Schadenfreude 2.2 - 39th Place at European Championship 2017

Icon 263

"Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də] ( listen); lit. 'harm-joy') is pleasure derived from the misfortune of others. Borrowed from German into English and several other languages, it is a feeling of joy that comes from seeing or hearing about another person's troubles or failures. It is an expression of pleasure or self-satisfaction at another's failure".

I brought this ID to the European Championship 2017 in Birmingham as a form of farewell to it because it will soon rotate out; of course it wasn't a good choice because the meta is full of HB Nightmare Moon (I've added the 46th card for it, a third copy of Hacktivist Meeting ), Controlling the Message and SYNC (all terrible match-ups for this deck), but I love it so much and I cannot refuse to play it until it exists <3 Sadly, I went 4-6 with it, but with the help of the Corp deck (A Jinteki PE deck named Tetraphobia, you can find it here on Netrunnerdb), I reached the 39th position (a good result for me and for this 2 strange decks).

I play this ignorant Tag Me deck since June 2015 and I was inspired by an italian champion that was using Quetzal: Free Spirit as his ID. The concept of this deck is the same: choke the Corp and destroy its resources.

The goal is to tax the Corp by force your opponent to rez the ICE protecting HQ. Then, with a lot of card draw effects you must find 1 copy of your Eater and begin to run hard with Account Siphon or Vamp (yes, I learned the meaning of "Schadenfreude" thanks to this card XD). If the Corp rez a bad piece of ICE, you have just to trash it with one of the lot of cards that trashes things. The Data Leak Reversal/Joshua B./Wireless Net Pavilion suite will does the rest of the work, or you may choose to dig deeply in R&D by using Medium when the Corp is poor (so don't run in it unless the corp has 3-4 credits or lower: an Architect in front of it can be a game loss). And take care of Crisium grids on HQ, if you can, by trashing the ICE in front of it, as I've already explained before.

Thanks for your interest! Feedbacks are welcome! ;)

Hi Emanuele, thanks for the nice games with you and your gang! :) This deck seems really fun, I wish I could have put up at least some fight. But well, it was still fun and nice to meet you!

I really like this! I play a DLR Reina that's very resource heavy. This deck looks like it makes a lot more runs and is probably more fun to play - for the runner side anyway. I'm definitely going to try this out.
