Strikes Leela (1st and undefeated, Freemont, CA Store champ)

14 player SC

Leela is good and criminal is fun. Undefeated on the day, Aaron Marron is awesome. Employee strike and marron make the ctm match up a breeze.

Faced Sandberg RP, Building a Better World *(woops had this listed as because we built it), CTMx3.

Best moment: in round 3 ctm goes to 0 credits Rezzing data raven on hq, I install peregrine and run R&D into Rezzed archangel, derez with peregrine and run one more time, to get two medium counters, score a Beale and bounce archangel opening R&D pretty much for the test of the game.

It was a good day :)

Why fem?

Femme's bypass ability is great for big ice, or for mother goddess when no other ice is Rezzed. This is relevant for current ci builds. I often win against CI with this deck by using sneakdoor to pound hq until they find archive ice then use femme to get past that ice. Also femme is a decent sentry breaker that allows you to run double sentry servers, a weakness of mongoose. Some people go double mongoose or include faerie, but I haven't had too much trouble with this breaker suite + the Leela ability. Deck slots are tight and I personally wouldn't drop femme. It's Tough to install but with this deck you usually have the money. Often R&D is the most lightly defended server with 1 or 2 ice, femming the problem ice on R&D to medium dig for the win is a common way to close games.
