"The Los": Big VibesRunner, 2-1 at Seattle Prep CO

Brought this to the ECG meetup on thursday, which was organized into a CO with full-on prizes thanks to @maninthemoon and @Smittyl.

I have finally come full circle from my card game experiences. I originally started playing card games with Hearthstone, and basically took to the day9 experience of playing the game.

That is: Just exude confidence and make calls for any RNG plays and you'll hit them WAAAAY more then you should.

Then I started learning about boring things like "playing the odds" and "card value" and "tempo" and moved onto netrunner and learned more things like "click compression" and "scoring windows".

For this meetup I simply decided to build Los and play mostly off of vibes. Worked pretty well for me.

This list is basically the fite club los list posted by DeeR, with some minor changes:

• I wanted some more ease to get + recur programs so I added an extra Mutual Favor and the praxis as a fun way to also potentially get resources back.
• Gave a slower option for derez in the form of Rubicon Switch + Keros Mcintyre. My logic was that Window of Opportunity can sometimes provide an opportunity to re-enable Rubicon on priority ICE.
• Added some fun cards in the form of Reprise, Cupellation, and Solidarity Badge (I WAS REALLY EXPECTING R+ OKAY).
• Removed the doofs because I'm a heretic that believes doof is overrated and everyone is expecting it.

The games I played were insane:

• Game 1 loss vs Ag: Randomly got my singletons of Rubicon Switch + Keros Mcintyre and proceeded to bankrupt the corp until they got the Charlotte Caçador + La Costa Grid combo going, then prompty died to Anansi being one credit down to break after installing a Saci :(.
• Game 2 win vs PD: I made like 6 successful runs and sniped 3 agendas off of them for 8 points, one turn before the Big Deal score out. All the steals were something like a 1/6+ snipe out of HQ.
• Game 3 win vs PE: Stole an early Fujii, random sniped a 1-pointer out of HQ. Decided to just go for the RND run with a single WAKE counter turn 6 or so. Fujii on the 2nd accessed card.

I was also able to TWICE get an ICE rez off that brought me to 5 credits to play Sure Gamble from hand, which is truly the play that makes you feel like a genius.

Huge thanks to everyone in the seattle scene, particularly those I played. I'm very happy to see Los maybe back in the meta: He was the ID I brought out the first time I ever went to a tournament (and consequently when I first met a bunch of the local scene) and holds a special place in my heart because of that.

Maybe next time we'll get more representation so that anytime I'm mentioned for a matchup I'm not referred to as just "The Los" 🤣.
