Karn Evil 20

Let's talk about 7 turn games of Netrunner.

Haarpsichord Studios only allows one agenda to be stolen per turn. If every agenda is a 1 pointer that means that the runner can reliably win in 7 turns. The corp isn't going to be able to score on turn 1 without shredding their own economy. So why do this?

Because it's funny, mostly. Also it might actually be an OK deck against decks with no Imp and runners that aren't named Edward Kim. Let's break the cards down individually.

AGENDAS:

Award Bait, Quantum Predictive Model, and TGTBT all do things on access. Since a big part of this deck is drawing like mad to get the tools you need to win the game (namely money and fire), if the runner ever checks archives they're going to get all kinds of lit up. TGTBT turning on Quantum and scoring you points is bonkers. Also, 15 Minutes is just plain stupid and essentially takes a turn from the runner and gives it to you.

The rest are good too. Breaking News turns on fire. Profiteering fuels your Midseason Replacements and the bad pub can't hurt you. The Future is Now finds you that one card you need right now. False Lead is just cute.

ASSET(S?):

News Team is crazy pants. Either the runner loses a turn. loses 2 clicks and 4 credits, or dies. All of these are good, and it costs NOTHING TO USE. Oh, and did I mention it works out of Archives? Because it does.

No J-How because J-How is for actually playing Netrunner. You don't leak agendas as much as you just gush them out everywhere, and J-How can't plug that hole. If you're going to draw for a turn you may as well just draw three cards and maybe pull an Anonymous Tip.

OPERATIONS:

LOTS. Money and murder are self-explanatory, so I'll touch on the rest.

Snatch and Grab stops Film Critic from happening. Film Critic slows the runner down a lot but you still don't want them to have it. If the runner takes the tag just blap Critic next click and/or set them on fire.

Anonymous Tip makes you go fast. You're going to overdraw like crazy. That's fine, you want that. Dump all your cards that say "when accessed" in the garbage and make it a terrible place to be, IG style.

24/7 News Cycle lets you reactivate Breaking News to explode the runner for no good reason. Oh dear god this card. This slot was originally 3 copies of SEA Source, but being able to suddenly reactivate Profiteering to fuel a Midseasons is better than handing out a single tag that can't turn on Traffic Accident. Your mileage may vary.
