Leela Patele 4 - IKoS 2020 winning team

Berzelius 276

This is the deck I've brought to the Italian King of Servers 2020 (22/2/2020) as part of the winning team Turin City Grid.

The name is a word play in piedmontese language, with patele meaning beatings, because she's gonna beat you down if you try to score an agenda (or, at least, she'll try).

The main problem of playing Leela Gang Sign (at least, my version) was that this deck needs lots of money to be quick enough to set up. Paladin Poemu and Keiko overcome this problem, giving you a 2 credits discount on every first installation. As a bonus, the extra MU on Keiko allows you to have another Rezeki installed, increasing your cash flow. Paladin Poemu has also a nice sinergy with Gang Sign, because it gains a credit if you steal an agenda during a Gang Sign access.

Here's a small report.

  • Round 1 timed win vs PE: as my teammate Icon says, "Against PE you need to turn off your brain" and so I did, installing a risky mono Gang Sign, that allowed me to steal an Obokata. Time was called while I was leading 5-3.
  • Round 2 lost vs ar00ndell's Azmari BOOM (played on Jinteki): after he rushed 2 agendas (False Lead and Bellona) he forced me to steal the other Bellona he had in hand, in order to kill me with the HHN + False Lead + BOOM combo.
  • Round 3 win vs braverising's fakepoints Sportsmetal: the funniest match of the day, with two abilities that heavily rely on "when scored/stolen" abilities. Gang Sign and Leela's are great in this matchup, because they disrupt the scoring combo and force the corp to find a way around it.
  • Round 4 lost vs Max's RP: killed by the combo while I was still setting everything up.

Thanks to the organizers and to my teammates edobram, koga and Icon for the second IKOS win in a row.
