Guantanamo Swan Song (1st & Undefeated @ NZ Nats 2023)

xiaat 360

This deck is a huge nod to @bking's and @Sokka's unholy creature of Guantanamo Bay Bay, the OG Keeling Ag prison deck, affectionately dubbed 'The Villain'. All it took to become competitively successful was for players to learn some lines against this Corp and start losing faster lmao.


Runners of all factions when they queue into AgInf

I've had a lot of success with this archetype over the summer (let's call it a "fan favorite" among the folks in my local meta). However, I was never confident enough to actually bring the list to an event in fear of losing on time. Recent QtM's sweeping success at Continentals and other events with a 49 card variations made me reconsider my choices. The SBL team was right on the academic's tail as well, and the New Zealand National Championship turned out to be the last event to allow for both Keeling and DreamNet to still be legal. This was the archetype's time to shine.

I didn't need any extensive training since I was familiar with the deck and its ability to create very challenging boardstates, although some practice games still helped to tune a few slots to the current breaker suites. Some of those changes like 3x Bran are a product of QtM evil geniuses, others I can call my own, like removing Magnets which turned out to have no real targets on the day, or adding 1x Mavirus to help with Turtle matchups.

One major point of contention between these decks is a choice of HB upgrade between Cold Site Server and Manegarm Skunkworks, discussed in great detail in @AugustusCaesar's writeup (the man himself turned out to be my first opponent on the day). I tried both options in testing and found it nigh impossible to make a good choice, but decided to approach this dilemma from a different angle. The one thing I really loved about the original Unband list was one of the lowest agenda densities possible in the game. With Mad Dash seeing close to zero play in the current meta, and the agenda suite becoming much less Dash-able with the ban of Obo, it became a much more noticeable argument in favor of a 59 card list. From there the plan was obvious: running the remote lock of Bran - Anoetic - Cold Site while praying not to lose off centrals (and usually pulling through with relative ease).

I went undefeated with the list on the day, feeling very solid in almost all games, cutting Runners' options with Keeling ticking, while guiding them towards unsafe facechecks and accesses.

I was pretty nervous about playing a long night of Netrunner: the tournament started at 1:30 AM for me and ended at about 10 AM. I tried to get some shut eye before the event, but you can imagine how it went: instead of falling asleep at 8 PM I spent the next 5 hours turning in my bed, thinking of every possible way I lost in the past and could lose tonight. It turned out OK after all, with me making my first ever top cut and everything that followed.

Huge thanks to @nbkelly for running such a clean event and to @Jai for streaming it. Thanks to all of my opponents for the great matches, and to my testing group partners for being there to bounce Hosh list ideas off of each other or just suffering at the hands of Dr. Vientiane over and over. @emmel @AmarumAcies @Mortivor YOU ARE FREE NOW

Between @KyraWNY's 49 card variation and my list the deck went 8-0 on the day.

My Runner deck was a take on Bridgeman's Simpler Hosh as seen here.

Congratulations! I hate that deck and [netrunnerdb.com](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/33106 girl), finally she's banned.

Congrats on becoming the new NZ champion! My three-year reign is finally over, and it's served me well (please note this is the first NZ nats in three years, lol). Nice to see we both won it with prisons (https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/ace9c7de-e889-4c43-bd4a-02478e339652/iceman-1st-at-new-zealand-nationals-2020-6-0-), and both with Hoshiko too! Long may she live.

@Amarum thanks! I'll try my best to find or build some new prison nonsense to keep you busy.
@Ghost Meat thanks! Feels great to accept the torch from such a dirty list haha. A true CTM classic

Hello and congrats! Do you see this remaining a good list if replacing Dr. Vientiane Keeling (after-ban) with NGO Front and just baiting the Runner to stop you from going to 7? (assuming you managed to gearcheck/tax him/her -or again, baited- for the previous points) Or perhaps replace and bait with advanceable traps?

@m4trix87 hi and thank you! It's hard to find a quick substitute for the Keeling plan right now (it's probably for the best). Switching either to a scoring plan or traps would require a lot of swaps in the list. Rather than trying to cram all of that into this comment, I'd rather give you some decklist suggestions closest to the ideas you've mentioned.
"Vegetarian" AgInfusion by @testrunning - scoring 7 points and sometimes casually doing 6 to 8 damage to the Runner trying to steal from your remote.
Your Digital Rotom'zmari6 by @RotomAppliance/@is44ru - solid glacier out of NBN, generally resilient to K2CP Turbine which is great. I'm working on a different version of this list right now.
Nightmare Saraswati by @Runaway - not a big fan of the archetype, but I feel like this is the epitome of advanceable traps, maybe alongside some iceless Issuaq.
Hope you find something you like!

Stakeholder Presentation

In the medical field, nurses often need to present their interdisciplinary improvement plans to stakeholders. This can be a difficult skill to master. The following resources can help you develop a compelling PowerPoint presentation. These presentations should be clear and concise. They should also include logically placed citations and follow current APA style guidelines.

Identify an Inter-professional Issue

Many nursing professionals have a hard time communicating with their colleagues. This may be due to different work schedules, language barriers, or even cultural differences. However, if nurses are able to communicate effectively with one another, they can help each other solve problems and improve patient care. Moreover, a more positive and healthy working environment will make it easier for nurses to work together. This can be achieved by introducing pay someone to take my online class new ways of working. For example, nurses can be encouraged to take on leadership roles. This will help them develop their own skills and will also allow them to be more productive in the workplace. In order to promote interprofessional education, the Campaign has established state Action Coalitions that encourage nurses and other health care providers to work collaboratively. These Coalitions have a variety of activities, including developing interprofessional learning opportunities and identifying resources for interprofessional practice. In addition, they are developing a database of information on interprofessional education and collaboration.

Develop an Innovative Plan Solution

Developing an innovative plan solution requires more than just an understanding of the problem. It also requires a strong grasp of the tools that can be used to solve it. These can include a range of control systems such as standardized document formats, audit trails and a system that corrects mistakes. This can help improve nurs fpx 4010 assessment 4 stakeholders presentation the efficiency of nursing staff and reduce errors in patient care. One way to achieve this is through the use of nursing informatics, which is a fusion of healthcare science and information technology. This can improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare practices, which is an important goal for any nurse. Another way to improve healthcare is through the use of interdisciplinary teamwork. Nurses need to be able to work with other healthcare professionals to ensure that patients receive the best care possible. This can be difficult, but there are a number of ways that nurses can overcome these challenges. These can include establishing trusting communication and bringing down intangible barriers.

Time

Online learning can be very time-consuming, and staying on top of all your assignments can be difficult if you have other obligations to attend to. That’s why many students turn to online class help to get the assistance they need. If you’re paying someone to take your online course for you, it’s crucial that they submit work within the deadline. It’s also important to make sure NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 3 PICO (T) Questions and Evidence Based Approach that they keep you posted on the status of your grades. However, there is a risk that the person you hire might do poor work or even cheat. Some schools consider paying someone to take a class for you to be a form of academic dishonesty and may punish you by giving you a failing grade or even expulsion.
