Net-Ready Andy, 3rd Place ANRPC Mid-Atlantic Circuit, 5/31

Net-Ready eyes has proven to be more interesting in theory than in practice, at least in this deck. Criminal decks are often laser-precise with card choices, and you almost never have a hand where discarding 2 random cards is a good prospect because you typically need all those cards, have no way to get them back, and your card-draw options are very poor. So in practice, NRE sits in your hand until your opponent rezzes a Lotus Field to keep Yogsucker out. For the influence I'd rather just pack a singleton Zu and be done with it. NRE is certainly much better in Shaper and Anarch where your card draw and recursion options are way better and the damage isn't a big deal. That said, this deck did well because it does typical Criminal things. Make money, run efficiently, get accesses.
