Hubris/Resolve (6th @ NANPC Boston)

Wentagon 395

This is an iteration on my 4th-place Summer Showdown Ari, in which I got lost in the sauce and threw in totally different tech cards, bloated the list to 48 (but it's all just more draw!1!!), and cut Clot because I didn't respect Sports.

I found out the hard way that Blame Never Changes in game three in the cut which ended my run.

Despite that I am still very happy with my run in this tournament. I won my first three swiss games, then lost two more in a row and ended up in a win or go home situation with three more to play in a truly stacked field. However:

COPE

Even though my run ended at 6th in the cut, this tournament and the one last week have helped cement a new resolve this year to keep trying to get better at this game. I felt like my play had plateaued for some time, and it feels good to believe there is more room to grow. ๐Ÿ’š Bost always for the support.


Let me end with some reasons why this tournament was a fantastic experience in every way:

  • Great store location that gave out generous store credit for the top cut
  • Run like a well oiled machine with Ysengrin, NotAgain, Whiteblade, and Jamie all teaming up for judging and running rounds
  • Insanely high quality stream team that made this mistake of letting me ramble on comms :D
  • And most importantly, a mix of some 40 odd new and old NetRunner friends that make all the travel and walks to sketchy SubWays so worth it
