Cards are the currency [35th at Łódź Megacity]

jagoten 19

Achievments unlocked with this deck during Megacity Łódź:

  • Got a kill with Complete Image (in fairness - this was against a really new player to the game, but hey - you cannot say that it didn't happen)
  • At least three raised eyebrows when other players seen the ID on the table
  • Played a game against @staniach21 who had few thousands games on Jinteki.net and he was still like "let me read that card, because I only remember the art from it"

If the above achievments and me being really fond of them does not tell it enough - yes, I'm an unapologetic uber-Johnny player and that will likely not change anytime soon.

The idea behind a deck was simple - put as much pressure on card hand as possible, ideally keeping runner's credit pool low by forcing them to trash assets. Cards are the main currency here. Bring Them Home card with an alternate card-text modified in MS Paint

Keep the runner low on cards with every tool at Your disposal - fire Bladderwort, Reaper Function and Byte! as much as possible. Punish the runner for trashing/stealing with Bring Them Home (especially when threat is already 3). Create a honeypot remote with Fujii and Daniela, get them on threat 3 and finish the job either with reveal and Complete Image or Touch-ups and Complete Image.

That being said - this deck is not really good. I've tinkered with it a bit before the tournament and at the last minute got convinced to switch Humanoid Resources to Federal Fundraising - I think in the end that was a mistake. This deck doesn't have ability to drip-econ and even if it works - it doesn't really give any reliable win-con as is. Having lots of 2 copies of cards also doesn't give it reliability. So, in good conscience, I do not recommend it.

But an altered version with Humanoid Resources or other type of tempo-table-building will be tested further!

All in all - the event renewed my love for the game and I am really thankful to the entire polish Netrunner community for organizing this event and giving me opportunity to meet and spend time with all of the players!

Hi! Unfortunately I underperform terribly during the tournament, but meeting such a player on the lower tables I consider the greatest reward for my frustrations with FA Nebula. Watching with what attention you write down everything you see and your entire gameplan was a joy to watch! Don't change, but play something good someday :P

P.S I have 6000 games on Jnet, so “hundreds” treats as an insult in my direction ;P

@staniach21 - I honestly forgot how big of a number You've mentioned during the game, so I decided to play it safe. Fixed it now, sorry!

And You can always count on me to provide some breath of fresh air.

Thank you for keeping this ID alive xD I've been trying to justify using it too. I think this is the most pathetic ID in standard right now.
