A-aron Waltz 1.1 (3-1) @ TEG Store Championship

This is the deck I ran with at the Total Escape Games Store Championship in Broomfield, CO. Last store championship of the season with 21 players! I got swept the first round, by going against a SOL deck using Aryabhata Tech and Macrophage deck that sufficiently drained all my money to the point that I conceded as I had no real hope of winning as it was a glacier build that had plenty of funds and kept me poor. Second round was against Argus which with Leela’s ability and Aaron made for a quick game. I then faced a Architects of Tomorrow deck that did a great job of having rezzed ICS across the board, but thanks to the HQI and RDI installations, my runs allowed me to get enough points for the win. At this point, I managed to also score wins with my PU deck giving me 12 points going into the 4th round. With 24 sweeps in the first three rounds, most of us needed a sweep in the 4th round for a chance to make the cut to top 4. Last round was against a Blue Sun deck which I was able to get a desperado and sneakdoor online in the first two turns and saw the midseasons in hand so I knew scoring any agendas without a good amount of credits in my pool would inevitably lead to my death from BOOM!, one of which I had trashed from accessing in HQ. Fortunately, the turn I scored an agenda I had enough points that I would have had enough credits to not make the midseason play worthwhile. I can’t remember much after that as I could get a credit lead and win on points. Changes from the prior version are the HQI and Guru. The HQI I feel is better than legwork with the sneakdoor runs and increased cards you get to see in HQ while running aggressively. The Guru was added primarily to stop railgun decks due to facing it at Petries SC a couple of weeks ago, which of course I didn’t go against. However, with Jinteki seemingly increasing in our meta, I’m keep testing with Guru because it’ll be useful against Snare! accesses. Anyway, it was great playing Leela again during the last couple of store championships. My strength of schedule kept me from making the cut, but it was a great day of netrunner with Apex winning the day in a field of some very strong players.
