Derivative Esâ (EMEA list rip-off), 2nd @ Polish Nats 2024

Took a very strong deck and made it worse by slotting a desperation multiaccess instead of more card draw. Went 3-2 with it in swiss and 1-2 in the cut. The winners finals failure was in the game practically already won, where I've managed to get a game loss by creatively installing the full rig without Marrow and realizing it after a couple of turns, so the deck itself performed more like 5-3 than 4-4 (if you take out the grug brained pilot out of the equation). In the other 3 losses I've always had my chances, which is a sign of a strong runner deck.

What carried me though, was Azmari kill deck which went 8-0 across five swiss rounds and the cut.

Light the Fire! should be cut, used it only once to pay for Degree Mill.

3x Running Hot is the correct number. Sometimes the corp gets to game point and you just need a billion click turn to find the win. 3x makes it more likely to get another one after playing Ashen Epilogue.

However I stand by the Finality slot. This card worked hard for me during the tournament.

Amazing weekend. Huge thanks to zombiak for organizing a great event and to everyone that attended!
