[Startup] Ken Runs Again (2nd place, NH Circuit Opener)

NotAgain 1328

[Won 2 games, lost 3]

I decided last minute I'm not taking this deck but woke up too late to sleeve another deck. Winning is hard with this deck but when you do win, it feels oddly satisfying. Simple, plain netrunner. Crims doing what crims do, nothing out of the ordinary.

Game 1: Lost against Built to Last. I was too broke and couldn't run to make money so, I sat there trying to make money like a fool.

Game 2: Won against fast advance PD. They got really unlucky with their agenda draws and I capitalized.

Game 3: Lost against RH. Run and lose the cards I need due to net damage or nani grid or run archives and cope. I did the latter while I dug for my cleaver which was conveniently at the bottom of the deck.

Game 4, top cut: Won against Ob. This game happened after a super intense corp game so my brain was on autopilot and I do not know how I did what I did. All I remember is visible confusion, stress or exhaustion on DanB's face. Which of the 3 it was, only he can tell you.

Game 5, finals. Same opponent as game 1, I ended up taking 3-4 whole turns just drawing and discarding to find a cleaver, once again conveniently at the very bottom, followed by both copies of mutual favor.

This really shouldn't be 2nd place but by 80% luck and 20% of my corp deck carrying me, somehow I'm here. Once again, massive thanks to Jamie for some valuable feedback on this deck as well.
