Robin Hood of Sheffingham, 4th @ Sheffield District

Divide and Conquer is back baby!

This deck is basically the same as what I've been playing across this competitive season. I nearly swapped to the sweet Hosh deck that keeps doing really well, but I played two games with some afficionados and despite winning both games they told me I was playing it wrong by making cheeky single-accesses on undefended centrals... They're almost certainly right, but I think that's just not my style.

So I guess this is a love-letter to a playstyle. My opponents are very clever and can duke me in the remote(s), often they can trick me into thinking HQ is empty too (so a little nudge can help). You know where they can't duke me though? Ol'faithful R&D.

I love to make the right read on where an agenda is hiding, but that's really hard and the number of times this deck can get it wrong and still be in the game is limited. In exchange though, Quetzal makes a bunch of ICE in the opponents deck not function properly and gives you the ability to both rapidly spike in breaking potential when your opponents think they are safe as well as build up a board state that makes Corps seriously consider putting the 4th ICE on servers.

So, here's to a taking a little gamble on the R&D slot machine, having a little gander at a card or two in HQ, and maybe even working out when the single advanced card in the remote is Charlotte and when it's an agenda. Then if you feel the walls are closing in, always remember you can manically Mosh into Finality for 6. It does the trick sometimes.

I love Netrunner and all the cool people that make it fun to play💖
