut. He already had a remote set up with a lotus rezzed cause I ran there too like an idiot to trash his sundew. There is no way I'm getting in to access that server. I have nothing to deal with lotus. (may want to think about spooned). He goes ahead to IAA GFI while i'm digging for my yog so I can kill that caprice on hq. He scores GFI and I know Nisei is going down there. I'm digging for pieces and see keyhole ddos. He IA Nisei. I'm trying to draw like a mad man. I need those peddlers... making an entrance... something. I have Earth rise ticking off but still not finding what i need. I really miss those peddlers. He IA Nisei and I'm starting to wonder if he's just gonna run away with the game. I do have turntable in hand and I put it on the board (i think i threw it down when he was getting GFI going). He scores Nisei... So I choose to DDOS/keyhole. I get 2 hits and get a jackson, and nisei mk 2. I manage to swap it out. I forget that exchange. Just know it's 5-2 in his favor and I manage to turntable his live Nisei counter. Which is key for this next portion -- He IAA his TFP. It is time. I do have an Eater/keyhole out. I SoT a siphon. I beat the psi game... I have a shot. I have apocalypse in hand and enough money. I SoT on 3/4 for Amped up. If he hits apocalypse... I lose. 1/4 chance. He misses. I'm seeing the candy ladies and gentlemen. I keyhole. Get some ice so he can't use it. I run archives. let him fire crick and do things. He's not sure what I'm calculating. I hit apocalypse and wipe his board. The game is not over. After this... it's a scramble to get more setup. I think celebrity gifted to show a susanoo and toll. he puts an ice on hq for click 3. So now i'm looking for points. I ran archives got a fetal ai. I'm fairly sure I put fetal ai in there with keyhole at some point. We both forget TFP is in there.... so misplay... but we both agree to move on after he installed jackson and susanoo on rnd. Now I'm looking hard for david. Draw is so weak...... He sets up remote and econ. I manage to find david and siphon... I then install keyhole. He lets it go through. I think he interns a caprice nisei on rnd cause he sees my keyhole i put out. I deja for a siphon and this time he rezzed toll... and a pad. so I take his 1 credit and i go on a regular run to rnd (susanoo was rezzed at this point. I think i tried a blind keyhole). I kill nisei and then keyhole again for nothing. I deja for the other david. He chooses to intern a lotus field on rnd. Now I'm screwed. His remote is set up and he got lotus to stop keyhole. I have a new david down and I try to run amok rnd. He doesn't rez lotus field. Top deck??? no. I have 2 david counters left and enough money for hq runs. I set up for next turn. He trashes sundew and IA. This is it. I can't keyhole. I have no blackmails for remote (and he's got nisei in remote anyway). So... run hq. lose 3 credits and my second david counter. What do I pull? The Future Perfect. At this point I only have 6 credits left. So I can go back in and do it again. But I don't want to. So I bid two. He puts his hand out... I put my hand out... He opens and says, "2?"... I open and say, "2". We both just drop our credits and shout. We both had so much fun playing this game. What a great game. It was intense.

Christopher - round 3: Okay... I lost this match and was a salty little girl about it. I had already lost to him as RP when he beat me at the psi game on game point for both of us. But he played it well. He kept his hand and I mulligan. He starts off by saying "I probably should have mulligan". He installs two remotes and takes a hedge. OPEN REMOTES. I dig hard for siphon/keyhole... anything. I get set up with money and get ready to hammer. His turn two was san san into astro. He took awhile to think about it and decided to do it. Okay... FA. here we go. I throw down keyhole and go to town. I see Traffic Accident and immediately say outloud "24/7 kills eh?" and he says nothing. I know what I'm dealing with now. I money up and I DIIIIIIIGGGGG for turntable. He manages to get astro turn 4. He's on 4. I'm digging to death when i should have been keyholing. I worried way to much about getting turntable down. Soon after he goes broke for the beale. I'm sweating now. I'm keyholing while digging. He's going horizontal and has 1 popup on rnd. I don't know what I was thinking. In my mind... I just thought a turntable into 3 breaking news would be hilarious. Cause then he could try to 24/7 me with 2 ihw in hand. So I just keep digging and take 1-2 keyholes a turn. I manage to hit all his 2/1. 3 Breaking News and 1 15 minutes. I dug so hard to find everything. He jackson back his Breaking News and I know he'll probably top deck the BN. He does... and wins. I leave salty. I made mistakes and I'm the only one to blame. I chose to replace peddlers and I suffered for it. Congratulations to this guy. He made it to second in swiss and overall 4th place. Moral of the story... don't make last minute changes to a deck you've tested for 3 months

Terry - round 4 - I already know I"m out of top 4. With my last swept and losing another in round 1. 3-3 won't cut it. This game was straight forward. This opponent was a little less experienced so i took the time to help him. He played blue sun and spent a lot of time advancing ice. He spent 7 credits advancing his remote ice. So i blackmail, blackmail, run archives, apocalypse. I won with keyhole shortly after. Classic BS from this deck. Very nice guy. dirty fingernails though (sorry man... it's true)

great Store Championship. Looking forward to councilman and making an entrance.

revert changes. +3 peddler, -2 hactivist, -1 run amok.

2/5/2016 - WIN, WIN, WIN - Jinteki.net - satps - nerfed Haarpsichord - I figured I'd give you a shout out Luke. First two games went pretty handily to me. Last game was much closer after taking 3 news team upfront... Played Haarp real well. Thankgoodness for plascrete. Allows me a little room to actually do what I do.

2/6/2016 - WIN - live game at DodgePong's place - Holly - NEH Kill - Went over to @dodgepongs place to record for "The Art of Running" which is a video series he's starting up to feature two experienced players playing against each other and then commentating on their own game, giving insight into why they made certain decisions. The featured game was HB FA and Noise. However, the first game we played was NEH kill vs my val. Holly put good pressure on me and money-ed up. She score astro early and I just kept setting up. I got a lot of earth rise and peddler but no siphon or plascrete. finally she IA something with 2 ice over it. I have to blackmail but know the midseason is coming. She messed up on the Midseason play. I gained some money after installing lib. She should have went all in on the trace play. She didn't so I payed for it and survived. If she went broke though... I had keyhole on peddler ready to rock and roll. I managed to get plascrete down and hold an IHW most the game. Stuff happened but I eventually went tag me as I started siphoning then keyholing. I hit lots of good jacksons and ice. I believe she burned a jackson and I trashed the others. I had free rein. She did attempt the kill and hit 2 non ihw cards in hand. She followed up with scorch so I use a plascrete counter and let her hit 3. Safe. I finished up some keyholes and got the last little bit of points. GG.

*wasteland tournament - undefeated in Swiss. Loss in cut to Alex. Didn't respect sea scorch scorch :(

IG test games + mumba test games

iteration 1 post wasteland event: added 2 hactivist after losing to @shmeguy's Mumba NEH 6 x in a row. still underwhelming. took out earthrise to fit 3rd keyhole and put knifed back in for the wraps. Really want 3 D4

Iteration 2: IG craze: not many changes. Choose to try day jobs and reduce amount of street peds. Did NOT like the feel

Iteration 3: Back on liberated accounts. No more spooned and forgot what else i removed for 2 councilman. Can feel draw power feeling a little weaker. Need Making an Entrance.

Heartthrob giving good suggestions to remove Turntable and also take out mimic/yog for femme and 2nd retrieval. With IG being a threat, it's nice to have 2nd retrieval.
