Glacier Leo (Undefeated, 1st @Beijing May Tournament)

ccxkrish1921 202

round 1-Deep Dive Nyusha, 7:2 win, 2 cards in central accessed. Hagen hurts.

round 2-runner side, lose

round 3-runner side, win

round 4-The famous control Magdalene deck, 7:2 win, 1 cards in central accessed. Isaac Bran+Ablative make lockdown impossible.

round 5-Orca-Lob-Paule-Knickknack Captain, 7:0 win, 0 cards in central accessed. Start hand with Hedge Fund+Mercia turns into auto win.

round 6-runner side, win

top cut-reg criminal, 7:4 win, 7 cards in central accessed ( including Cup run with no points in hand). Absurdly bad draw but Sprint saves me from getting flooded too early.

Remember to put Bumi or Bran protecting Archives.

Against this deck the runner shall prepare for multi-access into HQ or R&D, remotes is generally hard to get locked. Paying 7 credits or your whole turn to pass Bran+Bumi only in exchange of Bumi or Mercia is unwise, save for 12 credits and run twice.

I'm considering cut Petty Cash or RLC for 1 copy of Scapenet . This deck mostly only lose to The Twinning, against Cupellation or Cataloguer you can shuffle all agendas to R&D or hold all winning agendas in HQ. Also Scapenet is hardly a dead card, it can kill Simulchip, Devil Charm, Cacophony or simply their companions.

If you dont mind me asking, why the Afshar?

Did you try Hakarl?

@Kharack Afshar is the best code gate I can find for Leo. It's often the case that the runner run aggressively in early game for random access or hope to trash Mercia, in which case you want cheap etr and Afshar perfectly the demands with some extra punishment. After decoder installed Afshar generally cost 3+3 (not innermost) or 3+1 (innermost), not bad for a 3 cost ice. Tatu-Bola will charge Curupira so didn't choose it.

@Thike Hakarl is better when protecting Archives, I choose Hagen mostly for Cezve and early SMC. In playtesting I think the derez effect is almost useless even with 4 targets.

@rapanui Thanks! I really like this deck, exquisitely in line with my netrunner aesthetics. Unfortunately I think RLC will get banned because of too much powerful interactions.

I had no idea what to play on Poland Megacity and saw this several days before, play like maybe 10 games before tournament and win with this.
