TAI Beater Ashnikko (Top of Swiss @ Summer Showdown)

Best deck, can't believe the ban list didn't hit this. Grateful though as it is so much fun to play.

I think everyone in EA Sports was at least 1 card different with this list, will continue to fiddle around with the last few slots as the meta evolves.

friends getting together in meat space to play netspace netrunner, mostly against one another..

Very happy to be playing with EA Sports, joined in person by Fridan, Aashbo and KamiKami and digitally by Kikai, davz_131 and Countzer0 🏅

By totally random bad luck I ended up playing my first two rounds against two people in the same room as me... and got paired up against Kikai in round 7 (although we were safe to ID at that point).

This was my first ever cut and that is in no small part to this deck being sick as hell, my corp also did well.

I was also able to beat 2 TAI Breakers, Koga in swiss and Wowarlok in the cut. (Looking forward to listening back to Aksu's totally unbiased commentary for that game).

Must be hard to always lose to a team half your size... 👀

There's nothing more disrespectful than misspelling one's name, even mine >:( \j
Seriously though congrats on the placement, very deserved!

How many times did you actually get value from ashen epilogue? value = play more than like 5 cards. Also sorry for probably being sleepy af during the streamed games :D

I did not play an Ashen all weekend 😅 But having now played this across 4 tournaments I think you probably play the ashen in most of my games against Aginfusion and BtL and it feels great. So if you want to consider it as a 2 inf tech card for the glacier matchup that works.

JAI WHY DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A CARD NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE PLAYED FOR VALUE DURING THE ENTIRE WEEKEND???

It was a mistake! The third raindrops might look like it is worth it but it isn't.
