[3-1 Startup Worlds] Money? Clicks? Nah, More Jeitinho

dawncloak 1

Based on the decks that tried this in standard, I present to you the no frills Jeitinho deck to stab the corps with.

Why steve?

While other crims can get you money (Zahya, Ken), and crims in Standard have Sable for extra clicks, Steve on the other hand gets you the greatest gift of all: More Jeitinhos!

If you get a wizards chest early, you can call hardware, hit another wizard and activate it the same turn. This means two copies to use Steve's ability on. This means that one wizard is enough to threaten a win in just 9 runs, no extra draws required.

If you've already drawn your Jeits for the game, a cheeky S-Dobrado back from the heap can easily close out a game.

In play I only lost to a turn 3 cloud eater when I was playing too aggressive. That's usually needed, but not against Jinteki lol.

When dealing with glacier Weyland you just need to take a few risks early to get 2 Jeits, then transition to a sneakdoor setup with a couple S-Dobrados.

I won't lie, every single game was within a few credits or 1 turn from losing, so the deck probably still has some weaknesses. Good games and had a great time for my first Netrunner tournament.

I don't understand how Steve actually gets you more Jeitinhos? If there was one in your heap to bring back, wouldn't the corp just remove it from the game, crippling the whole game plan. ?

It's wizards chest that you use to get more jeitinhos. Since a wizards chest will always hit jeit or another wizards, you can pull a wizards back from your heap without worrying about losing jeit.

And since you can wizards as many times as you want in a turn, you hope to throw two of them in the heap for the next run.

Thanks for clarifying this. I was just rereading your breakdown and it clicked for me haha. I'm going to run this deck tomorrow in a casual local startup tourney. It looks like a fun ride.
