Crime Does Pay (Jupiter Games SC winner, Binghamton, NY)

kwind 187

Just for symmetry, I figured I'd post my Andy list that went along my EtF (https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/41043/rosetta-stone-winner-jupiter-sc-binghamton-ny-) at Jupiter Games.

Nothing terribly groundbreaking about it. TTW fits my play style a little better than medium, and CVS/macrophage are pretty common. Hades shard for shutdown decks. I swapped Kati in for John Masanori at the last second and didn't regret it.

If I knew exactly what decks I would be facing, Hades shard would have been a second datasucker, rebirth, film critic or deuces wild, and vamadeva would have been a second legwork, third security testing, Masanori or a sneakdoor beta (I avoided the combo decks in Swiss, and they didn't make the cut). Probably depends on my mood. But I hate losing to shutdown decks, hence the extra hate (I avoided the combo decks in Swiss, and they didn't make the cut).

In Swiss, wins against sleeper hold HB, core Weyland rush-kill, and CTM, with a loss to a funky Palana muhshin deck. After cut, wins against IG-49 and CTM in the semifinals. Good, tight games all day on both sides. Great event.

Congrats on the win. I know what you mean about HBT. I can't tell you how many times I've been surprised by it. And when I get hit by it I've basically had to concede.

Why did you run Vamadeva?

Thanks, Biz.

Grandesign - A lot of CI7 lists look to put a mother goddess on HQ against criminals, which can lock you out all game. That's bad because you lose quickly if you can't land any siphons, and HQ is where most of the agendas end up.

It breaks most of the ice if not all of it against the typical CI7 deck (I'm seeing a lot more Turing on HQ lately though) and against a lot of lists breaks everything IG49 runs too. It can be useful in other matchups, but you generally won't be installing it because it costs 6.
