CI Hasty (Barcelona "Grumpy Shop" Store Winner)

CaptainMark 181

This is the corp deck with which I won the Store Championship in "Grumpy Shop", Barcelona.

Thanks to the team UK for playing something like this while I was struggling trying to find a corp deck able to beat today runners, and one of my mates for, before I saw them playing, pointing out that CI was a very good option for the actual meta.

Although he was referring to the combo version, I was afraid this was not enough (probably wrong). I wanted something that could play good the currents war, and, if not able to pull one, score immediately to trash one. This was, in fact, a key factor in two of my wins, being able to pull Targeted Marketing 3 times (2 from hand and archived the third) over the 3 Employee Strike that my rival was recurring with Déjà Vu.

I won against 2 Kim, one of them both in swiss and top, which was unexpected and hard to deal. I choose this deck because you don't "need" to rely on ice a lot, as the agendas are hidden under a lot of cards in HQ (false security sensation, but well...), but Kim is a real problem, as he can trash your combo pieces. So, the ice was needed here. Fortunately I was able to won both matches.

The next two swiss games were ID, and then I played the deck on finals against DLR Andy. Apparently an anti-Netrunner matchup, as both decks are non-interactive... But it was a blast. The last turns were brutal, and finally my rival, probably the best player here, milled me with blacklist online. One more card in RD and I have won the game (mate, I know what you think, but you know I have to say it XD).

In the end, very nice option to play on this Store season!
